Thanks.
Another question what servo arm is used on the 1.0 (part # or anything)? Is there an aluminum one I can use?
I just got a used 1.0 and trying to clean it a little found that I don't have a servo arm.

There are aluminum servo arms available for most servos. They are brand specific, meaning a servo arm for a JR will NOT fit a Futaba servo and vice versa. What brand servo are you using?

Sorry, the servo horn is what I need. I have a hitec servo so the hitec aluminum one will work?

Most likely, yes. You merely need to confirm it's close in length, and/or has a hole in the right place to connect it.

Im sorry if this has been asked before! Does anyone know if someone makes an aftermarket battery tray. Mine has broken and even with foam padding allows my lipo to shift in the tray and even come out.

Any help would be appreciated.

Eliterc.com has one, but they're sold out at the time or maybe the adjustable one that come in the HPI Vorza?

I put a block of hard foam in the front of my battery and then a thin layer on the bottom of the tray. If you have a spacer the right size in the car and velcro it down tight it should not move at all.

I have broken two trays so far even with hard foam in the the tray. I added a velcro strap down the middle and we'll see how that holds up. RC-Monster makes a high quality tray for the 8ight, but it doesn't fit worth a darn and you have to remove the center spacer. I'm going to return it.

ETA in the systems is 6/25 which is friday. You have to give time for them to check in the kits and then ship them back out though. You may get one by mid next week?
