Status: offline 		I changed out the radio, reciever, and servos on my Volcano SV. I replaced them with the Spectrum 2.0 radio, reciever and servos. The throttle and steering response is much better. The truck also has a lot better turning radius and can go out as far as I want. The radio that comes with the truck is garbage. I guess it gets the job done if you just want to stay within 20 feet and not have very good control over the truck. I'm not bashing the truck, the truck is awesome, just a crappy radio.

Status: offline 		My suspension travel is crushing my dogbones. I've orderd the cvds, but they are too long and also get crushed. I've limited my suspension travel by putting spacers into my suspension, but would like full travel and am wondering if you can recomend shorted cvds? 08046 is the cvd I ordered, but they won't come even close to fitting in the rear.

Thanks

Status: offline 		I'm bending dogbones constantly, and I'm breaking axle ends left and right! The dogbones I buy are ae and are about 1.5mm shorter then I put a spring inside to keep them in the outer cups. I need cvds, but redcats are too long and won't allow full suspension travel in the front and nearly any in the rear! Does redcat or hpi or anyone make a cvd that is about 2mm shorter then the redcat p/n 08046?

Status: offline 		Most of the remote cars you get will have 27mhz crystals, which can only be used with a 27mhz transmitter and receiver, thats why I upgraded my transmitter and receiver to a 75mhz, it allows you to drive it at a farther distance and used my same servo's till I got new one's, which by the ebay link I posted gave it all transmitter receiver and servo's. I'm not sure of the mhz though 75 or more is what you want.
