I'll have a date for all on Friday so don't get rid of your s120 t-bar cars just yet!

Thanks.
Also has anyone thought of converting the current car to a link car? The key is the position of the lipo cell in relation to the rear axel. This would define how much space you would have to fit the swivel link to the existing hole.

The section that deals with damper tubes applies to the lower shock.
Each has their +'s and -", imo its more of a feel thing. I've tried some link cars and just never could get comfortable with them, I started with t-bars and those just feel right for me.

Ouch!
The Serpent metal is very hard but that can make for a brittle piece. I have not broken any parts yet except for two of the hardened optional diff rings. Those will shatter like glass they are so brittle!!!
Until you get a replacement slider, you can just put longer 3mm set screws through the aluminum slider and use those to set the T bar tweak. I sometimes do not use my blades. As for the shock shaft, not much you can do there except get another.

Alright i got a couple of Nub questions for everyone.
My servo is no perfectly straight with the center line of the car, no matter how I try to mount it. (its a JR servo)
Does it matter which side the servo lays, on the right or the left side
I plan to run it here locally in Socal at west coast rc does anyone have set-up for that track to share
