Update on the defective chassis.

Called Associated and while on the phone I sent them the pics. Once they saw the chassis they said they will overnight a new chassis. Good customer service indeed.

I knew they would hook you up. Like I was saying, it's a good kit and a good company.

That's what I was gonna ask. Unless it's neutral adjustments. Mine was so bad I though there was something wrong with my 4Pk. It ended up being my trimming screws on the radio. They were too tight on the throttle and it wouldnt settle into neutral.

Default Lipo and plugs

Hi
this is my first kit car. What Lipo (brand) do you recommend. I'm thinking 5000 mah or 6500 mah, 11.1 v and deans plugs. I dont want to break the bank but no cheap stuff either. Also is their a good charger that you can recommend.

thanks
Peter

14.8v (4S) is the standard in these buggies. And Gens Ace for $66 hard case is nice from Hobby Partz. And also any of the zippy or blue
Lipo 143mm long by 53mm wide.

Charger. Best recommendations are Hyperion or iCharger. There are a few others. But these are among the best.
