Front bumper, wheels and you have a 50/50 chance of stripping the hub when you remove the nut. They must use some kind of super tough glue at the factory because it seems like about half of the original wheel mounts I remove strip the threads off when the nut comes loose. The shocks have brittle shafts, probably harder than .... oh well, you know. A pair of them complete is 21 dollars. You can buy shock parts, but every time I broke one, there was no getting the shock apart. Do not buy any hinge pins or control arms, you will put an S bend the chassis plates first. If you hit something that hard, you will need the long center drive shaft. Really, as long as you do not hit anything, they are really tough. BB
It is a little after 3:00AM and I just finished Beaker's truck, it now has a Hot Bodies header, an Ofna 086 pipe and and Axial 32 on it. I thought I was done and then the throttle servo was too weak to open the Axial, so I moved the steering servo over and put a 144 oz steering servo on. We have action now. When I get up later today, I will go try out my newly restored to service Terror.  Nothing quite like that first tuneup and drive.  This 32 has been on a savage and developed a leaky front bearing. It has a Picco bearing now and is ready for some abuse! BB
Just for your enjoyment! Front to rear, Orion 26 (Picco) Ofna 26 (Picco) and two Axial 32s. Beakersafreak's old truck is the farthest away. BB

RE: ... - 
Why do they put these cheap servos in the truck if they know they will have to replace them? Also has anyone put a rollbar on this truck? Would a Savage one work? I have also heard that an HPI pullstart will work on the stock .25 but which pullstart? Lastly, does anyone make a skidplate for this truck?
