I got mine broke in. I ran 5 tanks so far. temps stayed around 190 during break-in. I did check everything and noticed all of my servo screws came loose maybe that's why the servos fry easy, and before I ran it I tightened everything up they just came loose from the break in. I hope king headz has a radio tray. Also the speed sensor would not work after the car got about 15 ft away and I the reading was off also, I will have to figure that out. Overall I'm happy with the buggy. I have the re11 pipe and turbo button head coming, I'm looking forward to racing it.

the New RTR should come with the updated brakes and 1.0 saver set-up which is what you want....I would also get the alum top for the saver and for Pro parts you pretty much listed it all minus the front spindle pins and Standard diff cases...Im 90% sure the RTR comes with the HD diff's....so unless your trying to loose some serious weight you could either leave them in or replace them with Losa3500's which aren't as durable but are significantly lighter.

Lower shock cartridge is also different, on the RR they are aluminum.

I have a brand new set of shock off a race roller from ebay the chassis, shock towers, and a full set of diffs, the can put the heavy duty different in the electric 2.0 I got. I do need to get the rear different holders. What pins do I need?? Spindle pins??

they aren't needed...but are nice to have.

I would test the stock stuff first and go from there....the upgraded spindles aren't cheap....Im still running the stock stuff with great results.

Definitely put the HD's in the E buggy and the 3500's in the gas bug

With the 1.0 servo saver, how tight is everybody tightening them? At 5 1/2 turns out I can still turn the blue knob very easily.

Ok i'm having problems with the the heat sensor it just high stays at 170 like it should reaching the maximum running temp but the low temp stays the same, The speed meter is not accurate and cuts out after 15 ft. I'm starting to think there is a problem with the reciever.

no problem with the receiver. telemetry system sucks.

I use to love my dx3r but after using the ko eurus radio for a several months now using a dx3r seems like a huge step backwards. I used one the other day and I couldn't believe the difference in feel and response.
