What surprises am i forgetting when upgrading my 14mm shocks to the new version 16mm big bores? Do i need anything else or do the big bores just replace the 14mm stockers?
I have a E converted SC8, not sure how to tell what version it is.
I'll be looking at some other upgrades down the road. Not sure how much of the new SC8.2e is a direct fit. Wouldn't mind upgrading to some of the newer stuff.
I was also thinking of rebuilding this on the Tekno V4 chassis... Worth it?

Although, I would love the threaded shocks from the FT SC8e 
They are just so expensive IMOhttp://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...9&I=LXVVG6&P=K

Just remember, same application as RC8Be v1 if u ever run across those also. v2 are shorter due to their LCG design in the A-Arms.

Oh that might work, plus i have the FT tuning springs still from my former RC8Be.
I will eventually break down and buy the FT 16mm shocks, i cant stand preload spacers.
Good to know the only "really needs" is the T-bone front bumper though, i was ready to dump a couple hundred on this thing lol.
If i decide to replace the chassis, is there any real benefit to swap over to the Tekno V4 chassis? $100 vs $130 i would be almost as tempted to spend that extra $30 for the Tekno just for the weight balance and easy pinion access.

Awesome, I'll definitely be back with more questions as i go.
Bought it used, so i am going to go through a full tear down. I picked up new carrier bearings already.
Plan on buying RPM arms to have here for if/when i ever manage to break the stockers.
Also have a set of DE Rear mudguards to install (do they work on the RPM arms?)
It has a steel spur, i will swap out for Plastic, not a fan of steel on steel as it is really noisy IMO.
Plan is to run 4s on a MMM 2200 in here. Probably somewhere in the area of 20/46 (ish)

Just to Clarify a point above, the RC8.2E buggy shocks will NOT work on the V1 SC8 correct?

haha good to know i have a couple Guru's here 
Started tear down tonight, not a huge amount. Just getting it ready for some parts.
I love how easy these come apart. Makes me wonder why the majority of my fleet is traxxas stuff.
Task of the night was cleaning the Rollcage. And i can see it still isnt clean haha
