I'm new to all the electric thing, i was racing 1/8 nitro for 7 years. so maybe it's just me and my pursuit for perfection ...
Any thing I can do about thet sloop on the steering ?
P.s I think the problem came from the steering rack , but I'm not 100% sure Im right...

RPM dual stage pistons

I have been running my B44.1 with these for about a month. What a huge difference. The shocks are so much more responsive. I have decided to upgrade the shocks to some big bores though and I am wondering if I am going to see faster lap times with a big bore shock compared to the stock shocks with the dual stage pistons. What do you guys think? Anyone else use the dual stage pistons? What oils are you using?

I compared it to my Futaba BLS 451, and the Savox spline connector sticks out way further from the body of the servo. About 4mm more than the Futaba. Buyers beware.

Thanks for the warning. I love my Align DS620. Titanium gears and .07 response all for less than $60. Can't beat it.

I use the blues from the light/med. Currently running 35/30 weight oil. This is giving me the best results so far. Stock springs.

What do you guys use to clean the residual glue from chassis tape when you replace it without damaging the cf? ive been using soap and water but its not all coming off.

Grab some GooGone from Target or wherever... works great.
