Went with the HD version. Think I have everything covered now, just need to wait for delivery and it will be up and running. :)
While I was hooking up the radio the throttle servo went out. The servo was a Savox sc-0251mg. Worth a poop or junk? Too late now because I ordered another one. They look like pretty nice pieces and not made in China.

I know it's too late but non HD imo. Becuase of the adjustability you can get more steering angle and better steering.

Good servo, use it on my baja
 
Front end turned out pretty stout, should be pretty bulletproof. All the shocks were empty so I filled them with 15w-40 diesel oil. All I had for now, it dampens pretty good from a 3ft high drop.

I see you like to lull people into a false sense security. You trick us into thinking you’ve got some brains, then at the last minute pull the carpet from under our feet.

You might as well shout Ta Da……I’m an idiot.
Basically you couldn’t wait one day and spend $5 on some proper silicone oil.

Old shocks, idk if the seals are good or if they will leak. One pissed the oil right out and needed new seals. Better than wasting good oil.

So, on the topic of knuckles. Plastic or aluminum? I like the Red Arrow billet knuckles with their 1 piece design. They look very strong but do the stock plastic 2 piece knuckles take enough of a beating to warrant going with a 1 piece design?
