    For the noble with the evos you need to get into the sub trim settings and adjust the levels. I was having that issue until a fellow racer helped me set up my remote. I no longer have that issue. So far I have been loving my Noble Nb4 love that I can have 1 remote for multiple mini z models.

    You mean the new rumored 1\7 slash? Or the current ultimate? The UDR is a different beast....with the dual shocks and solid rear axle. You won't get the scale suspension movement that the UDR is famous for with an independent rear end...so it depends what you're looking for. Scale realism or better handling?

    Hey there. My dad and I just bought RB10’s and have the same problem. It’s actually the wrong screws. We also bought 2 new Pro2 SC10’s which use the same exact brace and screws (#31509). The screws on the SC10 however have a larger head that actually covers the hole and holds the pin in. I went ahead and bought the STRC hinge brace anyways and those are perfect. Keeps more dust out too. Thanks for the video ! If you look at the hinge pin screws on the back side of the front arms those should have the right size head. Same number 31509.

    I just got one, same body. I was looking forward to racing. There’s a huge indoor rc place that has a couple mini z tracks, but I found out they don’t have organized racing any more. I plan on still running the track for fun and practice. They do have a lot of other organized racing, so I just ran out and spent about $700 to put together a 1/10 scale Associated RB6.4 carpet buggy. Do you plan on ever building something like an Atomic or GL Racing Mimi z kit?
