Seems like Exotek is always the one jumping on all the opportunity in the RC World. Suprised that they have taken this long! Maybe it is ultimately a sign of what AE isn't doing!

Been missing st since I sold my Durango. Considering this or xt2 for carpet.

What spares are needed to keep on hand?

I would be running 3 gear trans with gear diff for sure.

Anyone think the t6 will be out in next month or so before winter season?

Get a spare front chassis plate, the Aluminum Steering Rack, and a spare set of front and rear arms, steering knuckles, caster blocks and rear hubs, a set of cv bones and a top shaft and idler gear.. The only thing I've eve broken on mine was a front arm, and steering block

You'll probably not need most of that stuff, but I hate being unprepared

T5M is a very durable truck and unless you wreck it HARD it is tough to break. Like I have said before I have gotten all of the stuff from the T5M converted to work with the B6 Platform. Only think that I am really missing is a longer chassis otherwise the conversion truck is pretty good with the laydown on carpet I think!

Aluminium rack for T5m/SC5M is history. I can not find an AE one and STRS and JConcepts have discontinued them.

I have been for 2 weeks and keep coming up empty. But I will continue. Well low and behold found some searching for steering instead of steering rack. Thank you Scott R. Found them like 7 pages deep. lol You would think company's would keep making parts until the next ST/SC was close.
