Default I've just joined the YXL club



I've order up a few upgrade parts like HR F&R sway bars, HR steering rack, GPM rear drive shaft and a few other parts

Electrics wise, I'm going to run a HW XR8 Plus, a HW 4074 2250kv G2 motor, plus a Protek 170t servo

Been playing with the shocks and got them pretty much how I want, I've stuck the front helper springs on the rear and upped the oil to 30wt, the fronts now have Baja medium helpers and 45wt oil

I have the same ESC and motor for my YXL. You're going to love it. Super smooth crawling and can wheelie the thing down the road. Remember to set it to full sensored mode.
