Next being my throttle servo has died is this servo a good replacement or does any one know a good replacement one that wont break the bank http://abbotsrc.co.uk/HS5765MH-DIGITAL-MEGA-14-SCALE-SERVO-with-or-without-servo-adapter-kit-P2189350.aspx last being my spur gear got chewed up luckily it came with a spare but i was looking at the hostile spur gears has any body tried them what they like compared to the stock hpi ones
 
What do you mean by your suspension didn't work?
Too bouncy? Soften the spring rate / reduce the preload / put heavier oil in.
Too low / soft Increase the spring rate / consider heavier oil.

hi sorry i meant when i tried adjusting the preload it didnt make difference. yeah the suspension is very bouncy would heavier oil help what w would you recommend
 
I had a set of Integy MSR6 shocks on my LST2 spec Raminator a few years ago. I hadn't run it for months, and felt I'd take it out for a blast - bounced itself off the grass!!
Hardly any oil in the shocks - no damping, just 'springiness'.

Good idea as stated in the previous post to check if you have any oil in them, and how much.

i would check the fluid in your shocks,

i just checked the fluid in the shocks and they were full so i will try some heavier oil and see if that works. do you think suspension limiting cables will help stop it rolling
 
could be the tires aswell or your ride height, if your tires are better then stock they'll grab more and send you rolling through a turn, atleast with smaller scales thats what ive learned
