I think I'm done with the set-up on my car, drove it last night some more and it feels really good and is so much fun to drive. I also drove my old dex410 last night, which is one of the original ones and I could definitely feel that it is a stiffer car, wasn't bad but felt I could drive mine harder, more forgiving.

Only major issue is with the 410R and it's plastic front inner and front outer suspension braces. They are crap and tend to break the first time you put it on the track. Replace them with the - almost impossible to find in the US - aluminum parts and the car is near perfect. The rest of the hop-ups aren't really critical though the plastic rear skid plate tends to collect a lot of dirt so the brass weight replacement is a decent hop-up to pick up.
Wiring it is a bitch but you'll feel like a bad ass once you get if figured out.
And I'd recommend using an ESC with a heat sink or fan because this car runs hot. I'm using the LRP TC spec.
The Rango is my favorite car to drive - by far. And I have some nice cars.

i got them so that they feel smooth but they still make some noise. im just gonna run it slow for a pack or 2 to break in the gears.
