I hope yours was a fluke Gregg. As for specs, the Savox I'm using is 0.08 sec/60 degrees and 166 oz*in of torque @ 6V. It's a bit noisy, but that's not too big of a deal to me, although it can be rather annoying when adjusting the alignment on a setup station.
Also Gregg, I noticed that Integy has aluminum caster blocks for the RC8 as well. Not sure if that's really necessary, but it would be nice if someone could come up with a caster block to take all the play out of the steering knuckles. The steering rack is so well made and slop-free, that it's a shame the steering blocks knuckles have so much play in the caster blocks.
BTW, I put a few 4mm shims on the front upper A-arm pins and a few 3mm shims on the rear outer hinge pins and was able to remove all the play from those areas.
agarabaghi, take your time and implement many of the suggestions in this thread and you'll be set.
I was able to mount my new body last night. I'll post pics when I get home from work.
