Just a couple of things
Sorry for being the annoying newbie, just a couple of things 1, who do I pay to become a member and what do I get with it? 2) steering servo upgrade, would it make the car handle better? What's the differnce between one that's says 3kg and 22kg? Sorry again.

The first one is easy - just turn up any Sunday we are racing (like this one) and ask in race control. Failing that ask Birdy on here as he handles membership (and pretty much everything else for that matter).
What does it get you? Well it costs less to race at our meetings is the main thing, but also you get a discount at a number of stores and the code to access our rostrum for practice on non-race days. So it doesn't take a lot to make it worth joining. In servo terms, for 1/10th speed is more important than torque. Admittedly 3kg is a bit low - 8-10kg is fine and you certainly don't need 22kg! What you do want is a speed of around 0.1s or lower, metal gears and digital.

Savox, core-rc, hitec, futaba, ko propo, depends on budget, Savox are quite reliable and don't cost too much around £45 but you can go crazy and spend over £150, just avoid slower servos and low profile ones and you should be fine.

Hi, yes you could but I would have to leave it to someone with more experience than me explain if it would affect the boost and timing functions, I'm not sure if they would still function the same or not, and how the motor would behave running at a lower capacity than produced to run at. I took my advice from the guys at Bolton Model mart and seems so far to have been about right I run a cat k2 with a 6.5 started off with zero boost and have slowly increased it once I felt comfortable.

Your nuts if your planning on putting that 3.5t in your buggy mate
Your probably better going the other way and running a 7.5t and cranking that up with your esc should you need to as opposed to using a 3.5t and slowing it down However if you do put that 3.5t in I want to see it go

Yup, his expression would be priceless, as you zip past him upside down with bits flying off the car.
I've got a 4.5 i put in my 4wd "for a bit of a laugh". Can pop wheelies at will, even at the end of a 20+ m straight........... |

Lol yeah a 3.5T isn't a good idea, I've seen a speed passion 6.5T on eBay and someone on here is selling a thunder power 6.5T . I've no idea which is better and what esc I would need to compliment it.

4wd I'd say at least 120a. Motors wise I'm not a fan of the speed passion due to the bullet connectors rather than direct soldering onto the motor it's just one more thing to fall off

Yeah, i use the SP bullets on road, but offroad i've had them pop off once or twice. Also find giving them a little squeeze helps.

I used the Hobbykings 120a esc in my 4wd as a bit of a stop gap and it had a 5.5t motor on the end of it and it performed well. I also agree with the above about the bullet connections on motors, not a fan of them myself and would always prefer a soldered connection as one less thing to worry about
