Before trying to find that awesome setup from pro's set up sheets. Try the box stock setup only with different oils. They oil in the kit are different than the TLR branded oil. Who knows what their true weight is.

Buy blue loctite and use instead of the kit's thread lock. Use as directed in the manual.

Get a good quality servos. I use Savox with no issues.

No need to buy any hop ups. The kit is great with what's in the box. Minus servo horns. Get those in Aluminum.

Only thing I had an issue with was the holes on the A arms was a bit tight where they attach to the chassis. You may need to use a reamer to open them up a bit. You want your suspension to move freely.

Find Adam Drake's Youtube channel and watch his videos. Some good tips in there.
