redharris, it is off the kyosho st-rr...here is the part # http://nitrohouse.com/images/Kyosho/ifw304.jpg. it has worked just fine. 98% of the st-rr parts will fit the monsoon, they are great upgrades. the suspension plates are also wonderful.. they have a set screw to hold your hinge pins in...and of course you can find all of these parts on ebay...but you already knew that.lol

I told you they would fit LOL! Nobody ever believed me when I had my monsoon. I even put a Kyosho ST CNC milled out chassis from dragon racing on mine just to show everyone! Glad to hear those other parts fit!

Chris ......
I remember That Project, but I never saw the Finished Product with the Kyosho Pan......
So it actually all bolted together and ran correctly, huh?
Chris & 1Marty....
And Thanks for the info and Parts confirmation!
You dont know How Many Times I've bought stuff for RC's, thinking it would fit and then having to get rid of it on Ebay cuz it Didn't fit![:@]

Ok...
Now that I have the Steering plate under control, i need some advice on a Steering servo for Racing.
I need a servo that will give my truugy tires some Snap, and be rugged enough to stand up to constant Practice on a track....
I blew out the Stock servo in a week just Bashing. I replaced it with a Chineese servo of better quality, but its not up to Racing standards.
I know Chris used a JR650 http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...oducts_id/9935
I am also looking at the ACE servo http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...oducts_id/5994
or maybe this Hitech http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...oducts_id/6775
Also...Someone told me that DIGITAL is not so great for Racing....Is this True?

Yes I used the JR 650 then I switched to the hitec 645mg ultra torque. Same torque as the JR 650 and cheaper too. I sell them for 39.99. I like the hitecs better. They do not get as much slop in the gears as the JR ones and they are water resistant. Right now I use the Hitec 5955 with 330oz for torque. Alot more expensive but you will not break them.

the best bumper is when you don't bump into anything...lol...j/k.... i have heard people putting on the xtm bumper..looks pretty cool, but when you hit something at 1/4 throttle or more, no bumper is going to be forgiving...something is going to give...just keep running and watch out for sudden obsticles...lol...

RE: Redcats Monsoon Thread
little bit but not too bad 
the pipes a no brainer, the side guards just need some dremeling to get them to fit right, and the bumper was basically just some drilling and fitting.
