    Just grabbed the SkyRC gyro and it's the best upgrade for $20 you can toss in this thing. https://www.ebay.com/itm/SkyRC-GC301-RC-Car-Gyro-Adjustable-Stability-Control-System-Drift-Control-Assist/172355345880

    Luckily someone at Horizon screwed up and tossed two packages rubber-banded together of the parts tree I ordered. Got a two-fer :D Tbone racing bumpers arriving today. Didn't get any video last wed (kinda forgot) but two other guys will be bringing their Reflexes next wed night so I'll be sure...

    i'll try to get someone to grab some video with my phone this wed. We'll have at least two of them running practice laps on the turf track at Maximus RC :)

    Hobbytown is sending me replacement shock bodies/collars. Still can't say much for the AE "support" I received. Still can't believe they wouldn't send me literally $4 in parts. Another little thing I have to gripe about with this vehicle is the way Associated sells replacements. I let my buddy...

    So I can't say much about associated support. Car is literally a month old. Been run twice at the carpet track and once in my driveway. The rear shock pre-load collars are completely stuck on the threads and will not turn whatsoever. First support told me they no longer support discontinued...

    No idea :) Never installed a sway bar, are the mounts the little nubs that are sticking out in the middle of the arm there?

    You're gonna laugh but I went full ghetto on the installation on this car and just coiled up the long wire and gorilla taped it to the body :D. They just plug right into your receiver for power. The windows "were" clear but I sprayed them black and used the included window decals to cover up the...

    I'll have to measure the diameter but they are 40.5cm long and 2.25lb/inch Had a blast with it at the track today. All the guys were jealous of my ground effects :D Didn't get any video though cuz my battery was super low and I wanted to save it for a call if needed :android:

    Associated Reflex 14t/14b

    Oh I misunderstood :D They literally only needed about an extra 15mm or so to fit properly. The full spring is 40.5mm so two of those would be way too long. Being it's such a new vehicle there's not many options from Associated and noone really knows yet what aftermarkets will fit them properly...

    There's no need for stiffer springs. Springs don't mainly dampen the landings, the oil filled shock itself does. The spring is mostly there to return the arm to its position after dampening to return the vehicle to its proper ride height. The only issue I had spring-wise is the rears dont match...

    After some experimenting, the losi 15w all around is almost perfect. No more bounce in the rear and takes off jumps nice and level now where before the butt-end would fly up almost flipping it forward on every launch. I also had to pull the rear springs a bit. My biggest gripe with this vehicle...

    Just ordered some Associated 20w and 10w. Gonna start with the 20w all around and see how it goes. I have some losi 15w as well but i've read losi is a bit thicker than associated in comparison. I'll post some results when I get to tinkering with it. :)

    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...
