Sorry been busy at work, but the one I was talking about was the rtr - once you got above 10-12mph, it would take over and fromn there all I could do was try to correct direction it was heading off on. The inertia at that speed and the woefully elastic strg knucks would let it drift badly. Graphite parts fixed all that and I benefited from all the mods done trying to fix strg slop (epoxy servo to chassis, alum bellcranks with brgs, shimmed strg posts to eliminate vertical play, alum shocks, green springs etc). Once it was fixed, I liked it well enough I bought an SE. It never had the probs my rtr did! Made some improvements ther, you're absolutely right!

MQ or buggy Vendetta stock drive train won't live long with motor kvs > 4500 or so. I've tried Hyp 5000long can and I a GH4700. I swapped them in favor of a GH3500 and the CoolRed 3500. If I want stupid fast - 3s until I get over it, lol!
