Oh yea typhon! Tons of SGD spent in this rig! None of my other rigs come close man! I have Louise B-Pioneer tires and they work great for my other buggies! I also found out that Arrma provides a 5.0mm wrench for the pillow ball suspension! Luckily for me,as I do not have a hex driver that size! I'm gona look up on the aka cross race. Just a question, is the esc fan able to be remove for cleaning the heatsink? As there are always leaves and debris stuck there.As for play in the steering, yes their is a little but i haven't been concerned about it. It drives pretty straight to me. The stock servo is decent but your servo upgrade will make a big improvement in response. I need to do this still. As for a 3.5mm allen key being needed a truly don't remember. I wanna say no? I primarily use 1.5mm, 2.0mm, and 2.5mm. Before you take a wheel off theirs a 3.0mm "i think" in the center of your 17mm hex nut. Thats required to loosen for disassembly of your knuckle. Other than that the 3 smaller sizes works on the majority of your car. Isnt it fun dropping tons of (SGD) and you still cant drive it lol. I love but hate that anticipation! Spare tires are always nice to have. Im a 50/50 basher/track guy and some aka crossbraces really helped my traction issues on the track vs the stock tires. Those are good for the grass and backyard thrills imo. I haven't broke any axle pins yet but having a spare can keep you up and running. Pretty inexpensive backup item.
I have not run my rig yet as all my parts ain't here yet. Another question, do I need to set the EPA and servo travel now?as in, my Futaba 4PV should be coming soon, so do I install my new receiver and bind my radio before calibrating the EPA and failsafe, as well as the esc settings? Can they be done when my new radio comes or do I have to set it up with the current tactic radio provided?
Another thing I found out is that the normal savox 1210sg I bought now has a HV variant (which I am unaware of) therefore, at 7.4V it has the torque of 23kg and at 6.0v it has 20kg torque and at 4.8v it has 15kg of torque! Same item but with HV!
Here are some pics of my build missing my front brace and my servo horn which is already but have yet to install(gona zero it when my new radio comes before loctite the horn)
