I imagine it isn't good to shave these graphite plates in the interest of maintaining their integrity? Never had to mess with them before.
i use the same servo horn.. and had to shave the carbon plate for my truck as well..

Truck is tough... But like others. On bad wrecks. They can break. Is all I'm saying.

True, it should be mint anyways!

If the truggy is as good as the buggy, all is definitely well!

just FYI.. here is what alot of you guys have been asking about.. part number is 350906.

Its a full front conversion, comes with everything you need. one part number does the whole front end.




think they are already on their way. should be available in the next couple weeks as i understand it

Already in stock in the us I think. My dealer just ordered them today. They are supposed to increase steering.

The team guys who already run them are saying a massive increase in steering.. I'm hoping to get them dialed in quickly
