    What motor are you running? brushless?

    I've currently got a 1/10 fiat 500 2wd for messing about with, a 2008 impreza on a tamiya tt-01E chassis with minor upgrades (bearings and rods atm) and a CEN racing MG16 nitro 4wd truggy...though the idle is a bit out atm and one rear wheel just isn't sitting right...looks like the whole arms setup needs replacing

    I sold all mine as with the nitro one it always needed resetting with the engine and I spent more time trying to get it to run properly than I did using it

    running a novak 10.5 ballistic brushless on a lrp spx turbo speed controller. iv had nitros, and tbh while there good fun when there working there a nightmare when they aint. 90% of the time the electric ones work.
    The car i run is a schumacher mi4lp with upgraded front spool and driveShafts and twIn post belcrank steering instead of the standard single post. Its had a bit of Money spent on it to say the least
