Except shock and diff fluids. I haven't done enough reading on that topic yet.
I plan to experiment, so I'm gonna get some shock pliers.
Soon I'll have the basics for building em n fixing em.
Offroad Tuning wise: I guess fluids and a ride height tool are first on my list.
I know wheels and tires are probably the most important, but that's all I know.
Again thanks everybody.
Ride height is a big one for offroad. Picking up a cheap camber gauge would not hurt either unless you go a full setup station route. Tire choice is key, but that is something you learn from others at your track and not so much the internet.

The hobby shop guy said Hudy didnt always put their name on everything...
bwaaahhahahaaaaaa... Hudy doesn tahhah haahahahaaaa always put their name on everything. no way!
Im sending them back. I'll add a pic tonight.
The Hudy body scissors do not look like any other brand that I have seen. Should be pretty easy to spot a fake.
Sounds like you are well on your way!
