Thanks, I'm real proud of his work. We're getting ready for the outdoor 1/8 season. My eb48 has a paint job that matches my ET. Very soon my sct410 will have the same paint scheme for the opening day of races. Look sharp run fast, that's what we're shooting for any way...hehehe I'll have no excuse for not performing well. I'm running 3 classes with top of the line equipment(Tekno), now it's just a matter of relaxing and letting all the practice work for me...I'm not a poor loser but I hate losing!!! LOL

I just looked outside and it's snowing hard and according to the weather channel it's blowing between 50 and 60mph. Man this sucks! I ran one of my truggies in the snow this afternoon, fun but way too cold. I needed my snow mobile suit on, it was way to cold for street clothes. Still fun though....hehehhehe

I agree. You don't need a bunch of spares. I would spend money on tuning parts like springs, pistons, oils and tires. I have a ton of tekno parts that just sit. The two things I would say to get are a spare set of shock shafts and a set of hing pins. Thats about it.

HA! Thats great to hear. Although the only reason id like to have a few extra spurs is because human error can destroy them lol aka me setting up a noob mesh. Appreciate the advice once again.

Currently thinking of buying a few extra pinions and spurs thats about it. Hinge pins like the good sir said below. What else what else?

Thing is im not in the US, and a buddy of mine will be bringing everything I order after the semester (Beginning may). thats the only reason im making a "list" of spares in the first place. So any suggestions you guys might have DO let me know! Cheers

If your over seas and it hard to get parts I would almost suggest to just buy a second kit if you can afford it. If not then the usual suspects arms, shock towers, cvds, bearings, spur gears, front and rear hubs and maybe some wheel hexes or the pins that go in the hexes. Someone will probably post more. I still would say get and extra kit. It would probably be cheaper.

No I can't really afford a second kit at this point just for spares. I'll be spending about 1300/1400 on this kit and related equipment as it is and I dont think I can lay out another 600.

I'll go with the usual suspects, thanks

I see those are the proline wheels/tires that have a 1/2 inch offset. I was just wondering the other day how far wide they would look if mounted on an et. Would you mind getting a shot from up top so we can see how wide the stance is? It would be MUCH appreciated!!

Does anyone know when Tower will have these back in stock? They seem to have the best price when you use the gold member discount.
