1554 box stock, except for shock mounts, and inline electronics. Was 1608ish before that. I'm waiting on some new 14 gauge wire to redo mine and put the esc up front. It's really starting to feel like I own a kyosho lol.

I personally have only ran the stock plastics and setup and had a few rough tumbles due to high speed traction rolls coming off the straight into a table jump. The worst that has happened was a bent turnbuckle. I am still using the stock ones which are not very durable. Most guys switch over to the lunsford ones (still waiting for backorder).

But beside the turnbuckles you haven't experienced any big weaknesses?
Thx

I have one on preorder from Amain because it's cheaper than AE. I almost just want to order the kit. I feel like having the mid conversion kit is a good value but then if I want only the mid, I have a bunch of useless spare parts...

same.....kit or conversion. I can get the kit for about $150ish after hobby bucks. But then I need Ti turnbuckles and a few other things. Will need another viper esc also...the spending never stops, lol
