Had it all on the track for a few laps. It's nice and light. The tires grip nice on gray carpet. The 13.5 seems a little lacking but I was able to clear most of the jumps. The weak spot is the steering rack and links. I swapped out the 4.8 balls for AE 5.5 balls and cups but still was having ball pops. I'm going to try some captured joints from Traxxas and put a high torque servo saver to give a little bit. But I'm committed to get this to work. Stock turnbuckles are 30mm so I've got to look for something close.
After that I'm a little concerned about the rack and crank arms. They're going to be a little harder to upgrade.



If I could find an aluminum rack about 50mm centers
