Status: offline 		Its a long chassis, it will flex a little. I put the Pro R buggies alloy front chassis brace on the front, $12 upgrade, took a lot of the flex away. Theres also better upgrades out for the rear.
17mm conversion is pretty much a requirment, 14mm wheels are hard to find (harder than 23mm) and they do slightly redice the buggies cornering. 17mm hexs are also a lot stonger.
The tyres it comes with are not very good either, to soft and spongey.
I put a buggy stone guard on the exhaust side to protect the rather exposed pipe as well, the Pro R buggies fits straight on with some drilling.

Probably also worth upgrading the rear toe in plate, the stock one is plastic and not that strong.
The only part I break is the front body mounts, broken a couple, even with the mount filed as low as possible. But they are under $10 and take 1 minute to swap over.

Other than that its a good truggy that can easily run with the best of them.

Status: offline 		Yes, there are ****s like that on this planet. Just keep asking around. It's more likely for you to run into someone helpful than an ass. It's also easy to tell who's helpful/nice, because you'll see people talking to them.

Status: offline 		my problem was chassis flex and shock bodies are weak..chassis flex was resolved by BCE chassis and kingheadz brace..then the axles were replaced by KMW stub axles ,i preferred 23mm instead of 17mm coz all my trucks are 23mm compatible..
