Only thing I can think of you may need to throw on is LINK "CVD Condoms". Guess some guys have problems with the pin flying out. Never happened to me as I put the condoms on during intial build. (could use some thick heat shrink or something too) also some have snapped the rear hinge pins as a fix ~ drill out and install LINK I have the kit but never installed it as nothings broken.. Ill take some more pics and vids of mine when my MMM gets back from CC emergency room..
Cheers for the advice jayjay I have just ordered the condoms and hinge pins from AMain, should get to me in about 10 days. I will put the condoms on straight away but will do as you have done and will put the hinge pins in my kit until needed. One day I will go to the alloy rear 2.0 carriers once our dollar gets better.

Funny thing with that body, as soon as I placed feedback I had an eBay member tell me to search RCBodz on google and check out how he ripped people off and had real bad service (no replying to emails and stuff). I checked it out and sure enough there has been some bad reports, but all I can say is he answered all my emails and questions before and after the deal. He gave me free shipping and kept me in the loop when he shipped the package. I can't complain at all, the only thing I can really say is.......I love the body

I look forward to seeing some pics and vids once yours is back up and running

Though I ran for about 6 minutes of wheelies and the components were not warm too the touch at all. I have a 45 tooth spur coming with the shock repair part since I am only on 4s too gain a bit more speed. I may also go too a 15t pinion.
I had a blast around yesterday with the 4s that arrived, ran for about 15mins and the Motor got to 110, the ESC 120 and the Lipo managed 90, 4s runs great in this truggy that is for sure. That was with the 45t Spur and 14t pinion. I am really happy with those results and the performance was still impressive and like you I can go to the 15t if I need a little more speed. With 5s it is a beast, I couldn't imagine going to 6s, that would just be STUPID fast and pretty well much uncontrollable


I like it.......I LIKE IT ALOT!!!!!!
