Well on mine it is full option but for the new N. Pedes I think the only worth while options are:
Better steering servo (Hitec 605BB)
Bearings for the wheels and hubs.
And the MIP Stinger exhaust.
Everything else is just window dressing and doesn't really help nearly as much as the above items.

steel out put yokes, would be a good investment, becouse with that horsepower and the jumping youll be doing it puts a lot of strain on the plastic ones.

hi all. not to step on anyones toes or anything.....but id stay away from the 605bb. i put one in my n-pede and barely brushed a table and it stripped the output gearshaft. so i put back the stock servo and it works fine. id put something like the futaba 9303 or something along those lines in it. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif

I own 8 so far and never had any problems.
RCCA uses them quite a bit in articles and never said anything about bad ones.
Maybe you got a bad one, or maybe the servo saver failed, or maybe that "tap" was a little harder than you realize. But one bad experience doen't mean that the entire product line is junk.
Either way, the Hitec are just as good as the way overpriced Futaba and Airtronics stuff, and one third the price.
