i also bought a Axe Cobra X1 Evo Buggy Motor w Axe 2050 Exhaust for $299. servo at 1/2 price . i paid $99. and a few other things to get this car rolling again.

overall i think i spent just under $600.

the thought process was. every part i have spent $$ on today i can put onto my next car or keep as a spare. if i decide to buy new. i can get that at any time and still have a car rolling.

run blue springs on the front and silver on the rear if track is rough and white on rear if its smooth. also make sure to run short shock ends on the shocks. and the shock mounts at the top run the shorter ones or you'll bend the shock shafts. the shock springs will rub/touch the upper arms a little, but dont worry about it.
