front/rear sway bars
aka grid iron tires
de racing wheels
flanged serrated wheel nuts
yellow front/rear springs
shock o-rings (forgot the name but they are the smoother ones)
rear hubs
steering/castor block
14 tooth 32p pinion
ht slipper pads
factory team wheels hexes
62/60 spur 32p
cva rebuild kit
st racing front a arm mount
st racing rear a arm mount "3-2"
factory team cvs pin retainer
st racing motor mount plate
factory team shock pivot ball set
ofna aluminum servo horn 25t spline
novak 550 heatsink
differential o-ring set

Anything else anyone can think of before I complete this order. Not into major racing so the light weight parts are not needed.
Thanks

I've been away from electric RCs for the past 2-3 years and been doing nitro during that time, so I have no clue of the recent advancements of BL motors nowadays.

If I understand correctly, AE suggests to use 32P spur/pinion gears for 550 motors and 48P for 540. My problem is that I already purchased a 13T pinion for my kit and now I'm not sure if the motor I have is a 550 or 540. If my motor is in fact a 540, do I have to buy 48P pinion gear that can fit a 5mm shaft or can I still use the 32P spur/pinion gear set-up?

Thanks in advance for the help and pardon me for asking silly questions.

I think it has been talked about before in here , My rear transmission shaft has developed a good bit of play, I think it may be from before I got the clutch basket and the slipper was slipping and heated up the shaft which will start to melt the case if it gets bad enough I guess. I guess the question will be who is going to make an aluminum case for the truck?

Has anyone tried it yet?
