I finally did it....!
After months and months of procrastinating I finally went to my LHS and ordered a GST, now my nemesis wont feel so lonley. Before I even break it in I am going to pull it apart and upgrade the driveshaft, steering servo and and install the new cnc machined spur gears
I can't wait[&:]

RE: I finally did it....!
Good stuff...it'll be interesting to see what you think of the GST V's Nemesis when broken in. Interesting to hear you mention beefing up the steering servo. I want to do the same for my GST and recalled TRD saying in another thread that a 6 volt batery pack is preferable to power say a 333 oz Hitec servo. With this in mind I contacted a local RC shop to be informed that even though I might install a 6 V pack, the receiver will continue to feed 4.8 V to my servos! Big disappointment. Is he right and do I have to upgrade my receiver too?? Also do you plan on upgrading the break servo, throttle servo? Cheers.

RE: I finally did it....!
Personal preference i'm sure, but 2 144oz servos installed in the Dual Steering Servo mod is likely cheaper than a high end servo. Just my 2 cents. Besides the mod is a blast [8D]
Gratz on the GST either way, i never had so much fun!!!!!!!
P.S. Would love to hear a Nemi vs GST review myself

Annie is absolutely correct your servos will receive whatever power you send to them via battery voltage
Congratulations Soilworks,,,, I did not see any mention of the Check valve mod, is that working out for you??? I never did hear if you got it tuned well....

This set up is so much nicer...lock my self in the room, turn up the AC and the music on those really hot days and just wrench on my trucks I bought the work bench and the backwall with lights for $50.00 at sears on clearance, it was a discontinued model.

Thanks[8D][8D] You never know what kind of bargains you are going to find
Check a Sears store near you, they always have discontinued merch and merch that customers have brought back at real good prices When I saw that workbench and back wall for only $50.00 I could not pass on that! Now I have my own little mantown[8D][&:]

Hey Darkfire, Its looks like granite patterned Laminate counter top, the company I work fabricates them for offices, breakrooms and anywhere you might want the granite look but not the granite pourosity and expense, you also get that pattern from home depot or lowes as well
