and you have to mount the servo right all you need is 2 bucks foor the rubber nubs that fit in the chasis and the servo mounting little nubs you atatch to the servos the zip tie is only good if you are at the park for a temp fix, and that raises the center up if you are talking about jumping

Ok well yes, it was temporary, and I`ll fix it later, And that is about the cheapest engine I could find. $50.00! It seems pretty good to if you keep it in a lighter car. Its a redcat racing, vx .16

Stang I don't know about that motor but I have a vx18 and it's a decient little mill.No power house but a easy to tune motor with decient power.I would look into the 18 it's about the same price.Good luck with your projects.

Not yet, I gotta wait till my next paycheck, pay my mom the cell phone bill, If hobbytown had it I could go get it right now, but they dont, and if I order it from them I`ll nver see that 35.00 again, or the sleeve for that matter. But yeah. Rc has taught me lots of patience. Its coming into effect right now.
