RE: Rally Cars
I'm going to say the 4-tec is BAD NEWS. If you really want a rally machine, I would say get a used tc3 roller off ebay, and modify it to perform offroad. The tc3 is a good car, it just cant keep up with brand new racers like the pro4 and the TB EVO IV. My friends got one, still bone stock, but he drives it like a chicken with it's head cut off, that thing has taken more abuse than my stadium truck, and all hes had to replace it a melted diff.

RE: How do you get the bulkhead off?
If you remove the front brace and look down you will see a tiny set screw in the middle of the bulkhead where the pin connects it to the chassis. You just have to back that little screw out a little and push the pin out.

RE: Servo help
You need to replace the gears inside the servo, or one of them at least. Or you could buy a nicer servo with metal gears, i often found that the standard one didnt have enough torque to turn the car, and just about any metal geared one is going to perform much better than a standard one.

First off, Been there Wrecked that, please try to stay within the forum rules. (flaming of rustler08) I would appreciate it and i'm sure others would too. Secondly, I just noticed that you can adjust the rear toe-in/out with a trunbuckle. Thats really cool. Also, are there any other cars that run a saddle pack thats up front? Think it has trouble keeping the rear end in place?
