I'll see what I can do about the wing removal how-to. As far as the lower links are concerned...I don't think the threaded ends come out of the stock links. Getting some 3mm bolts and cutting the heads off works well...or you can get some nice long 3mm set screws that also work well. Your LHS should have both.

Update for you guys. Thanks to Speed Metal Army we have a new motor option. The motors look similar to the cobalts I'm running, might be slightly pricey, but I think they'd work well for folks. Link is posted on the front page.

| 400 size bolts right up and fits perfectly with no mods. It gets a little close to the shocks, but not an issue at all.

Hey. here is a mod that has worked for me.I removed my wheel weights and mounted the weights on the axle instead of inside the wheels.It will give the same traction as wheel weights and allow the motors to run cooler ,longer,and have the max power for the little 380 size anyway.I was running 6oz in each front wheel and 4 oz in each rear wheel.Now I have the same amount of weight mounted on the axle on each side.It looks funny but it works well.I think the weight I was running in my wheels was also the reason my banebots burned up and didnt work well,I think I may order another set of them and give them another shot.

One easy way to lower the center of gravity is to slide the shock mounts toward the axle. Other than that you can mess around with where things are placed, weights in the wheels, etc... | |

With that said, any questions you guys have just make a new post about it or search. There have been several posts about bent links already. I'm trying to keep this thread used for posting mods or helpful hints that you can do...to keep it from being a ton of pages that nobody will wanna sift through. Not to mention you'll probably get a faster response by either searching or posting a new thread. However, if anyone has any tips that aren't on here already or homemade mods, by all means post them up and include photos if you can. | |

RX = RECIVER TX= TRANSMITTER. Thats the most common problem putting them in the wrong one. switch them around and try it again, crystals shouldnt matter too much unless they are broken. also one thing iv learned is that some Transmitters dont corespond with some recivers, example would be my TRAXXAS Transmitter wouldnt work with a HPI reciver because they are on different SHIFT point. even tho they are 27MHZ AM radios they dont want to talk to eachother. so keep that in mind also |

| Did you buy FM or AM crystals? I'm almost positive the redcat stock rx/tx is FM. Like I said before, if you have questions or need help, post out in the forum. Let's keep this tips and tricks thread strictly for mods and helpful hints.
