thanks, InitialD. It turnes out that the servo saver I had was messing with my steering ackerman. I put a new serpent servo saver on and my handling easily increased.
BTW...I have seen other dealers lower the price on the 950 just to clear the way for an updated version. The new version will include the lightweight clutch bell and other minor things that I forget.
Also BTW...If any of you have trouble getting serpent parts,
call 1-866-NITRORC (toll free). Very good prices, availability, and prompt shipping. He has a pretty decent selection of tires, serpent/mugen/ae parts, engines, and sometimes carries kits. Also at gasrccar.com
