New to the 104

[alanlensman]

I've just got hold of a nearly new104 and wondered what mods are essential?

I've seen the rear motor/shorty conversion and I know the evo kit is also used a lot.
Is the longer wheelbase a better bet than swapping the motor round?

I run saddles so would prefer not to change cell type without good reason.

Get the chassis conversion as that apparently makes it better. I did but havent tried it yet, answer rc in the link below in my name tag sell the complete package and worth it

Most and myself are useing the saddle batteries set up, new evo set up really helps the buggy and calms it down, I'm useing the rear 25g Weighte, deffinitly use the yokomo blue prongs for the shocks there cheap and really help bud I think it's a brilliant buggy

Thanks guys. Cos I saved some money by getting a used roller, I had already considered getting the evo chassis pack. It'll get ordered in the morning!
I've seen some posts about kit springs being tight on the shocks? Mine seem ok and I'll look around for kyosho ones.
Extra weight still needed on the back end even with evo chassis?

I'm useing pink springs on the back blue on the front , deffinitly use the yokomo o rings in the shocks, I'm also useing +2mm hubs the buggy is very narrow if your on FB look to join sworkz racers forum for lots of info

It's not the springs that are tight it's the standard o-seals. Swap them for yokomo ones
