What Ive done:

-TLR alum top plate
-TLR Clamping hexs
-TLR alum R diff inserts
-TLR 2.0 style batt Mount & thumb screws
-Hot Racing motor mount
-Hot Racing alum spindles
-Tekno SCTE rear Outdrives & CV axles
-Avid bearings
-Jammin transponder mount
-RPM rear bumper mount
-XRay diff Washers
-HPI 2mm hex diff screws
-Added larger sway bar capture screws bc the stock ones strip the hole.

I broke a rear body mount, that didnt affect anything really. The big issue is making sure you SHIM the rear diff properly. If you do not you can run the risk of having the rear pinion bearings blow out and take the whole rear diff with it. Ive seen it happen 3 times already.

Besides that, one chassis dent I pounded out. The rear edge of the chassis wears fast. The A Arms get ovaled out pretty fast. Nothing major. Tiny tweak in an axle shaft, slight bend but isnt affecting performance.

Shocks & pistons are great. Springs suck, but we know that already. Way too soft. Stripped 1 wheel nut last week. Dont overtighten stand off mount nuts, they will snap.

Outdrives are wearing good, no excessive slop anywhere. Keep an eye on your king pins up front, make sure the set screws stay tight.
