I have no pins falling out either, that's impossible..
I just am saying, the ring should be rotated in his groove
till the pin can be seen and removed that way, without removing the ring

Let me re-phrase what I said earlier. As more kits came in to the country, they began to roll in with no collars on the tanks, and the missing 8X14 bearings. There not upgrades, REVISED is a better word. I own 3 kits, that's how I know about the rolling changes. Either way they work fine for me. Cant say I have ever seen any tank leak or crack..... Thats a first....
I also agree with Schreff, the car is Dialed!!! I just can't figure out what he is stuffing into his face, in his Avatar.....

yes the Kit is Dialed!!!1 For me or anyone who is or has a Onroad Backround. This buggy has plenty of Bite!! And like Chad said, small pin tires are key!! I went a diff route and had too much body roll!!
I just feel the Rear is a little loose. I dont want to start playing with everythinig and adjusting everything just yet. I like to start small and work my way around a kit so I get familarized with how it works and what does what when I change things around...
Also using other peoples Setups are not always key to certain drivers. You may drive easy and he may drive hard. I just take a look at what the drivers change and replace, and see each Setup. Then I get an understanding of what or why he/she is doing what!!
Overall after 2 weekends racing with this Kit, I am in Love!!! Very happy I sold off my Losi for this!!! Built quality, Proven racer, and overall very sexy!!!

The bearings would not be the issue. The sway bar actually has 2 guides that set screw lock down and fit into the bearings. This way it doesn't matter what size bar for the bearings, but going above maybe a 2.6mm bar might have issues with the guides that bolt onto the bars. I wouldn't see a need for more than than anyway. If you download the manual from the Serpent site, you'll see what I'm talking about. It's like a flanged collar that bolts onto the bar.

tiger - if you have toasted 4 servo's. then obviously something is really wrong. Either something is bound up, not set right, moving, twisting, something... Im pretty sure the northeast is a little hotter than Norway. I race in 95 degree weather with 60-70% humidity.. I haven't blown any servos up (9157 futaba) and my buddy who uses (Hi-tec) hasnt blown any up. I do know people who use airtronics has had issues but i wont comment on Airtronics 
I will say make sure you use the spacers for the tray. My servo looks like 1/8" off the chassis with the spacers.
