Im gonna be running 3s and read somewhere that the stock pinion sucks? Is it necessary to upgrade to the 19t pinion without overheating? Also the one I got comes with Integy shocks which look cool but im worried theyre trash since for every other car they seem to bend and leak. Does anyone have any experience with them? Other then that I plan to get the integy aluminum kit, along with offroad tires and tbone skid plates.
