Quick question about the stock box contents: does it come with the 5th 'spare' wheel which can be mounted on the back?

Default Any mods

I have a dbxl and I want to make it as dependable as possible... what changes have you guys done to get it there. I heard 5ive t shocks are better? What about aluminum upgrades? Is there tires and rims that are harder then the stocks that will fit? What shock and diff fluid consistency are you guys running? Thanks for all the help

I still have plans to drill a hole where it goes over the line up peg in the clutchbell brace... put a threaded hole in the CB brace and put a screw in to it to stiffen up the center

How well does swapping to 5ive front shocks at all 4 corners work compared to the stock DBXL shocks with a spring change?

5ive shocks just work better, they are easier to tune. You use proper shock weight oil instead of heavy 3k like the stock shocks, also spring/piston options are almost endless, I run stock pistons, Losi red springs and 35wt oil F&R
