I think HimotoRacing is correct....Lean the LSN a bit,,,,Till it LAUNCHES off the line, (after idleing at a dead stop for about 5 seconds).

The rancho is fast and durable. Its not as fast as the revo 3.3 but will give it a run for the money, it has tons of torque but the 3.3 has the 2 speed transmission. Rancho is built very strong, thick arms, good for bashing, will also wheelie easily, acutally too easy, mine will flip on its top easily.

Status: offline 		I looked at the details for the Himoto Rancho Pro, and it looks like it has several aluminum parts such as A-arms, etc. Do they come with the Rancho upgrade or do I need to buy them separately?

If you get the Rancho upgrade pro it comes with all aluminum parts I have one but you really don't need it I got it because I got a good deal but they do look nice.
