Just got my FS going, I didn't take the diffs apart as they felt tight and smooth, I have not changed the shock oil yet, but plan to. I used my Hitec HS 525 mg servo for now till I can buy a better one. I cleaned the chassis a bit, and redid the motor wires and tried to route the wires the best I could. I couldn't really find may kyosho pics of wire routing so this is what I ended up with.





After running it in my open feild with very short grass I found that it over heated about 3-4 times. I think I need to make some vent holes above the esc in the body. I also found that the stock motor profile does not have enough braking for my likeing. But the car drives very well, lots of power!! This is also my first time driving a car with a sensored motor, I like it!! Very smooth. I did video (well wife did) I will try to post it later after I edit it. Its just driving in a flat empty feild, it was fun.
