Stock still best for racing, all others have a skid that will mess up ride height. just keep a spare handy, you won't get a DNF with a broken bumper.

I broke 1 of the 4 on my second race with the truck. You might check if your body is too tight. Oval out the body holes a little to give the body some play to relieve an tension on the mounts. ...

Hey Harold, you don't need to upgrade much. I put the STRC towers on mine. The only other change I made was the lightened outdrives, the stock ones wore out really quick. I'm going to upgrade...

+1, I tried to glue on for the hell of it and screwed it up. I just coat the insert in grease, press it in and that is enough seal. No leak issues. I do hate those square things and tiny washers.

I typically use a 13t or 14t pinion on my 4600. For a small/med track (20-30 sec lap times), I use a 13t. For a large track (30-60 sec lap times), I use the 14t.

+1, Short course bodies seem to take more abuse than some other bodies. Shoo goo is a necessity. I have had my truck for just a few months, about to paint my second body. My stock body still...

+1, I have only had my SCTE a few months and am using the stock chassis. I was able to get into the A-main at PNB with a pretty much stock SCTE. The only change I made was to use STRC alum towers,...

I use the castle bullets to connect my motor. The connectors do have a little heat. I use the velcro straps to keep them secure. Seems fine so far. I switch out to put a slower motor in when I...

I ordered some and used the 3 day UPS this time. I ordered from the batch before Xmas using the cheaper Swiss mail option and I think it took 6 weeks for them to arrive.

Replace the bullet connectors with a 4mm bullet, Castle and protech make good ones. If you run with the loose connectors it might melt part of the battery.

Track does make a difference, several of the tracks I run at are a hard clay that feel almost like concrete, tend to be a really abrasive blue groove. Those tracks love to eat tires and chassis.

I gave up on skids for that reason on my nitro, they end up doing more damage ripping the screws out of diff cases. Just plan on buying a new chassis once or twice a year depending on how abrasive...

Maybe some body posts, set of arms, shock ends, turnbuckle ends and a spur. This would cover some of the stuff that normally wears out and you would use even if it didn't break. I also like to keep...

I run the STRC shock towers, they were a good upgrade. Since the losi graphite towers don't offer any different holes to change the geometry, I figured these were just as good and less expensive.
