Figured out the problem with my hitec servo wiggin out. My ae one was doing it also after replacing the gears. I had the response time or whatever it is called on the radio to fast for the servo. Had to put it as slow as it would go and now it's all good. Truck is sweet, can't wait to go run some laps with it next week.

Nice looking

But! Just one suggestion.... I don't know how well those thin turnbuckles hold up for you, but I have broken them on numerous occasions. I put the super-thick 1/10 size ones on and it took all the strength I had just to pop the ball cups off. BEEFY

+1 on the turn buckles. Check these out.

I have these on my 18T. They work great.

Yep that's the set. Also, the ball cups come with a hole pre-drilled so you don't ever have to "pop" it off of the ball stud and weaken it. You can just unscrew the ball stud itself

Anybody know where I can buy just the plastic top for 3racing shocks? The top that snaps onto the ballstud broke off today and I need a new one quickly, hopefully without buying a full set of shocks... If that's the case I'll have 3/4 of a set of shocks for sale. lol

You'll put in maybe 200mAh after a 5 minute heat... Give or take, depending on your track layout and size...

You will need to rotate the motor until the shaft is centered and the holes line up. It'll work, trust me.
