Hi mate,

I run the 201 over here in the uk, it's very solid, haven't broken a single part in probably a dozen meetings now. Spares wise, arms/bulkheads/towers would be useful just in case, hopups maybe rear hubs and spring sets. I use the 4wd yellow front springs, and yellow rear springs!

Oh, and I'd get better ballstuds, tamiya 5x8mm hard hex head work well!

i will check out the rudebits pieces, and see what i can get hold of (i know and race with trish so it shouldn't be a problem), i will see what works and try and get the best compromise. any advice as too gearing, i am running a 6.5 brushless with a gm 90 speedo. its indoor on carpet, relatively short track with some big jumps. so acceleration is the key. as well as decent corner handling but able too take a heavy landing. i know i'm asking for it all, but i am sorting starting from a blank sheet as i dont really have a starting point or even stock settings for the trf, i have just downloaded the instructions, but now have too strip the car down too see what is stock and what isn't. but at least i will get a chance too check the condition of all the bearings and see the fit of all the arms and hubs etc.
anyway thanks for the advice i will see who does trf bits in the uk and see what i can get hold of.
