it might work if you switch the front right and the left rear i think thats the dirction they go if that helps
you can't do that because the front rims carry bearings and the rears do not.

I HAVE A ? RE: THE controller the came wit hthe RTR kit. my throttle seems to come on whe npulled full trigger. but not al lat once, like if you wanted to do a burn out. instead its a slow inscrease. not that it takes long for it to reach full throttle. Is this normal, its proble better that was for racing. if it went to full throttle ASAP then you would just spin out in the dirt.

dmr bikes 4 eva, I would have to suggest you get the kit.. if you are going to race it then get the factory team kit, comes with a bunch of great upgrades. either way i suggest you get yourself a extra set of front arms, get the plastic ones they are a little more forgiving the truck is wider and the arms are easy to break. you already have electronics. and you get the expreience of building it and you know how to repair it and have a better understanding of adjustments and how to get that thing running better. you can also go to associateds website and look at team racers setup sheets and use those to help you tweak the truck.

I have a factory teamT-4 on panther switch tires powered by 19t spec motors. one of the best upgrades i installed is the bulk head from a GT-2, it is aluminum, and i have had a problem with the plastic ones breaking. you just use setscrews instead of the captured pins on the inside of the arms.

well i wouldnt say its slow handeling or on rails it is right in between but there are options for tightening up the steering you can shotren the wheelbase and get the inline front axles. all i did to mine was remove some anti squat to loose some of the push going into turns.

I am planning on getting 2 of the RTR for my son and I. I will need extra bats and a decent charger. Is there a charger out there that will charge more than 1 bat at a time.

Guys I have another question. I was just on towers web site and it says you can't pick the channel you want. What will I have to do if both are on the same channel.
