huge difference between the le mans and a g4s... the g4s is pure competition... much faster, and has every k-factory hop up in existance... different gearing, (i have s-class gearing and clutch on my g4) and the clutch is MUCH different ... if you're just going to bash, get the le mans... it's a bit more user friendly for the first timer. building a g4 is going to take more than a couple of evenings and a set up board and tools are helpful, although i set mine up with just a machinists' ruler and a caliper.... still not as good as a set up board. also when you get the kit, soak all your bearings in laquer thinner or fuel injector cleaner to melt all of that thick-assed grease out of them... your car will rip after that.... i've built 2 of these and drove one into oblivion last year... they're a lot of fun and WAAAAAAAAAAY more car than, say, a TC-3

Got my friend into racing this season. He is running a tc-3. After 4 weeks of overdriving his car, I finally got him to stay off the throttle and be more consistant. He is hooked.Anyways he bouht a good contoller and a setup station but we could get his car to handle just right. So last night he stops at my house w/ all kinds of $. " I want a new touring car" within 30 seconds I had the teammagic's website up. It took all but three minutes into talking him into one. He ended up getting a mongoose for 175$ shipped. I bet he didn't sleep last night.

Well I got a mongoose before my friends even cma in(he's not happy.)lol . But anyway I am looking into servo's right now and I was wondering if I need a loprofile steering servo. Here is what I am looking at:

http://cgi.ebay.com/FUTABA-S3151-Servo-Digital-Sport-BB-M0310_W0QQitemZ6067233128QQihZ009QQcategoryZ34056QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
and

LMK which one would fit the best. I know the bottom one only has 1 hole but I would have no problem making it fit. The top was is cheaper, that is the one I would like to go w/.

I am using std size servos with no problems ,dont think you should have a hassle with low profile ones.

Just make sure you have a ballraced servo with good torque and speed.

Not impressed with the Missile pipe ,have bought Mega 2607 and Mugen 2062 pipes.
Both run fanatastic.

From the info I picked up I would say either the Mugen 2062 or the Skyline VR12 plus.
Broad powerband and not to heavy on fuel consumption.
The Mega is also good as well as the AxeMotorRossi Magic pipe.

The missle pipe is a good pipe but weak in all power bands compared to the Skyline VR12 Plus, mugen's, Nova Roaai's and Sirio's pipes. I use the Skyline on my MF .12 MasMo engine and it allows the engine to get on the pipe early and stay that way all down the straight. Skyline is evenly priced as well and some others ca
