RE: Troubling observations about brushless . . .
I have spacers / collars (the little plastic clips that go on the top of the spring) On the rear only. One other thing I forgot to mention. I did lower the body down by cutting the body mount posts. The truck will still flip if you're not careful but it's much better than stock. The only way to stop the Pede from flipping is to lower it or put on road tires on it. Then you basiclly have a rusty with big tires. I'm at work so I don't have the settings for the ESC right now. I'll post them tonight.
