Knuckles, carriers, and tie rod need to be upgraded to metal if they haven't been already. You'll also want a bec if you don't have one (they're mandatory once you go above stock), preferably the one from Castle Creations. Its also a good idea to have a radio with end point adjustments. If you spend a good deal of time with the steering at full lock and the servo still trying to push, it'll burn out eventually. |

 What I did with mine. If you are using a programable ESC, but sure to NOT cut the power wire to the ESC plug, just pull it out of the connector. That way if you need to reprogram, you just pop the pin back into the connector.
