when the ball is moving a Good amount back and forth..its Time to replace.....You can easily cut the ball out or press it out...if you cut it out be careful not to gall the ball itself with side cutters.

So what's the hot setup, shocks wise? I like how it is handling with Drake's standard setup, but i want to try the foam. What oil, and drilled or not? Anyone have a link to the foam?

I tore up more parts on the truck this weekend than I have in the time I've owned it. Rough weekend parts wise.

Ok here goes...

-Throttle linkage
-Entire clutch setup(flywheel, shoes, bell, bearings, screw/shims)
-Spur gear
-Fuel tank(x2)
-Steering servo horn(aluminum)

Now a little explanation...

The throttle linkage came from getting T-boned by a buggy in practice. Turned the throttle linkage rod into a pretzel.

The clutch, Spur and one fuel tank came from the CB screw coming out. First time I've had that happen, but I must say it was amusing seeing a trail of sparks when it happened.

Second fuel tank was due to the first one having a leak right out of the bag.

Servo horn got tweaked somehow and started to crack through.

Add to it the rubber hungry track surface and you've got one unexpectedly expensive RC weekend.

was this at the state fair race? it was sweet. i lost a rear pinion bearing in the pro b main as a was winnning it and it dropped a drive shaft.

Yes 5x107 are the ones in the front they work fine with the v2 tower. 5x105 will work too.

For the V2 tower use the outer lower hole in the tower and the "B" hole in the hub.

For the V1 tower use the lower hole in the tower and the "A" hole in the hub.

A while ago you said you ran panther tires. Which one of thems seem to do well on a tacky clay surface? I've been wanting to try their tires just not sure which ones to get.
Thanks
