Anyone know why these last few posts are posted so weird? Super hard to read to figure out what is being posted.

+1 above. I am still on my stock front and stock rear steer servos. They are NOT set up correctly from the factory and will fight each other, thus burning them out. Take the time to set them up and ensure they are mechanically setup correct and then adjust end points as well to make sure they are not being driven past their mechanical throw limits. Been running my rig for 2 years now on mine. 
Thanks for all the feedback. I will work on fine tuning my steering servo atms this weekend. Hopefully i will get back up and running soon.
I have the JS Performance aluminum body mounts all the way around and the Primal ones for the very front. The body cage fits "tighter" for me but not to the point of not fitting. Let me know what ya find. Curious as to the cause.Sorry, been out of touch.
I would agree on the alignment of the servos. The servo horns can be adjusted so that both servos are in sync. Note that they are difficult to free up to make the adjustment. I believe mine were glued so adjustment was not easy. I ditched the stock servos since the battery would drain in short time and steering would just stop responding. When I installed the AGFRC 100k servos, also have the horns properly aligned.
As for the run-away issue, the Ram slammed into the tire of a parked car that was a few feet away when it happened. At least I have all of the bugs worked out with the radio and such. Have not had any issues since.
Had a recent issue with the TMR engine (non-stock). The reed block must have loosened up again and leaking air as I could not get it started. When I fixed that issue before, I had no issues getting it started and performance was great. The seal is now leaking again as I did not secure the screws with thread lock or lock washers which is what I will do next.
I did replace the roll cage posts with the aluminum one's. (Front and sides). Since doing that, I cannot get the body to fit onto the chassis. Will have to figure that out.
The only areas I could get to fit were the rear 4 posts and the two front posts. Both sides, they were off by an inch. Side posts were lower than the supports on the chassis, they were also offset towards the rear of the vehicle. I even removed all of the body panels just to see what was up with the fitment. I can get the sides to fit but nothing else would mate. It could be the side chassis mounts. Almost appears like they are upside down. If that is the case, I will have to drill out one of the holes so I can reverse them. I will have to take it apart to see what is going on.I have the JS Performance aluminum body mounts all the way around and the Primal ones for the very front.

I was blessed and when I built my rig, Primal didnt really have many upgrades initially. So all my parts are JS Performance for the most part. Amazing fit and finish and super beefy! I have a V2 with a V3 cage and body....it is the same cage for both so should be no issue from version to version.
For my upgraded brake servo, I went with a Primal RC 100kg I believe, I will check when I get home. I replaced the servo because my brake servo burned out and locked up. But before replacing the servo do to chattering which I had and it drove me crazy until I applied a simple fix. Place a metal hose clamp on the exhaust. I will also send you a pic of mine. I guess it did something to the ground and totally stopped the clatter.With those AGFRC SERVOS, did you need to buy new servo horns?
My stock brake servo glitches plugged directly into a receiver (Futaba, or the stock receiver that comes with the Grave Digger). These servos seem like a giant pile of poop, as does the engine. Not happy for the price of this thing. It should've included the GP460 and some better servos, or at least give the option to save money upfront and buy your own servos. Geez
