I don't really use them for the tires unless I run my tires out of the box (64mm) less prong to chucking.
so new tyres break easily without them?
bc i havent noticed lower tyres chuncked as much.
one thing that bothers me is that everytime I hit something I bend my front rims.... =(

When your front end is all messed up, and you're still able to turn.
When your car is toast, but your servos still work.
Would you notice a .05 second difference in servo speed?
Probably not, that's why I'd take the extra 69 oz of torque.

Yea, those stickers are for a reason…………..
They are supposed to be placed on the sidewall of the tires for helping in chunking the tire. When the tire is new out of the box it’s 64mm or more and has a large sidewall that is prone to chunk. When you true or cut your tire down to a smaller size it dosnt have the large sidewall that makes it less prone to chunking. Also keeping the car off the walls will help in chunking tires!

I got to run my Mazda6 for the first time last weekend and was very impressed how well balance the car felt. Its between a 2.1 Stratus and an Alfa Losi. Has good front-end downforce like the Alfa but without the agressive feeling (smother). Also I heard that Protoform just lost the rights to make the Stratus bodies so this Mazda6 is a very good replacement!!
Here is my Mazda6............

Yup, that was what I observed after running a friend's Mazda 6 on a 710 for a few laps. Pretty neutral body I would say.

.05 seconds difference in speed is HUGE as far as I am concerned. I run the KO2143 on everything.
I am surprised that you cannot tell the difference, because I could even tell the difference when changing from the futaba 9402 (.11) to the KO2143 (.08).

Keep in mind, I never said I compared them in the car.
I was comparing the 2 servos on paper.
Just seeing the differences in specs, I went with the 2344, because I felt that I wouldn't notice a .05 second difference, but I like having the extra torque.
Maybe it was such a huge difference because you are comparing a standard servo (9402) to a digital (2343)

Since everyone is either running a Stratus or a Mazda 6, I want to run something different, but with similar performance.

I like the Volvo, because it's sort of a joke with my uncle and cousins because they have this real old Volvo that just won't die.
I just want to know if the Serpent Volvo body handles the similar to a Stratus or Mazda 6 body.
