Literally just bought one of these guys based off of all the reviews being good. Somewhat excited. Does anyone have one of these? And if so, any tips, upgrades I should do right away?

I have one and it's awesome. Only advise I can give u is to get a lot of spindle sets because they break really fast I've gone thru like 4 spindles already. And get front CVD's

I already got a spindle set with it. Gonna upgrade to the aluminum ones when they get back in stock. What about tires and wheels? Do you know if anything else will fit?

Well I don't believe they will do well on clay but we shall see. I will only be running this on clay. Need some clay tires

im actually planning to buy this for my son for 50% bash and 50% indoor clay track usage. is it a good option or you guys suggest 1/10 sct's? based on performance, parts availability and tire options

My tips:
#1. Google - if you do a search you will find tons of info on the Tacon vehicles.
#2. Order spindles because the stock ones break for most everybody, but the spares are a different design. Hopefully Tacon changed all of them by now.
#3. Get a couple of LiPos and a good charger if you don't already have one.
#4. Order a bunch of spare parts at a time to save on the outrageous shipping costs.

+1 on the spindles!!! Friend has one and it's pretty nice!!!! If you go to the Losi Mini 8 Truggy thread 1st post has a link to Pro-line on how to cut/mount full-size tires/foams on smaller wheels, that's probably gonna be your best bet to get actual clay tires on a thriller. Hope this helps!!!

I own 2 Thrillers. Had them for over a year now. Only had to replace 1 broken spindle (right side) but I have 5 sets for back up. I was a bit bummed because it took me over 2 months to get the replacements. Now I need new shells because I have thoroughly thrashed my 2 shells. Anyone considering these trucks should also buy an extra set of turnbuckles and/or turn down the steering dual rate. Because with complete servo extension the inside rims gouge the plastic turnbuckles. I'll post a picture when I get on my pc next week.

anyone have suggestion on shock oil for these trucks, got a couple of them a little over a week ago, have a 120' short course track in my back yard with a few jumps and a table top, trucks seem to bottom out on big air jumps

I have a truggy and went up to a 35 wt oil and was pleasantly surprised. I run mine at an 1/8th scale clay offroad track and it handles the jumps nicely.
