yup I am ordering a new lipo, some new drive shafts, a new body, new tires, and a new front bumper and bulk head combo, and a rear bumper. that is when I get enough money to order it all.

You should check out the proline pro-2 bumpers they are pretty sweet in my opinion.

The drive shafts were kind of scenery for me mine were worn down so much that the pins kept on popping out an eventual the one on the left cracked and was no longer usable.

also do you think the chassis savers are good or even worth having? I haven't had a problem with my chassis yet but If allot of people are than I will probably look into those.

If you get the rpm rear skid plate you don't need the chassis saver. I run with the chassis saver and a stock traxxas skid.

Well, you can have both but you will have to do some modifications and drilling.

The rpm skid plates come with a post you screw into to secure it better. it's location and the chassis saver are in the same spot.

Also you'll want to check into the strc hingepin kit. One word, locknuts.


One more minor thing, it was recommended to me to get the rpm bearing carriers (which I did) so there is some rebound in the flex. I still have the strc casters and couldn't be happier.

B2Bad, when I was young I had two paper routes and I swept sidewalks at my school. I've always had at least two jobs since I a was a ten-year-old. I am retired now . . . oh wait, I still manage properties. I know that life has changed not necessarily for the better. Adults have a hard time finding employment nowadays. Old man rant over.

Yea... I have always found odd jobs to do since I was about 10 or so, its a great way to make money. That is the main source of income for me, I actually have to go shovel some sidewalks now because it just snowed and if I do at least 10 today for $5 each I will have $50 so then I can get all my planned parts and then some.

Also you cant get a paper rout anymore because you have to go to collage for that and the school wont hire kids to do thin because they dont trust us enough because the kids who dont take anything seriously screw around all the time. end of story our government sucks and we have to evolve and find better ways to make money now.
