| First thing you will want to do is get that battery mounted lower in the chassis to bring the center of gravity down, That will help tremendously. |

| That works, but I am saying just lower the battery as in mounting it on the lower links or something like that. They make the split 2/3rds size cells that go on the sides of the front servo, that helps a bunch in terms of lowering the center of gravity. |

| yeah they get pretty tedious. I just put a bit in my drill set it on the lightest slipper setting and did it that way, didn't strip any and it went a hell of alot faster. I run Wheely King axles and just ordered a set of axials b/c i thought that the WK axles were to wide, but man crawling is addictive. Have fun. Jim |

| Judging by your drift cars shape... Either you drift like a god... or you don't drive often...  |
