Have you contacted Associated directly? What did Rick say when you explained to him what you were looking to do?
the JR servo you mentioned is what I am running (or will be running I should say, its sitting on the bench) and its extremely fast in my T4. You should love it in the SC104x4. You will need a servo extension though.
Since this is a memorial car, have you thought of having someone make decals for it in honor of the fallen soldier? The guy who does the USVTA stuff does an excellent job, if you provide him the images he can pretty much create anything you want.

It sure is fun reading people talk about you like they know you... 
~And For everyone's information... My claim of 1% (I don't even know why I have to explain anything for 1%) is due to people buying my brace and seeing the performance and durability gain, thus AE seeing it not only for the Team Drivers... Thus the FT kit having it Standard... equating into my being apart of that revelation by a whopping 1%. Nothing else. Mind you, I also brought Mac and Marcus into it too, But you read as you want.
Oh and Marquee, Even when I harass newbies about reading the thread, I make very indepth lists for people with easily searchable topic headings for FT parts, Suggested Toolbox parts, and Suggested Mandatory Upgrades... Please be more gentle with me.
------------
Mantis, Good luck this weekend with that mod. Take some pics for us, I wanna be a shoulder on-looker. =P
I broke my Rear Body post this weekend, AND my first front bumper... (was trying to hit bumps into a double.
and beat the shit out of it, and it took it with a grin minus those scars)
Replaced the Bumper, and used some traxxas body washers to hold the body post on the nuts until the part comes in.
I love my Truck.

I have never driven this truck without a body but I did with a 2wd SC and it handled and flew alot better through the air.

I plan on driving around the Track a couple times with the underbody I chopped in half for the Chassis brace to see how I fair, It only makes sense the Truck handles like a buggy without that parachute pinned to it.
I chopped holes out of my stocker and it honestly didn't feel like a difference.

crazy thought...
I was just thinking, what about trying a front slipper mod? So that your rear slips based on direct input from the transmission.
One way to do it would be do the basic pin mod on the rear, then add another slipper plate set to the front shaft so the front pulley is on the slip side of the plate, and the other plate is keyed to the front shaft.
If you use really heavy sipper plates that could give you some more rotational mass at each end.

Cameron, I have those bearings sitting at the shop if you wanted to pick some up. I'm working on the mod tomorrow.
