i am certain that later chassis were corrected.

I brought the car 10/09 so do i need a futaba servo for is to work with out drilling

Hats off to you Gearhead. Your car was phenomenal last night. The cards have fallen into your direction and you had plenty of power and corner handling. Your working on out qualifying me I know you are.. I say 40 laps next weekend, no sweat!

I can not wait to see your combination of power and driving ability when you lay your soon to be S120L, you got me worried! You still have me thinking about one.. I'm tempted still!

Is there a new or updated rear pod bulkheads? I noticed that with a 64p 72t spur gear, I an only go up to a 58t 64p pinion. And if so, what are the part numbers? A friend of mine told me that their is a new one, just want to make sure.
