Hello there! I have a few questions I hope you can all answer for me as I've been out of the hobby for 15 years now.

I've ordered up a T4.1 Brushless to start racing 2wd ST at my local indoor track, Basher's in Palm Beach Gardens, FL.

Since this is being done on a budget, I still haven't ordered the charger or batteries and it will be a minimum of 2 weeks before I do. In the interim, I would like to take the time to set up my T4.1 as best as possible WITHOUT spending money, or very very little. I know there are somethings I can do right away that will help and don't involve huge dollar investments.

First, is it advisable to back out all of the screws and use blue thread lock on them?

Is there anything specific that needs to be rebuilt or shimmed out of the box? I'll be checking the gear mesh on the motor, but is there anything else I should be looking for?

Should I glue up the servo saver, and if so, where exactly to I glue?

The other night I noticed someone with a stock t4.1 that had soldered two small capacitors (at least that's what they looked like) just in front of the ESC on the battery wires. I've never seen this before and am wondering what the advantage is? Capacitors are dirt cheap and if it helps I'd be willing to purchase those immediately.

Any help you all can give me is much appreciated, I've been reading this thread for days and the forum, but can't seem to find the answers to those questions. Thanks a bunch.

Mike
