Anyone else pick up one of these guys? Heck of a lot of fun but needs some tuning/upgrades. For wheels and tires I went with the LC Racing rear buggy tires all around. part#L6230. Leaps and bounds better than the stock ones.
Did anyone replace their springs? Looking for a set that actually FIT the shocks. Not fond of the fact you have to have the preload collar almost all the way down just for the spring to not slide up and down on the shock body... why are they so short!
On the subject of shocks, did anyone try different shock oil wt and what worked for you. Stock is 30 all around and way too thick. This thing just bounces as is. I think I read somewhere 20w front and 10w rear was a good way to go but looking for other opinions if any
Last but not least, I'm a complete noober when it comes to 4wd diffs and diff fluid. Seen reports of 10/10/4 and 7/5/3 on another forum. Wondering if anyone else changed them out and what worked best for you.
Asides from those small issues though (which are generally the same things you swap out anyways on any RTR) I love the lil' guy. It's fun as heck to rip around my driveway and yard as well as the carpet track. Can't wait to toss it on the dirt track this weekend as well.
