Cool thanks guys, and thanks for the tips as well. Yep, I plan on buying another 1 or 2 5000mah lipo batteries. I don't plan on actually racing it, but would just like something to run at the track for fun and for bashing. If I was going to race, I'd probably look into a 2wd. Also, as I've heard with redcats, the steering servos suck. If this is true, what would be a good direct drop in replacement not requiring any mods or new parts?
I'm sure Nitrosports will respond back about the servos. He always recommends a decent metal geared servo that's around $10 and many members have used them and say they work great. I know there is certainly an issue with Redcats lower grade servos, you always read about them on here. It's hard to believe, but I've never had one go bad. With the exception of the servo in one of my Sumo's, "which is completely different than 1/10 scale servos", all of mine have worked perfectly without failure. But having an extra in the parts box is not a bad idea. Don't forget that Redcat typically warranties their servos, and I've read on here more than once that they've replaced the defective one with one of their higher grade servo's.
