I TOTALLY AGREE with all that's been said about the Reflex! IT"s Fast, Fun and takes A Lot of punishment!
Grab some Fast Eddy's Bearings, some good Hex drivers, along with the shock oil and Diff fluid listed above gets you a good handling rig! I use a thin layer of Black RTV to seal the diffs since there is no gasket, and it will hold the diff fluid well.
Also a Hobbywing WP-16BL30 ESC is a HUGE UPGRADE! The best $25 I spent!!!
I run on my smooth Concrete driveway, and get the best traction with Contact 1/10 scale on-road foam tires! The wheel hexs are actually 1mm too deep and will rub the hub carriers. To solve I took some 1mm Lexan and cut out some hex "washers" to correct the spacing! I run a couple of different 1/10 on-road radials on the smooth asphalt street in front of the house.
HAVE A BLAST!!!

The ESC made a huge improvement in getting the Reflex to shine! Glad I could help and pass on the helpful info the Guys here taught me! I'm ready for nice weather so I can get my Reflex out and shred some foam tires!!!

I actually took a dremel and shaved the excess off the inside of the wheel so it would fit on the hex flush. It needs to be a decent job, but it doesn't have to be perfect, because the hex of the car will make it even and not wobble.

found some nice carbon spacer/shims from avid rc but they are a little more spendy than just getting some washers at the hardware store..
also found that the lighting kit from Murat RC for the mini 8ight fits the 14b nearly perfectly.
