Car is ridiculously good. Out of a full heat of 4wd at ocrc I managed to win by .115 seconds over a 100% sponsored AE/JConcepts driver. And i beat him straight up setting a new track record. Only person to do a 19 second lap on the layout. Needless to say he stopped saying his b44 was better than the xray after that

So on to the serious stuff. I know that exotek makes high grade shit. No argument there. But in your opinion of the following after market parts. Which are must haves, like to haves and unnecessary. Drive boots are a must and are going on the car as I type this, hexes to run ae, kyosho rims are a must. Aluminum steering stuff. Like to have? Or unnecessary? Aluminum shock caps. This is the big one. Kind of expensive. I'm sure they are top notch. But my gut is telling me unnessesary. My logic behind it is this. Carbon towers, plastic shock caps. Something has got to give. And I am willing to accept the cap giving before a $40.00 dollar tower. Whaduya stink?

Tech Master
iTrader: (15)
Must Haves:
Dust boots
Alum CVD Caps
Various spring & oils
Practice time
Nice to Haves:
Alum bleeder shock caps - $40 for Exotek is a deal. Xray OEM is $80.
Smokem Racing 3.5mm cf shock towers (extra camber holes)
Avid pistons
Bling for bling's sake:
Aluminum knuckles, steering bridge, rear hubs etc.
@jpcopeland - I'm not sure how you figure that a plastic bleeder cap & a cf tower, one or the other will break in a crash. To me, the plastic caps screw strips fairly easily, so I bought the alum caps - best thing ever. Not a must have, but a really, really nice to have upgrade.
