it looks great man i run the .5 crowd pleaser because i realy like the look and i prefer the smaller body profile snuggeled lower and in behind the bumper and shock tower and its held up well for about two and a half months .i race my RCM .5 sometimes with slash open or 1/10 4wd buggys,SC10s ,sc8s and even 1/8 buggys it just depends on the turn out and type of entrys so durability is a must for me .i had a problum under cornering with the side wall folding under and the rim digging in and rolling so my solution was ofna 1/12 truggy dishes and trinnity ultra hard truck foams w/1/2" cut from the width and just about any track apropriate truck tire and viola, almost never traction rolls and for me it handles great.as far as shocks are concerned im still working on that .ive tried the dm1/13mmfronts combo but as far as ive worked out the spring rates available are alittle stiff and the front droop was ok but a bit short so i took a hard look at the stockers and found the OEM pistons were undersized.after looking into it i found the assosiated pistons fit perfectly after thining them and now i run them exclucivly.i also am running all the CNC stuff and wile its heavy and pricey i havent spent money replacing that stuff intwo years. have fun !
