    Status: offline     		I'd go for the Losi turnbuckles and ball ends - I've been using them for over a year with no problems. Previously I've run the Hot Racing (the ones with the yellow rod ends) and they were junk, they bend easily at the point where the turn buckles enter the rod end. That was just running over some rutted ground rather than jumping or running into things ( ) so I would avoid at all costs.

    Hope this helps.

    The mamba broke my stock pinion. It kinda melted it. I have a metal set on its way but won't be able to use it till next week.

    Status: offline     		ok, here to prove that the turnbuckles are good. The ball joints keeping pulling out of the suspension mounting arms.
    I have ordered another stock one but if i keep doing it i will have to get an ally one.

    One big problem i am having, when i put full throttle from the start it veers off to one side, never just left or just right but randomly to one side.

    Status: offline     		I just bought a Mini-T roller off ebay. Have been looking for an electric to run and I caught this one with 3 minutes left. Put in 2 bids and it was mine! It was kind of an impulse buy, just wanted to get some other opinions on if I got a good deal or not. I just read through the last 10 pages of this thread to get an idea of how to build this thing up. I am sure I will be on here a lot once my new money pit is delivered. Check it out and let me know what you think!

    I think I got a good deal, but you got a killer one! I like that mine is a roller so I can put whatever stuff I want on it but for another $50 the one you got was a way better deal.

    Anyone else clarify ?
