I can't find that at amainhobbies website, do you know if they sell it? For some reason I can't use the search function on their site, I get the big site blocked page from my work. I can browse their site, just not search.

I found the shock rebuild kit. I plan on ordering it next week when I order some other goodies like diff lubes and some other staples.

Here is what I went with on this order.

Dynamite 5 Piece Standard Nut Driver Set
Dynamite 5 Piece Standard Hex Driver Set
Team Losi F/R CV Driveshafts (2): 8B
Team Losi Aluminum Servo Saver Arm (2.0)
Team Losi 8IGHT Screw/Nut Assortment Box
Racers Edge Mini Body Clips (10)
Racers Edge Easy Grip Body Clips (10)
Deans Ultra Plug (1 pair)

I also ordered three Turnigy 5000mAh 4S 25C Lipo Packs as well.

Looks like you got everything covered. One more thing, if I were you, I would get some good quality velcro and velcro the sides of your body to the plastic mud guards on the chassis. With the 8ight body, either the front or the rear body mounting holes go after 2-3 runs. The velcro helps to keep the body from coming off. I stick the rough end to the mud guards and the softer side to the body. I also put the blue masking tape on top of the paint where I would put the soft side of the velcro. It'll keep the paint from peeling off. In fact, I normally put blue masking tape anywhere the paint might rub against something. As of now, I only use 1 body clip to keep the front mounting hole on the body from coming up. I have the velcro along the rear.

The turnigy packs are great. I order 2 more 5s packs 5000 mah for only 50 bucks a pop 2 weeks ago.

Don't know what your mini body clips are for. I am guessing a different car?

Thanks, I'll pick up some velcro. I got the mini clips for the receiver box and I thought something else in there used some small clips. If not they were only a buck or so.

Look in the instructions for screw sizes and order them from mcmaster for the price of a losi 8 pack you can get a box of 50. The front right and rear left lower shock screws will unscrew themselves ans the arms move. Lunsford sells some pricy lefthand screws to fix the problem. I replace the button head screws with capheads and drill them for safty wire to keep them in place.

Oh yeah, and don't forget to put some velcro in your battery tray. I use the rough side on the battery and the soft side in the tray. It keeps the battery from slipping around and also keeps the front part of the battery tray from breaking. If your car ends up like mine, you just end up using 2 body clips. One for the radio tray and just one for the front body mounting hole. I actually ended up removing the rear body post and I just have velcro holding the body down in the rear. It's never come loose to this point. I'm with you though, I tend to throw in 99 cent purchases when I order stuff online, whether or not I need it. haha

Thanks for the tips guys, appreciate it.

I'm done spending money for a few days, I promise. Other than ordering a few lipo's for the road car I'm calling it quits!
