I put on 3 layers of fiberglass sheetrock tape and shoe goo to the front. Plus I'm going to make a cover for the top of the shock tower out of high density foam. Hopefully that will help the body live a bit longer. I'm sure somebody like Jconcepts will get on board and make a stronger body that fits the chassis.

Pro-line....stay away! Love your quality, but you'll just make another bulldog. Enough with that, already. Come up with something new.
If you're worried about stopping, all of the popular ESCs paired with good motors have more than enough stopping power. The reason for going with disk brakes is to adjust front/rear brake bias.

the body looks like a skinny elephant seal. When it's on the vehicle, it make the truggy look like a quad copter with no propellers. The more I look at it, the less it offends me, but I doubt I'll ever like it. I can't wait to see what the aftermarket will offer. Other than style, it also seems it doesn't hold up very well, so there is a need for aftermarket for sure.

But yes well placed drywall mesh and shoegoo goes a long way!

Metoo, you're dead on. The nose does look like one of those giant seals. That's ok I prefer to think of it as a fist...Hehehehehe This truck is so popular in such a short time you know there will be some really awesome bodies made for it, just a little more time.

I'm not much of a 1/10 fan but being a Tekno nut I had to get a sct410. Stuff a Tekin HD 4300kv motor in it and it pulls nearly has hard as a 1/8 buggy. Do your self a favor and save your nickels and dimes and get both, they're both awesome imo!

I don't have the cash flow to have 3 TEKNO and a 6yr with a rtr.Hahaha wish I did. But the buggy is great and the truggy has to be as good!!!! I don't know if I want 4s or 6s lipos all the tekin setups run a 2000kv truggy motor with 4s.

long run times and from what I've heard the electronics run cooler too.
