I haven't run it yet as i am having to pay for a holiday next month and cant realy afford the servo's at the moment.I bought the fg while i could as there doesn't seem to be to many avaliable over here in the uk at the mo.Hop up wise i have bought outwears for it a gear cover and a wheelie bar:)oh yeh and i got a mate to make me some shock socks and have put an hpi 5b wing on it as i cant see the acrylic fg one lasting more than a couple of tumbles:clown:.
 
Sounds cool! The things are pretty scarce over here too.
I put only one servo (hitec 1/4 scale) and it works great and saved some cash. I also bought the fg gear cover. If you are interested DDM has a cover that goes over the diff (made from fiberglass). It does a good job of covering the rest of the drive train. I got it, and it fits pretty well, but you will need to trim it a little (because of the wheelie bar) and drill and counter sink a couple of holes to mount it to the chassis. The 5b tail is a good idea (my 5b tail has taken a pounding with no problems), but you would be surprised how much of a beating the fg tail can take. My brother has the monster beetle (same tail), and has flipped and end landed many times with no problems. Good luck with setting it up.
