i hadnt thought about that yet, but am open to suggestions from more knowledgeable people than me! I will say that so far the stock tires seem to do pretty well, but I havent went on any really rocky terrain yet.

the servo kit came today, I tossed it together with the factory servo to see if it would make any difference, and it does make it turn easier. tomorrow I will put in the traxxas servo and see what happens, but I do need to change the steering servo horn as its not the proper length now.

Looks good, id use the short one because it allows you to utilize the servos torque more effeciently

ok, i cant tell too well, it looked like aluminum that reflected the flash

I am waiting on my parts to arrive for the rear steering, a reversing y-cable,servo,and bracket kit. Picked up an aluminum servo arm last night at the local r/c store
