it came installed with-

Futaba 2pl receiver set
Novak Cyclone TC2 ESC
Trinity Flatliner D5 motor

my plans are 2.4ghz radio kit and brushless system :)

i've been reading lots online and i've now moved the rear shocks to the front of the shock tower and it seems a lot better (not as bouncy)

so i have a few questions :)

i see people referring to 'reversing the front wishbones' what do u mean by this? just simply flipping them over or swapping left for right?

What turn brushless system would be a good starting point?

Also are they're any other tips or quick modification that anyone can give me??? :)

cheers ( loving the forum already :) )

Flip the wishbones left to right and a 10 and half or 9 and half brushless motor would be a good starting point

Spot on i will flip them tonight and see what its like :)

cheers

when you flip them, the lower shock screw should be forward facing.

luvly :)

any more quick tips you could give me :)

hello martin :)

ill put some pics up of mine swapped its really hard to tell the difference in a pic but it seems a lot stronger in corners :)

also got my new shell so pics will be up tonight :)

here ya go...

basically swap the left one for the right one and the screw for the shock should be in the front of the arm...

just need to paint a wing and change wheel colour :) lol

It makes the wheelbase slightly longer.

feels more stable when turning in to corners and not as skitty :)

is there anything else i can do to improve things?

ive got a brushless 9t system and a 5400mah 60c-135c saddle pack on the way so what gearing would people recommend?

I don't use it in big areas so really want the most acceleration as possible rather than top end.

Cheers
