no aus distributer? that sucks.

even then, seems like too much. and it's going to be the heaviest buggy ever. extra set of arms? sure. shock towers? unheard of. all the extra spindles and camber blocks, plus the front kingpins? just go for the kingpins and rears while you're at it. i also recommend an associated diff screw/nut/thrust or associated-compatible, tungsten carbide + ceramic balls, and bleeder shock caps.

i would take the opportunity to stock up on all the fluids, too. shock oil, lubes, glue, motor spray, whatever

is this a new car? i wish i got 1 of those chassis protectors.

What do you mean my car going to be super heavy? What should I take out. I'm usin the hop ups that you guys and losi recommend. Should I take out the rear camber block? And yes I am from aus, we do have tlr stuff but it can be 2-3x more expensive.

I ordered even more than that. I wasnt sure about durablitly so I bought 2 of all suspention parts. My buggy is even hevier b/c I converted it to mid motor and added the weight kit. I think its a good idea to have track spares. I would actually suggest getting some hardware too. Like a screw kit, 8mm & 6mm ball studs, and bearings. you wont need the whole bearing kit b/c diff bearings and outer hub I havnt heard of going bad, but I have burnt out 4 inner rear bearings. Nothing sucks more than having to place an order for $4 bearing and pay $5 shipping. I end up buying $25 worth to get the free shipping from a-main.

Good luck and have fun

As far as i kniw tlr doesn't sell the pin on its own. I also have not seen a pin removal tool for a small pin like those found on a 1/10. They tend to last a really long time so i wouldnt stress too much besides you can buy just the cvd bone if you want. But by tye time the pin is very worn i would think the cvd joint would also be worn enough to consider getting a wjole new pair of drive shafts.

Its set up to one of the High-bite set ups on TLR, no broken arms.

is the trans shimmed up with minimum wheelbase? i can see that being stretched too far. i like long camber links for minimum camber gain and axle movement.

She is set up with what the manual says. Before I even tweaked anything, they were still so close to coming out.

Either you mounted your arms upside down or they sent you the wrong dog bones, take a pic.

Or let me see it if your racing the last nitro series race at the motodome.
