For those that have built your car already, which lipo receiver pack did you go with? I'm thinking maybe LRP or SMC. Thanks guys...

I used the LRP. Only issue I have is how long the wires are on the pack. Pretty minor problem fits perfect.

looking over the setups... Looks like they were searching for more droop? "droop screw pocket recessed" plus shock eyelets unscrewed 2mm ... curious about this.. did they dremel the chassis? if so how much.. looking for a pic..

is the short chassis brace for more flex? are they using this part front and rear? guess this goes in hand with the medium traction they had..
I could not locate this part..

The rear short chassis support is not available yet. It was used in the rear.to created more grip by flex. No grinding on the chassis was done, just in the droop pockets on the arms.

Default 8.3 from M2C Racing view point

got my new kit in Thursday. I must say that it is better though out
than the previous models.
What I see for upgrades:
Brass pillar ball retainers to add weight for more turn in.
Rear center weight kit to add traction for rear end.
3 pc quick change motor mount.
Steel inserted throttle and steering horns
Radio tray battery retainer bracket
aluminum top plate.
chassis with replacable skid plates:
shock pistons (will come as we investigate what will work best for this
particular vehicle.
These are the first item I will be working on
We should be receiving some feed back after this week end from you
guy as to what we like and don't like about the car.
lmk know what you guys think.
