If your shocks are filled properly and don't leak 40wt is plenty good..........your going to scrape even with 90wt but 40 keeps the travel loose enough for good all round handling [:-]

Just about any of the standard ground recievers will work, The one thing I will suggest is if you don't have the aluminum upper plate you should get one. The reason being that you need to get the battery away from the reciever. The cheaply made batteries that all come from China splatter electric impulses that interfear with the RF and can cause problems.............including run away even with a failsafe

The air filter isn't the greatest. I will work o.k. but you have to keep up on cleaning it. Definitely worth $15 to get a better one. Don't forget about a fuel filter too. It will save your carburetor.

thanks man, thats great. i'm dissappointed my tornado hasn't gotten here yet, i thought it would get here yesterday or something. i don't have much to do either, my rustler's motor is completely busted and i don't have any spare change.[]

When you get your truck let me know how it is I`ve been considering getting one. I have a monsoon, hurricane and tsunami already might as well keep going right.
