The TOP Sabre mini is loud. I can not get the noise to lessen. I did ake my own lexan over for the side gear and the front, to prevent little stones from destroying the gears though.
I used the supplied springs and set my ride height 5.2 mm front and 5.6mm rear, 1.5 degree front camber and 2 degree rear. 350 or 400 oil and 3hole pistons. I use a short pack lipo and added the alloy steering hopup. I also fitted the TOP racing oil gear diff with 300k oil.
Car is very easy to drive quickly and tracks very straight. I also pur hased the front alloy knuckles, but they are still in my pit box. I fitted sweep 40 front and sweep 25 rear. I also added lead to the chassis to get the car to have more front bite.
I also have the TOP Sabre 4wd car, just not completed or run yet.
Regards
Calvin
