Best thing you can do to avoid breaking arms is to not hit the wall/pipes/other cars.

It also will keep your front shock shaft consumption to a minimum.:nod:

All I have left on my new .1 is the shocks. Just finished the camber links and thought I would share one of my tricks to make it easier to build and repair in a pinch.

The shock cap is more than just a shock cap wrench. Its a ball cup wrench. It makes turnbuckles a no brainer.....

Thanx. Its my sworn duty to help all the B44.1 AE drivers out best I can....:cool:

If you have an extra cap tool you can cut the wrench end off and it makes changing a ball cup while its on the kit much faster and easier.

Looking forward to one of these. And the ESC upgrade.

Those x20s look sweet. Wonder how much the upgrade board is going to be. Ive been through 4 SXXs in the last 6 months, so hopefully it will fix some issues. Lovin my orion in my 2wd. Still got a TC spec in my wheeler though.

I think he said it will be released next month. And the upgraded ESC I probably wont do just yet. I'm having great luck with Stock Spec.

I heard the comps had some BEC isssues. I went with the Stock spec just in case we had another stock shoot out. Turns out it works great for Mod 4x4. I'm thinking of bumping my motor to the 5.5. We will see what kind of torture it can take before I replace it. It supposed to handle a 4.0. But I don't think our track is quite that fast.
