RE: **Official** RXT-1 Truggy thread
Does Himoto offer this truggy as a roller? I've got my eyes on an RB Concepts motor & a couple of Hitec servos. I have a spektrum from my old electric buggy I would throw in there. Was just wondering if they offered a roller? If not I might get one and you'll see the motor, servos, and radio/receiver on here for sale.

Are there pics of the buggy roller? If I'm reading this thread correctly it comes with carbon fiber parts? Any other hop ups to it?

I did that same thing when I had my Redcat Monsoon. Worked awesome! Actually had to back off of the brakes I had so much after doing that. I could do front flips off of jumps easily.

You don't need to use two brake "pads" between the rotors. One of those steels will do the job, and will put less stress on the transmission case as well as take up less room. Does the dogbone engage further than that outboard rotor, 'cause frequently the pin will not fit inside the rotor and you'll have to notch out some clearance.

Okay everyone I got my RXT 1 Back on the road, being I didnt have time at home to do the work I needed, and the bosses are out on vacation on a cruise, anyways I took my RXT 1 to work with me and worked on it, all I had to do was replace one servo wich we all know one had went bad on me, but I replaced both servo's and put in my Futaba 2PL setup, so now I can run it again with no worries of a servo going bad on me, well at least I hope it dont
