I have the carbon rear shock mount with the moulded wing mount set. I enlarged the original holes in the wing from when it had the wire mount, and it could do with moving back a bit imo.

So built the XLS and all the electrics are in and I’m just waiting on the body back from being painted. I have noticed the that the steering seems a bit flimsy with the two screws from the top deck wiggling about so my question is are there any upgrades for this or mods people did back in the day ?
Cheers
Stu.

I found that straight out of the box I couldn't tighten up the screws fully so the screws were "wiggling", if I did then it just locked the steering up. I had to shave a bit off the plastic parts so I could tighten the screws up fully and its been fine since.

Same here - much easier to sort fit before assembling top deck to chassis too

I have run an 8.5 sp motor with no issues , but I have gone down to a 13.5 now because of the lack of weight and I want it to feel more like an older light buggy rather than a fat heavy power full new one if you see what I mean.
