This is a cool trick my Son Derek showed me. For servos and transponders, wrap the wire tight around a small screwdriver, hold it for few seconds and it will make a spring coil.

Here is the servo, transponder installed. The wires are not flopping all over, they stay coiled like this. Of course the transponder has velcro on the bottom, so I can swap it in and out of my trucks as needed. Those things are expensive, so I only have one that I use on all my racers. If you have a receiver with no extra plug, you need to get a Y and put it in the servo plug, then both the servo and the transponder will work. This receiver has a third plug for battery so the transponder goes straight in to it.

The stock tires are great for bashing around, but for racing I need some real race tires. I use Proline Edge on the front for just about everywhere I race, indoor or outdoor, glued up to the XTM rims.

For the rear, I use Proline Holeshots, at least a So Cal, that is what works on the hard pack clay. For outdoor tracks it is step pins or bowties.

In the battery tray I put a piece of duct tape on the ESC wire to hold it in the groove provided. That way the battery will not wear through it.

The stick pack battery fits so tight I cut a notch in the foam spacer. I run soldered matched packs for racing, and these NiMH 3000 packs from Hobby People for practice and bashing.

This is a shot of the truck with my race pack ready to race. Everything is neat and nothing flops around.

Time to adjust the slipper clutch. Many people get this wrong but it is very easy. I love the fact that they have a keyed slipper clutch in this truck. Very quality way to do it. The purpose of the slipper is two fold. One is saving your rear differential. The other purpose it has is to help you not spin out in turns when you get on the throttle. I use it mostly just to save the diff, not so much for stopping rear tire spin. I have seen to many races ruined by a over loose slipper so I trust my skill and trigger finger to not spin out. To adjust the slipper properly so it will save your rear diff I put a dot on the slipper plate with a sharpie. Now I can see it turn as I adjust the spring tension and test it.
