Hey all im a noob here lol. But anyway i have a few questions. I need to know when the new ellegi's come out and also it says that the rear diff can be easily taken out by taking the blocks off the top and it doesnt work as the driveshafts stop it!
Just want to know wat you guys think?

As for the rear diff, you are right that the driveshafts are in the way. I remember that after using a long nose to push one of the dogbones further out and twist the rear diff at about 1 or 2 hour angles will dislodge the dogbones from the outdrives.
Else, you could slide out the rear upper arm pivot pin so that the upper rear arm is disconnected from the buklhead. That should give you leverage to disconnect the dogbones from the outdrives.
Anyway, welcome aboard !

Don't get all those fancy option scare you........all servos are programmable, not just digiital, and I know my 3PK can do so many setting (most of them I don't even know what they are) but it is all about your RADIO, not the servo itself.
I always use the same brand servo matching the radio....for digital, use S9451...very good speed and torque.
If you want something lighter, I knew someone used the S9550 for both throttle and steering....they are like 25gram lighter then standard servo (cause they are shorter) but 83 oz/in @ 6V torque spec, I am not sure it is strong enough for steering......S9451 run .10 Sec/60 Degrees @ 6V and 121 oz/in @ 6V spec.

Else, you can actually only need to remove 2 of the upper screws that hold the rear shock tower. Those screws go directly into the upper block of the rear bulkhead. Taking out the upper blocks would then be a little tight with the rear backplate still attached.

Welcome MRME... thank you columbia for the information on the servos, I think I will use the ones I have for now, they are the bare minimum, I must first get back into the rc thing as i have been out for about 5-6 years... I will get others, but will wait. Thank you all, It is nearly the end of the month, I will place my order soon....!!!! Serpent, HERE WE COME. Can anyone tell me what updates are expected in a new kit, I know wheels sometime in april. Also, where would I be able to buy wheels in bulk on-line, also, cheaper than buying lots of sets of pairs. I am looking for Ellegi obviously, but I want to choose the shore, some of you will remember I found a place, but you could not select the shore.

Look what most pro's use
Novarossi. They built that pipe specially for the engine. Im sure they spent alot of R&D on that pipe to compliment it with their engine. The Shark is nice because the outlet pipe wont bent out of shape when someone hits you. With the Novarossi I dont find it a problem because all you have to do is pull it out with a plier and its back to normal. You asking for performance right? I recommend the Nova pipe but its up to you which ever you want. For me you cant go wrong with Nova because all pros use it
IMHO

Hey Cyba... Thank you, I was going for it, as I know the brand and it is obvious that novarossi will try to get the most, but I wanted another opinion, so thank you, my mind is made up. I have a dog just like the one in the picture, but he is all black and a cross, but he looks all rotti. Get this, his name is Bruce, he is still young and a bit clumsy, although he is a year already.
