I doubt very seriously that you could notice the difference in speed running 3° of toe versus 4°. It may lock the car in too much, but people like their cars to handle differently. The main thing is that you are comfortable with how your car handles for your driving style. That will result in the lowest lap times and the least amount of crashes.

Hi all,
What other servo horns are you running if not the std one? Bit difficult to find std ones right now!

Just picked up a 201, got a few hopups ordered for it, what is this cut t plate mod i keep reading about, i couldn't seem to find the original post about the mod? I am going to be running stock buggy with a novak club esc and a ballistic 17.5. My hopups i ordered are 3deg front and rear toe blocks, 1deg rear uprights to run flipped to give me 2 deg toe, the exotek +8mm kit 25deg caster blocks and a few other things i am forgetting. Anyone have any build tips, i got a 3mm tap after reviewing the manual?

i see now what the t plate mod is. How good are the kit bearings, should I just build it with the included ones, or should i just upgrade them right off the bat?

In terms of build tips, I think the big one is be careful when building the diff. The instruction calls for the diff to be flipped but its not apparent when looking at the picture.
Also for me, instead of ball studs i use ballnuts and screws. When ball studs snap, I have to toss the part its screwed into. If i use screws I can just unscrew and replace.

Added the 5* weighted bulkhead and XV-01 rear hubs for tonight's club race. The car was friggen awesome! I love this car so much more than my B4.1 WC. The last two weeks I've finished 3rd in the 17.5 class. Looking forward to better results in the coming months.

Don't matter too much to me.
