tighten that servo saver down alot more than you had for the buggy, otherwise you'll be missing steering. Also, if you havent changed the front lower arms and knuckles to the new style you might wanna do that. They add quite a bit more steering which this thing lacks in comparison to the HB. Other than steering issues, its a great truggy.
One more thing, you might wanna try out the white springs all around

I had a problem with my brake linkage at first. i guess cause it was new, but i like it alot and it kick butt , and i jsut blow pass all the hotbodies. I have jsut installed a OS vsepc..and that things flys!!!!
