SB-V1 upgrades
Just bought a brand new boxed SB-V1 for a ridiculously cheap price and it went together like a dream. I am very happy with the quality of about 70% of the car, with the rest being ok/iffy.
The priority upgrades I can see (besides spare parts) are - motor mount shocks slipper clutch turnbuckles hub bearings sway bars possibly the carbon upper deck Is there anything else a "must upgrade"? Also, my Lipo's wont fit between the battery guards, is there a way to get it to fit? Its a couple of mm to long and wide.

Have a look through DMS-Racing's Academy parts. If no joy, then go to Stormer Hobbies in the US.

I found the diff balls and plates to SUCK.
The steering needs some mods to have full throw, and the car needs to be wider in the front to turn better. |

Hello
What mods to the steering. I assume grind away gearbox sides to give a bit more movement. I'm using aluminium arms not the plastic kit ones, they look similar. Are there any setups posted anywhere? Keith |

i have one of these too, got plenty of spares,
with the diff plate issue, it is solved by installing the slipper clutch front toe plates seem really weak to me, those are the only part i've broken... although thoses are also the parts which seem impossible to find.... rather than a carbon upper deck it is easier to just mount two stock frp decks on top of eachother Their a good car, even if the gearing options are a little limited |

What parts do you need to fit a slipper, also does anyone have any diff parts to sell? diff gear and pinion.
