Last night I got the MMM put in, swaped the springs and shock oil, silly puttied the CD, found out the kyosho diff needs .5 mm more clearance in the mounts (I'll work on this later). It drives MUCH better!

I still need to change the front and rear diff fluids, according to the setup sheet that came with the buggy it has 5k front and 2k rear. I want to put 7k front and 5k rear.

I also need to move the battery tray just a bit further forward, and find some rx box to squeeze in behind it, clean up the wires and paint the new body! I'll take more pictures when I get the rx box figured out :)

edit: I brought it to work today, I just came in from a run outside. it wheelies on surfaces with traction. none in the dirt or grass, but on coarse asphalt it pulls the front end right up if I peg it hard. anything less than just pegging it and it digs in and accelerates like a rocket.
