I love it!



Just one question tho Craig - RE the throttle / brake servo.
I am getting the problem where the servo wires on my Futaba S9351 throttle servo are being pinched / flattened, as the bottom of the servo casing is nearly hitting the chassis.

The rubber plug that exits the servo case is also being deformed, as it hits the section of the radio tray that houses the battery.

Any ideas?

But yeah, it went together so well, and such great quality instructions!

Mine was the same with Sanwa servos, i ran my wires around the servo instead of under.

The kit went together really well, and I'm looking forward to trying at the track (if it doesn't rain this weekend). I have run it at the park for half a tank to test it out and it felt real good.

when i first done mine i had no instructions i put the reciever up the front and the battery pack in the rear this way i had no probs with running wires , i have corrected it now and i just run the steering servo wire flat under the throttle servo with some fibre tape over it, i try it this weekend should be ok i think. i also made a little hole in the reciever pack lid to run the lead for the battery on the out side behind the transponder this should be ok, probably will have to change it for the wet weather though.

Any one breaking front CVD's in the D8?
Seems like its a weak spot with the guys racing them in the USA.

There are new shafts coming out in the next few weeks from what i understand.

The new one should be fully heat treated.

Many people running these in Australia? Would you recommend one?
Are parts easy to come by here?
I'm keen to buy one, just not sure about parts availability.

Thanks
