- new shock ends
- alum servo arm
- center smart diff (why not, right?!)

Anything else?

If you want you can buy the shockends are let HH warranty them.

I would also change the stock wheel bearings as a few are blowing them. I just changed mine and 3 of the 4 smaller bearing were griddy after one club race outting.

I also switched to aka rims, the stock rims rub the knuckles a little too much for my liking.

Thanks for the bearing info..I have those in the cart, as well as 2 sets of AKA rims and I Beams and City Block tires.

One more thing, is the clutch the same as it was on the original 8ight? Just wondering as am going to order extra shoes (KHZ) and springs if so...I take it a 3x2 hump pack for the batt?

This 1600 will fit with no problems.

I used Avids. I would bet the old losi bearing would work, thats all i use to run with no problems.

Quick question for you guys who have been running this new 2.0. What starter box are you using?

Will this one work? http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/13246

Thanks
