Well with the Nicer weather today, I took a half a day off from work and prepared to run!!!!!!!! This past weekend I had upgraded my sterring servos to (2) Hitec 645 MGs....Thank goodness I did because I needed to change my throttle servo out after a short run yesterday..seems as though the short time my motor saver filter was "resting" on the rear brake linkage caused enough of a problem to damage the servo...I fixed that issue and I replaced it with one of the stock servos and was ready to run today...

All I can say is...It was a blast...I now know why I took up this hobby!!! I did have a crash that would have made anyone proud!!! We are talking end over end down a slope that kept rolling...LMAO No damage!!! But it was scary...there was no sign of when it would quit. Well about an hour or so into my session...My steering went out....Upon further inspection I discovered that the screws in the servo arms came loose and the teeth in the arms were stripped out...Time for another kit. When they were working I did notice an improvement in the steering...That extra torque makes a difference...I am not quite ready to go with the Single Servo yet...I want to keep "weight" as balanced as I can until I understand the vehicle better and also get better as a driver.

Anyway, It was a great time tiil the breakdown....

Well I tried to take mine out and ran into all kinds of snags. My receiver packs wouldn't hold a charge and my gear box is not catching right. I was to lazy to screw with it and brought out the son's Emaxx lol
