Status: offline 		Just got it today and sadly the weather is keeping me indoors. But I noticed she drifted right all the time and visually could tell the front right passenger tire was pointed out a bit. I adjusted it to what I visually feel is straight and it drives straighter not perfect but much better. But now I am curious is it adjusted too far as I see quite a bit of threads on both ends of the rod and not sure if this is potentially far enough to create a weak spot or if normal.... or is there something else I should adjust?

Status: offline 		Again I dont really know what I am talking about but I thought I read someone saying the VXLs were not strong enough for this car? The guys at the shop showed me a one motor system there I could buy, dont recall brand but rmember what I think was a purple heatsink on the motor which was rather large... was like 270-280 for it and the speed control.

Here is a quick pic.

It isnt a speed demon by any means , but from 0 too say maybe 20-25mph it will stay with the nitro .
