Here it is! $500 as is, 1 run. Really good condition.
Guy I purchased it from said he pulled it straight out of the box, slapped electronics in it, ran it, and that was it. It seems he is right as there is play in the pillow balls, toe and camber aren't even, body isn't even scratched, etc. I'll just treat it like I took it out of the box myself! That includes gently checking screw tightness, shocks, diffs are full, etc.
Speeking of electronics:
HW Max 6 Combo with 1650kv can. 17T pinion (I'll check gear mesh) and an ADS-15 Servo.
Being my first Speedrunning car, I have somewhat plotted the road (heh) ahead of me:
At 140: Change to a GT body
At 150: Change to foams
A few questions:
At what point, if any, should I start looking at upgrading to GP5 diffs?
What models and componds of GRP tires should I start looking at?
Apart from DeltaPlastik, are there any other GT bodies I should be looking for/at? Has anyone looked at the russian Unbreakables?
Anything else I should be on the lookout for/be thinking about as I begin running?

- Run it as is! (probably tomorrow) Go over all the factory "rtr" bits ~ anything one would go over with a rtr vehicle. Throw in an R6FG receiver, set endpoints, calibrate ESC. Check suspension geometry, meaning zero toe in front; average factory toe in the rear (measure each wheel, average the toe, and match it); zero camber front and rear; max caster. Preload the rear as per Raz's secrets vid. Balance the wheels and tires. I'll start with easy runs on 6S, see how it does with my phone as a GPS. Work up to 8S. Aim for consistant 100mph runs. I have an R7FG (dual antenna) receiver on the way, as well as a DS3225 Blue (coreless) to replace the ADS-15 asap, and a SkyRC GSM020 gps. I'll be putting these in as soon as they arrive, but I am too excide to wait for them
- Check temp as I am running it, and boost the pinion until the motor/ESC stop being comfortable.
- Add a PPS mount and swap in my MMX8S and 2028 800KV, starting at the same spool RPM as the final gearing on the Max 6 setup and gradually gearing it faster.
