Hey guys,

Trying to get the little one (6) setup with my old b4 ft. I've got a 17.5 tekin system in it but I am having trouble finding a cheap (under 35) servo that is decent for him. Any help would be appreciated.

They are set up so you can drill your desired hole size and pattern.

Moorehead68 he told me tapered but said cav runs the regular ae pistons. He says he like tapered because he feels it soaks up the smaller multiple bumps better

I think the best cost wise will be a Savöx 0254. It should be perfect for him, and your wallet.

I just picked up all the parts for the BB conversion and had a question. Are guys using the Losi shock ends too, or just the Losi spring cups with the AE shock ends? I have not even opened the bags or looked closely at anything, but as soon as I finish off this pizza I'm gonna tear into it. Thanks

Use the AE shock ends. If you get the GHEA collars (which are sexy btw) you have to shim your front shocks away from the tower a little (like .050ish) just so you don't rub.
