RE: Official St-15 thread!
I hit stuff with my go-kart, and I bolted a steel plate in the front and I've hit a couple trees with it and it just skined them up. So I don't think having an aluminum bumper wouldn't damage stuff to much, T-maxx's are aluminum.

I've got an st-15. I think the most important thing to do to this truck if you get one is swap out that craptacular spur gear and replace it with a thunder tiger 46 tooth steel main gear ( # AD2454 ). You need a bearing with the right id for the shaft and od for the gear, but then you can toss the bushings away too.

That will just gear it down a tad. Probably won't notice it. I am going to order a Duratrax clutch bell today... Hope it fits.

Ok, here are all the parts you will need to do wide suspension. You will need to drill some holes in the rear a-arms to make the dogbones reach. Other than that it just about bolts on. If you have any questions just post something here.
Front A-arms - LX2913
Rear A-arms - LX2975
Dogbones - LXd411
Turnbuckles 72mm - LXJJ16
Turnbuckles 52mm - LXJH80
Shock Spacers - ??????
Remember i am still perfecting this so everything won't just fit perfectly... [:@]

Just about any 1/10th stadium truck body will fit... You may have to cut out the wheel wells quite abit because of the narrow suspension. Try a Proline '97 Ford f-150 body... Really cool. All rounded off and "racey" looking! I am going to get one as soon as i can afford it.
