If your talking about hex extenders for the wheels then I would say no mine don't have any I was looking at them are they any good.

ok, I wouldn't get them. It would put more stress on suspension parts when you do bashing. Let's say you land wrong off a jump and break a carrier, now you could possibly brake a carrier AND a lower arm

I LIKE the way that EXHAUST set up looks. Its XTM, right?
I got a question about that kind of setup tho.
When I run MY 1/8 motor a lil rich (for protection) it spews some nitro out the pipe.

Im YOUR case the unspent nitro has to run UP HILL into the pipe.....
wouldnt you get some BACKFLOW into the exhaust port?

i am pretty sure that it is pushed out, the pipes are usually on an angle to the exhaust on most pipes that are mounted like that.

O.K.
You all probably know my Avalanche Story.
My Buddies radio fails. Truck runs away(into a Wall) and gets SMASHED. Yaddda yadda yadda.....
So. I ask Eddie to Spend his time Quoting me a long list of parts.....
My buddy see the $$$Damage n Freaks

. Says he should just buy a new Truck! Use whats left of his Smashed one for spare parts.
"Fine", says I, "But buy a Himoto and get a decent Radio!"

Soo ... I need to know which Truck is interchangeable with the Avalanche....
Is it the Rancho? Is it the Rancho Pro? (longer chasis)?
Save my Buddy from Redacat RTM......
