Any screws threaded into aluminum should have threadlock on them. The long screws that hold the sides of the transmission together and thread into the motor plate should definitely have thread lock and shouldn't be tightened too far or the transmission will bind. You will be able to feel the binding if its present on your car while tightening and loosening the screws. Also the screws on the bottom side of the steering rack shouldn't be too tight either. The bell cranks should flop back and forth loose. If you have a metal geared servo you can glue the steering rack. The larger of the two bell cranks is the servo saver. When you pull the bell crank apart, there is a nut on top with the bearing in it. This nut compresses a spring that holds the two halves of the bellcrank together until force is applied (impact with a marshals hip, for example 
). Take it all apart and put some CA on the contact points between the two halves so they can't rotate against each other. Reassemble it with the nut, washer and spring. It definitely makes the buggy and especially the trucks feel more direct when cornering. Hope this helps.

The other night I noticed someone with a stock t4.1 that had soldered two small capacitors (at least that's what they looked like) just in front of the ESC on the battery wires. I've never seen this before and am wondering what the advantage is? Capacitors are dirt cheap and if it helps I'd be willing to purchase those immediately.

Fellow drivers,
I created a quick html doc for my kinetic setup as the one that Novak was not the easiest for me to use. Also, I'm working on a spring chart that people can just d/l to their phone or whatever easily. They're both listed here: http://b6pilots.com/OR/ I keep the Kinetic file on my phone for quick reference and plan to do the same for the springs. If you guys would like to see anything added, just let me know and provide the numbers if you can. Thanks

I don't really know exact details or the technicals about these springs, just trying my best to inform how the Losi BB springs perform and feel ..
Skengines
Use Losi BB spring cups , recommend silver ft & Pink rear.
Aniznik
I don't have access to a chart that includes the new Losi BB spring ..
Maybe some one could be nice & post if they know of a chart ....

Obviously the springs are different, but the coding is exactly the same, color-to-rate for front and rear.
