Thanks very much for the tips guys.

I have been reading through all of the older posts with great interest. Thankfully the rat has already been ball raced but I shall also be checking to see if it has the bearings in the diff. I think I'm going to get a set of B4 shocks aswell and see how they work. And I'll also look at adding weight under the servo

I'd definitely like to get a brushless motor and esc set-up in the car but that will come as and when I have the money and have honed my driving skills! One thing I'm concious of is that my local club run size limits on the motors that you can use (27t b or 13.5t bl). However, I'd definitely like to switchover to lipo's and was wondering whether I need to change anything on the buggy in order to use them instead of the nimh batteries with the existing brushless set-up? Do they just use the same connectors as the nimh?

Do you suggest getting the steel screw kit as the existing ones are soft and very easy to overtighten? I'm thinking a bit of threadlock wouldn't go a miss either.

Thanks again for your advice
