Status: offline 		that isnt bad for the price u paid for, probly get ball bearings, a nice high-tourque motor, like a reedy quad mag, nothing 2 expenisve, 23tooth METRIC pinion gear, carbon drive shaft, definately need esc, possibly a tekin, or something cheap, htat can handle 19t motor, nothign 2 fancy, its for drifting, umm, drift tires (pvc, elec tape, ect...) possibly lock the rear diff., umm radio and reciever of ur choice, and any battery over 3000mah

With A TL-01 it is advised to decide to either lock the rear diff before you build it as it is a fair mongrel to get at once it is built..

Get the Bearings prior to building it.

Build it once , build it properly.

Status: offline 		idk ROY i mite jus keep it and paint it how it is on the box n jus save it. U never kno it mite be worth something
later on, being that its discontinued now... Or maybe if i can get the rite deal....NAH!! lol
Na i really like the body. Hey wouldnt it be pointless for me to change the prop shaft to a carbon one
since it already comes wit a aluminum one? How do I "JB Weld" the diff?

Status: offline 		No, the shaft isn't aluminum. It's like steel maybe, but it's really heavy. Compare it to the carbon shaft and you'll notice the difference immediately.
