Default 1/16 Summit Fully Hopped Up With Castle Big Block

What I have here is a VERY nice, clean Traxxas 1/16 VXL Summit
Truck is in fanstic shape from body to chassis and everything in between.

Comes RTR With HPI 2.4 rx/tx

Last night I finally hooked up the rx/tx for the first time in MONTHS. Not sure what is up with the esc or rx/tx but the throttle is very 'jerky'. Truck runs fine on a stand, motor is strong, both servos work. But on the ground the truck is not smooth for whatever reason. Dont feel like messing with it and im sure its something simple like a Castle update or setting.

Heres the deal:

First best offer above $250 TODAY (3/23) gets it

Mods and hop ups include:
RPM A-Arms all around
RPM hubs
Wheel wideners
Traxxas CVD axles in REAR ONLY - front kept popping out, so i replaced them with stock axles.
Traxxas Aluminum Toe Links
Traxxas Aluminum Push Rods

Black Vacuum wheels

Proline Masher 2000 tires

Tenbol Mount

Castle 3800kv motor

Castle sidewinder esc with added fan

heavy duty springs

dual stock servos

1 - Duratrax 1600mah 2s with one cycle
