I see there is a pic of the from Bars.
The 91124 rear swaybar set is listed on the site, just no pic yet. Look under FT Parts and Accessories.

I like the 540 motor in mine. I have posted this before but at the recent Northwest SC Nationals 1st and 2nd place ran 540 motors. (me being second ). We both were running 5.5 motors. I dont feel under powered at all. I actually had to dial my end piont back to keep the front tires on the ground.

Same thing happened to me, (the binding) I think what it is is the front of the belt, you know around the clicker, is either twisting or hopping up on the outer rail and binding up on the plastic cover. How often is the belt supposed to be changed?

I built the truck with a fan installed. I needed weight on the electronics side to off-set battery weight so why not add a fan. Just from comments on here I thought it would be a good idea to have one on the motor. I was a little worried about speed control and motor temps but they are not really an issue with a fan. I run 10 min practice heats without issue. Granted I am not running full out crazy for that time but my set-up is working for me.

Just like a real car. The last time before you drove it and it broke.

If you use green slime on the gasket and dont over/under tighten the screws, there should be no issue.

Not sure on the software version, it is updated as of May 15th so probably the latest version? Pretty much stock settings except for the timing is set to 30*, no punch control, no throttle profile changes, no drag brake, reverse is turned off, 50% brake power (probably should be turned up a bit) Im running the Airtronics MX3X radio, 92744 rx, and XP ds1015 servo. Temps after a 8min main on a high bite track with 16/62 gearing were 130 on the motor and 135 on the esc.
