And not have a bit more room to work with. Now onto finishing the build.
I think i will convert it to the longer damper version pretty soon, already ordering the parts. So will need to come apart again at some point but hey

Is it worth getting an XV-01 Pro or long travel kit over the standard kit? Pretty tempted by the long travel kit since I can also choose my own body.

I would say Long travel over the Pro. If you do buy the Pro make sure it is the Rally and not the TC (unless you want the TC suspension).

Thanks for the input! I just backordered a Long Damper spec XV-01 on tower. Gives me some time to decide what kind of body to get.

I just bought the XV-01 with the Impreza WRX Sti body. I'm not expecting to do lots (if any) jumps with it. Would you recommend installing the long dampers?
Also, would anyone recommend a cheap but good ESC? Everything I see being sold says "crawler" in it

I put a HW 1060 and a reedy 17t Radon motor in mine. It's pretty dang quick with that combo. (and cheap enough also)
On the subject of long damper, mine is the long version but I have not driven one without them. A friend of mine has one that is short shocks somaybe I can try his sometime to compare. I've took mine over some bicycle/skateboard ramps that were about 16 inches high and a couple feet apart and landed pretty smooth. However, these cars are definitely not made for jumping. Pretty fun on a home-made rally type track in the back yard.

The only issue is Tower isn't expecting the XV-01 LDS to come in till late July... I'm hoping I can be patient enough and not cancel and buy something else.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Seems I'll be buying a HW1060

Have any of you have problems with the ESC overheating?
