Low profile servos are usually lighter than f/s servos. If you're looking to try and balance the car or get it to weigh right for spec, its something to consider.

Sounds like you really scored with this car! I hope it turns out well for you!

I will look into a low profile one then haha, I really think I did I gotta place another order with amain for some better tools and stuff I was looking at getting for maintenance on my sct now

He's talking about the internal resistance of the battery packs. @Greywolf74 has done extensive testing on lipos. His posts helped me to understand how they work and what needs I needed to meet so I was happy with my purchases.
I recommend you poke around his posts and learn lipos! its good info to understand even if you don't use regularly.

i’ll have to check that post out then!

You can run wide or narrow (slim I think it called).
Wider tires, more traction but heavier and maybe not as agile.

thanks I'm trying to figure out what tires i need to order but i think i need to just wait till i get the wheels, the seller threw in wheels for me just not sure the size

 

[CertifiedMike]

Gotcha. You could always order an extra set of wheels for the front. They are reasona?ly inexpensive and you're pretty likely to need more than 1 set later on.

Can't remember what gearing I'm using. I know I'm using a 21t pinion but idk what spur. But I know it's kit setup for the .1 version. And that's for mainly running on open carpet track and a fairly open clay track.

I'll look on what spur I got when I get home lol
