stock XRC steering servos are junk
i bought a XRC RC -1 from this Ebay seller in person and it came with a broken steering servo,so i let the seller know and he shipped me a replacement,the new servo came broken exactly the same place as the original.these cheap servos have this plastic collar that houses a gear axle that is very easy to break,bad design and quality but i managed to glue it back together with CA glue but still dont know if it will work correctly until the glue dries.2 in a row back to back,does that mean that at least 50% of XRC large scale servos come broken?? Anyone else have this problem with XRC cars,and what i cant believe is that the seller sells these crapppy servos for $125 on Ebay,i wouldnt even pay $1.25 for one of these!!!!

Which air filter did you go with? I've heard the K&N short stack works. Been looking for a tuned pipe too. Modelworks said they would have one... in a few months (along with some hop-ups)
