Since RC8* share the same front/rear carriers and steering blocks, I was thinking it'd be a good idea to upgrade to Hot-Racing aluminium counterparts (front hubs, rear hubs, steering block). I've had very positive experience with HR products so far, and imagine their quality holds for their AE upgrades. I would have preferred to go all King Headz, but KH don't seem to make front hubs

Other upgrades I have planned so far are DE Racing mud guards and T-Bone Racing front and rear skids/bumpers.

Should I be worried about stock turnbuckles and hinge pins, or upgrade to Lunsford straight away? What about shock towers? The stock ones are 5mm 7075, so I don't imagine they'll break or bend easily.

Drive shafts are a problem... My E-Revo's axles stopped braking only after I've installed $150 5mm spring steel bearing-articulated CVDs. Are there any similar upgrades for RC8T?

Thanks.
