Thanks guys... I have been trying to post up some pics but the attachment manager doesn't seem to be responding?
magman, yah, I was thinking of getting Mike's diffs (you're thinking of the hybrid diff kit?), with some proper diff fluid.
Also the e-revo chassis and parts which can be had for just under $100 on ebay. And the e-revo transmission, about $60 - $70 on ebay.
And if anyone here has some solid racing experience is they could share some suspension 'tuning' advice...
