I just picked up a new re-released kit (actually heading over to the PO in a few minutes to pick it up literally). I can't wait to get started on the build. It will be a return to 4wd for me as well as off road racing, from the late 80s.

Considering the age of this car, as well as the obvious fact that they not only are still competing but still winning, what does the bare kit need in the way of upgrades? I'm happy that my recently built XXX BK2 really needed very few things out of the box to be where the team guys have them set up. I have heard this car is even closer, out of the box.

Also, I have been having difficulty tracking down Losi shock oils in half weights. Does anyone know who carries them online?


Oh, and let me throw the first plea out there to Losi to pull out a short run Limited, Limited Edition Class 8 Ford truck body like they used to have for this chassis.
