So learning or have experience
Modify or stock
What to spend less money changing parts? Xray

On my tamiya car i ran a hard foam bumper with a wide plastic bottom piece. this helps save many many parts.

What is different on the 417 C-hub to the one used on the 416??
I am running my 416 for a bit more then 2 year now but only broke a C-hub when i got hit at full lock in a full speed righthander.
I only replace them when they have exessive wear.
