Thanks Tim and Chris,
I think I'll just keep it! To much hassle from all the Kyosho Pros on here. The Buggy is a ROCK and I think I'll just use it for Nitro. I am converting my other stuff to electric. Just because and SP2 has a 7.5 tower doesnt make it a 7.5. Oh well. Thanks again for posting that for me. -Brad
