BlackedOutREVO - thanks for the offer on the chassis but I ended up buying a huge bunch of rc stuff locally to resell most and keep some. Now I have just too much stuff to get rid of at the moment.

The stock chassis is working ok for my purposes now actually but I just need to get a better mount for the servo. Maybe the mount that is close to the pinion on there now isn't even correct. It doesn't seem to be a good solid fit though it does keep the servo on there. A solid aluminum mount for the mini servo and stock chassis would be nice.

So I installed the missing screw and bushing for the front steering knuckles, using loctite. Also used some loctite on the motor mount. Nothing came loose or broke today after running for maybe an hour total. I would run for 10 - 15 minutes at a time and the mamba 4600 wasn't too hot (less than 150). I put the stock tires on there and its plenty fast.

Can someone tell me why everyone changes out the shocks? I am not all that good with suspension setups honestly. I just work on my driving mostly and try to drive the car consistently without adjusting the spring, oils, etc. I'll get a few shots of the setup now so I can get feedback from you guys on how to adjust it.

Thanks.
