Ran the +1.5 rear hinge pin holder yesterday for the first time. Used 4* of toe, it was great! The buggy handled so much better! The rear no longer stepped out quickly under heavy braking and I was able to get on power sooner while exiting corners. I am surprised how much this little part affected the handling of the buggy.

Yeah, the +1.5 is an awesome addition. A must have for this vehicle

This buggy is pretty durable....I'd say an extra spur gear, one set of arms front and rear and a set of front shock shafts......

That should get you started. I dont have any spares......Had the buggy out for about three racedays and 3-4 practice days.....over a month or so and knock on wood no breakage!

I bought a jconcepts hi-flow body from all the rave reviews about how it was so durable. About a month of racing later the entire front end tore off and i had to RE-SHOO GOO the body. I normally don't crash, but a couple of times it landed pretty nasty. Ie; when the truck would nose-down and i can't get it back up, when i parachute and it lands flat on it's back. I'd label the body medium thickness as a opposed to and ftw body being very thick. It might not be because of a few crashes. A friend of mine told me how "bulldog adhesion promoter" can make the body brittle. It kinda of made sense as when my driving improved, my body's lasted the same amount of time. I tell you what though, jconcepts body thickness is like a phone-book compared the the parma bodies.

As much as the driveshaft bothers you, you should buy another car. This is the third video you have about the driveshaft.

Thanks for the opinion.... "SLS7474"

I was demonstrating that the aluminum driveshaft does indeed run closer to true than the stock driveshaft. Which is a good thing.

....and I'll buy and drive whatever i want.

.....I'll also feel free to exercise my right to express myself as I see fit. Notice I don't hide behind screen names or tell others what they should and shouldn't do.......

...if you dont like my vids.....dont watch em.....

I watched your videos because you posted them. And after the first two it really seemed like the driveshaft was a Big issue for you. You said you were thinking of buying the Losi or Kyosho (I think ) to replace this car and the driveshaft was one of the major reasons. Sorry if my opinion upset you but you suggested that you were going to buy another car in in the last video. It's ironic how you want people to watch your opinion of the car but there opinion upsets you. Also the crybaby symbol was not cool..

Haven't beat on it yet but so far it seems to be a great buggy. Doing some back to back with my agama and I must say the box setup is a great start for my driving and conditions.
I can only imagine the nitro versions will be as nice.
Anyway here's a pic with the JC body and wing.

Sadly the stock body is still clear and uncut. Going to toss some rattle can on it and try it out this coming weekend.
