Or had an issue with stiction? Smooth as butter.
Have you ever run Proline Power stroke shocks? I've had the V2 shocks... not impressive.. If the Proline's weren't an option, I'd either replace the V2's w/ the Kyosho RT5 shocks or even the Traxxas Big Bore shocks... either way, the AE shocks would be replaced... You're right about Kyosho's shafts though... they are killer but gold would look better
