|  MRC Pro Mods
What mods/tweaks should be done to the MRC Pro right out of the box? From what I've seen, flipping the tranny is a must and perhaps flipping the shocks upside down. Anything else?

I wouldnt bother with flipping the shocks. heres what ive done- cheap/ free mods- batery on front upper links rx on rear upper links weight tires/ wheels bought mods- MIP drive shafts (stock break easy) bent lower links (rear) aluminum C-hubs doesnt need much to be a very capable rig. |

I also made a centered servo mount using the existing upper link mounts to eliminate the wheel rubbing the servo. Lastly I have Rovers with I-nova foams. Flip the trans? Wouldn't hurt much. Mine works nicely the way it is. | |

if your not comping just add weight to the tires and go play tell something breaks. I liked when i changed out the one hole valve for the three hole ones in the shocks leave driver rear with one hole though

It showed up today and I am very impressed. I immediately removed the stock driveshafts to put on the MIPs I already had purchased. One of the set screws stripped almost immediately even after heating with a soldering iron. I ended up having to drill it out which worked out well since I was tossing the stock ones anyway. My only real complaint so far has been the screws. They are so tiny that I feel like I'm going to strip almost all of them. The largest ones I have seen are the ones holding on the servo. Other than that, great little rig. I'm going to fashion a tray for the electronics and battery (still using stock MRC electronics). Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I'll start doing those little mods as I feel the need for better performance.  |

Outboard the shocks at the axles. The stock setup is wayyyyy too flexy.

Need to stiffen it up a bit and limit the travel. Too much articulation works against you. | |

Just follow Rubbaneck's setup to start out and you too can win a national championship! |

He is WARCRC 2010-2011 1.9 series champion. Not national champ. I would start out with good electronics and servo first and definitly get the 1.9 rovers. Then add weight on the front. From there you can tweak it to your liking. | |

Is weight in the tire or on the rim a better choice? Thanks |
