So....
After 4 hours of eating Mike n' Ikes, and burning my fingers on the soldering, I finally got the HS-55 servo wired up. Let me say, it works beautifully! I'd say at least 50% better than the stock servo, even on the crappy tx/rx system.
Then, to add to my joy, my package from XI came. In it, was my M1 motor case kit. I popped in a 42t pattern wound, FAT comm'ed arm and soldered on the motor wires. Needless to say, I was nothing short of impressed at the new motor case kit. It is beautiful! Not only that, but it shreds!
Now, the next things on the list are some +3 offset MA-010 rims (butt loads truer than stock xmod rims) to get the rims under the wells of the body (they're a *bit* shallow inside the body right now, lol).
So, the upgrades right now are:
42t pattern wound arm in M1 motor case
Intellect 750mAh high performance cells
Ball-Bearings all around
Relocated Antenna
Atomic 20 degree treads
Hitec HS-55 servo
Metal Lug nuts
Pan Car body
