I don't know what exists for shock limiters, but back in the late 90's when I raced nitro stadium truck, we used to put a short length of fuel tubing over the shock shaft as a stop to keep from grounding the chassis. It worked well enough that I used it as a preferred setup racing 2wd on-road... no springs up front, just riding on fuel tubing... green springs in the rear and the whole truck was stuck to the ground. Might be worth a look if options are slim.

But I wasn't into RC so I thought they closed. Years and years and years later I found myself wanting to get into it and I looked for a local hobby shop and I found that RC madness was still only 10 minutes from my house! Lol I was so happy about it. Went over there and picked up a basher and now I'm like 5 grand into this crap lol. Most recently just picked up an LC b-12 as my first kit. Going to start running the carpet track soon!

(Maybe he will, but he's never had one -- always wanted one since his childhood.) I am completely lost with what's a good deal, what's not ... and obviously, since it'd be a first vehicle without knowing if he'd get into it as a hobby, I don't want to break the bank. Thanks for any help -- I truly appreciate it! (He'll probably just be using it outside, if that makes any difference ... not even sure if there are any tracks around here or if he even knows about tracks. Also, he's almost certainly not going to modify it in any way -- perhaps this is not the right stream to ask this in, since you all seem to be advanced! :-) Sorry if it's misplaced!)

Other options, depending on interest and your location, of you have rocks or parks with appropriate terrain, etc... check out videos of RC rock crawlers, there's some mini ones of those too.... not fast, bit run a good while on a charge and may not be as likely to break....

The SX107 servo IS a problem...it's a piece of garbage. That's why it was almost always one of the (if not THE) first things replaced in the Capra - plastic gears, slow, underpowered...and, worst of all, NO 'overload protection'. In other words, it's SUPER easy to "kill".

I’ve never had an issue with them in any of my bone stock Mini-T’s or B. Elsewhere yes and it’s an absolute no go in this roller after only holding up for 3 laps. I have a good servo recommendation for this car in my video description.

@@rcdriver The 640T is also what I initially replaced the SX107 with. In the end, I replaced that with a Powerhobby 59MG - slightly slower (0.11sec) & more powerful (80oz/in) at 6V, and equally fast & even more powerful (95oz/in) at 7.4V (the 640T maxes out at 6V). Plus, it's slightly heavier (20g vs 13g) then the 640T, giving the front a little extra weight, helping to bring the Mini-B closer to a 50/50 front/rear balance. I should mention that I've also replaced both shock towers with carbon fiber shock towers (stronger & less flex than the stock towers, plus helps to lower the vehicle's CoG).

@@robbryan3044 , Are you still happy with the Powerhobby? I just ordered a roller and need a servo. Was is drop in or did you need to modify anything? Were you able to use the Losi Alum arm or did you need to use a plastic from the servo kit?

@@RayBMaven Still running the PowerHobby servo, and no problems. As for the servo horn, I was originally using the included horn, but I did have to use the shortest length hole, I had to enlarge the diameter of said hope to and I had to shorten the length of the horn. A could months after I installed it, I started working (mostly via email, but also via a could phone calls) with PowerHobby's lead engineer, developing an adapter. I'm still using the 3D-printed prototype...but, the finished version should either come with the servo, or be available separately (I know they told me it would be included, but I have no confirmation).

Hello, Did you have any problem with the aluminum servo horn not fitting the servo? Or with the motor holes not lining up with the motor mount? Did you stick with the stock 18T pinion gear or change it and if so what size? Thanks
