Yah the spring is still weak...also on my buggy and woodys buggies today I noticed that the steering doesn't center very well even though the servo is...I figured its probably the two plastic saver halves sticking together or riding on a flat spot....which is no good...I turn to the left and it sticks to the left a bit...and same when I turn back to the right...I have my endpoints set correctly also...I would love to see someone make the upper half of the saver out of aluminum...
Other than that the buggy was awesome...puts my rc8.2 to shame IMO...also today was around 55 degrees and neither buggy broke an arm and we have a nice track with big jumps...right now there's a jump that shoots you up 12 feet and out 30-40.
Edit: I stripped the factory servo horn really easily also so I definitely
recommend an
aftermarket part here like the hot bodies one that everybody seems to be running

I've been running them for years now with zero issues. A few of my buddies all run them too with the same results. I can run with any buggy on the track with my el cheapie turnigy....

To be fair though it was on the quad, and I didn't hit at the perfect angle that tends to break arms. Already ordered the new ones. I'm not sure what is going on with why our servos wont center. Torque shouldn't be it, I'm running the 7955 servo. I will have to take a closer look when I start cleaning and waiting for my arms to show up.

Just wanna throw a shout out to Geoff Arnold for hooking me up at motorama with some parts for my EB48. I only got it two weeks before the race and was short on some spares. Without his help I wouldn't have been able to race the mains and make the bump. Thanks Geoff! 
the EB is an awesome car, I've been running the 8 for several years and out of the box the car bumped up my laps a full lap right on the initial run, and I hit my best overall lap times I've ever seen a my local hangout South Jersey RC.
