Fitenfyr, Hello You responded to my post on the EDC-2's, thanks. What I have done was delete the blue wire and the yellow ground and use a NiCd starter. IMO is, I think they reduced the voltage to much in the starter "box". I have had a whole lot better response with the NiCd starter especially when the truck is cold. My opinion is I would not use aluminum body posts. Aluminum body mount plates fine. I would prefer to break body posts all day long before I start breaking shock towers. I went all out and got the SM stage III Suspension with Dynamite bulkheads and various aluminum bumpers and mounts which I gave my son all the stock parts (A-Arms, Knuckles and Bearings, Shock towers, Bumper Mts, Bulkheads and all assc. hardware) so he can crash all he wants to. I encourage him to work on it himself so I don't have to worry about stripped out screws since we have a bunch of them now. Sort of like killing 2 birds with one stone. LOL.
