Damn I had some $ into that thing. I replaced the chassis, all control arms, shock towers, the bulkheads/braces with Graphite parts. All the turnbuckles, link-pins, shock-shafts, shock bodies, and ball-studs were Ti. I had MIP CVDs and a bunch of other crap too. I got over RC cars when I got into real ones though (I sold my XX-T to buy my SLP Resonator cat-back 😉 🙂 ). I wouldn’t mind getting back into them though, they were a lot of fun. But every time I have some $ to spend it’s like “RC car or parts for the real car… hmmm.” The real car wins hands-down every time. 😉 -TJ ---
