Thanks for the info, I've a castle sv2 4600kv system, on 3S it'll be fast enough but the esc may be to large, and thanks for the tips on the wheelie bar, I'm a modder at heart so won't have a problem making one, but a youtube vid would be interesting and nice sourcing of parts

ok bud al see what i can do ok mate the sv2 will fit in aswell bud if you run a 14t pinion gear it will be plenty fast enough and cos your on a 4600kv it will have bags of tourque mate have you got the link cable for the esc as you will defo need to turn down the start power cos otherwise it will just bend the wheelie bar with the speed the front wheel will come up

Good to know the sv2 fits, a field card is on my wish list, but for now I use a sensitive finger and throttle expo

av got the core rc steering damper on it bud it was well worth the investment

[Matty221133]

these are the upgrades i have done

this is the head set upgrade well worth investing in if ya going to be jumping it

oil filled front forks these are alot better than the stock ones

hard rear shock spring which is also needed for jumping

wheelie bar kit is also needed if you put a brushless system in it

slipper clutch is a good thing to have if your jumping because it will stop your chain stretching and stop ya stripping spur gears

this is the brushless system i have got in the bike

also i have a set of slick tyers on it and a 12t pinnion

very nice upgrades mate.

Just bought one off Ebay, it comes with the upgraded front forks, slipper clutch, steering damper and the supermotad tyres.

No electrics, so ideal for me to put my SV2 system in

woo hoo just need picks man and a running vid  when ya get in make sure to take the back wheel apart and check everything is good and pack the bearings with grease an all it will on take 20 mins and it will make all the parts last 10 times longer

[Matty221133]

also turn the slipper nut all the way in then back it off about 1/4 of a turn and ya will be good to go

[Isle of Wight Basher]

Woo Hoo indeed, pics and vid will be forthcoming

Cheers for the advice matey, I'll be doing a full rebuild as soon as I get it and will replace the screws with hi-tensile hex heads, I always do this to any new model I get (unless it's a kit of course),

Then it'll be time for extreme action dude (forgive me I'm already getting all Red Bullish), I've various beaches, skate parks, downs land and hill climbs on my Island that are ideal for abusing it on.

Just about to peruse the manual, so the fun begins now
