As I have made improvements, I have seen an increase in handling, especially against my mates basically stock US Sports. I know this is the expensive way of doing it but I am enjoying seeing the improvements as I go. Here are some pics:

Status: offline 		I suggest a king headz quick change mount, and front chassis brace, if you tend to run on terrain with allot of big jumps(or if you run in the cold).
Some may say ditch the the cast knuckles but ive only worn out one set after more than 20 gallons of runtime.
One thing you have to do with the ST-R is take your time shimming the diffs, many have rushed this(or shimed them like straight cut gears) and have blown ring and pinnion gears.Myself im still on my original gears and am expecting them to last the rest of the season.When they will be replaced by the new chromoly gears when i can get my hands on them.

For setup how is your track?

Status: offline 		well here is how it will look when it comes.



it has the upgrade mount on it(k-factory?) and thats it as far as i can see. not sure what engine im putting in or other stuff but i know i will have the JP3 pipe, JR 9000T for steering. Gettin the truck to play around with, i have no intentions of racing on a track or something but still i wanted a great kit truck to bash with. After i get it running like i want, then the kingheadz parts will come after.
which brings me to a question, why are fioroni upgrades so expensive and kingheadz so cheap? im guessing is because of the looks of it. How do i shim down the gears? I seen some1 that had HotBodies pinion gears in and they said they were better than the kyosho ones or somthing..

Status: offline 		Fioroni is more expensive in north america because they are imported from italy(and the owner is a little bit full of himself).They are both machined 7075 aluminum parts.

As for the hot bodies gears I actually dont know anyone that runs them(allthough ive heard of many that do) as for the stock gears if they are fine when you get the truck just leave them.When i shimmed mine I centered the pinnion in the ring gear as much as possible and got the mesh almost to the point of being notchy from the shims on the ring gear ride(one thin shim on the other side) run the truck easy for five tanks. Pulled them apart changed one thick shim for two thin and havnt had any issues.

Status: offline 		When I said i was getting the JR 9000T servo in an earlier post,(Torque: 320 oz/in @ 6V, Speed: .15 sec/60 deg @ 6V) i remembered later that i have the airtronics 94358 servo (Torque: 160 oz/in @ 4.8V, 200 oz/in @ 6.0V,
Transit Time: 0.13 sec/60 degrees @ 4.8V, 0.10 sec/60 degrees @ 6.0V) just sitting in a 1/10th car i probably wont use no time soon. Would that be enough power for the truggy or do i need the JR?
