I am glad it all worked out for you! Next weekend you will be able to play a lot more. Go to a park where you can open her up and make your adj like brakes, punch control and stuff and learn what does what. Just remember adj for grass and open space will be different for a dirt track. For now just familiarize yourself with your equipment and the car so in the spring you can just concentrate on setups and lots of practice.
What we should do before racing starts is to meet up a few weekends and go threw your setups. Plus with running this winter you will see what breaks or wears out so you know what extra parts you will need. I don't know if you have one yet but get a temp gun! In the winter you will be good but in the spring and summer you will want to keep tabs on motor temp.

The temp gun is at the top of my list. I want to measure the motor temperature after we change the settings each time. I'm going to order the temp gun, suspension tools and maybe some tires soon. Lastly I'll grab the Spektrum DX3E when it's released.

The car is plenty fast on pavement and off-road with a 4S. 6S may be overkill / overweight.
The 6500mah is giving me some serious runtime too.

Thinking about using the RC Monster D8 mount instead.

GeorgeRC, what tires do you recommend to start with? I want to buy two more sets of tires. This way I have the stock Vorza tires for bashing or wet tracks then I need two more for other conditions.
I was looking at these tires which come pre-mounted with inserts and medium compound:
AKA City Block Medium Buggy Tires
Pro-line Caliber M2 Buggy Tires

Use the Elite mount its the best. As far as parts for breakage, for racing you need nothing just keep some rear hubs front hubs and spindles just incase. They make aluminum ones but thats up to you, I do suggest some ACE shock towers also thats about it, the arms I have never broke and I have 2 D8's 1 nitro 1 E and a Ve8. Maybe a wingmount to they sometimes take a beating but you wont ever have to replace the whole thing just a part usually.

You may want to email him first before you buy one of these! I bought one of the first ones he produced and had to return it because the screw holes on the mount did not line up with the motor (Neu/Castle motors) If he has corrected this the mount would be the best on the market in it's style.

Guys please post your findings on this motor mount, I may be enticed to buy one and try it out as well.
We can be the guinea pigs to test this mount for the Vorza's Neu/Castle 2200 Tork Motor.
