yeah it seems a little fast so im gunna change the gears. i bought my links yesterday and all that but the integy steering links the stock screws were too big... so i gotta get the right size for them ... and i forgot to get the rod ends and such for my susp. links lol... im also going to get new upper links.

i cut my body last night so the tires dont hit anymore.
but i do need to drill holes or something.. im a lil torn on it right now cuz ive seen people say it lets too much air out and ive seen people say dont crawl with out them drilled... so idk what im going to do about that.

where in so-cal r u from?

sence you got the RTR and already have a new motor and tires and getting the plastic links changed out. The next thing you should upgrade is the shocks. I would go with either Traxxas big bores or Losi crawler shocks. Also invest in delrin skid that moves the links to the inside of the chassis. Other than that you should be good for a while. Once you get some wheelin time in you can go further with it IE: new esc with drag break, nice 3 ch FM or specktrum radio, Dig. Have fun with it!
