Thanks for the compliments guys!!!

Shinner-on the throttle servos, I think I set it up right. I used a completely different spring (softer and spaced out more so it doesn't bind as quickly) and set up my epa's so the throttle servo doesn't even move when I'm at full throttle/brake. Hopefully it'll last.

Dan-On the body, I'm getting a gravy graffix job done up, he's not in town right now but said he'd do it tomorrow probably when he gets back. (thanks again slim)

I'll see if I can go to practice tomorrow. Will LH bitch alot at me since I don't have a body?


After an hour, I got my chrome top setup on this buggy. It was a real PITA, but now it works.

Yeah my diffs are doing that too. They need breaking in. for your first few tanks just do nice and easy figure 8's in front of your house, they should loosen up.
