8ight-t v1.0 Race Roller UPGRADES WHERE?
I am looking for a site to get some upgrades from my 8ight-t v 1.0 maybe an aluminum or carbon fiber radio tray, stuff like that. Is there a site that has it all or a combination of sites that has a large selection. Thanks

Some of us cant afford a new 2.0 so we have to use our old 1.0's and do the best we can with them..
For hop ups I would get the king headz one piece motor mount (you can use a standard clutch without "creative" shimming..and your clutch bearings last longer) smart diff, the extreme racing carbon radio tray stiffener works good also, the aluminum servo saver (the top piece) is another must have, I run the 1/2 offset hubs so I can use all the 0 off set rims and tires i have. I also use the aluminum hubs front and rear..it keeps the truggy "tighter" IE: less slop in the suspension.

But to upgrade with Inferior 1.0 parts is imo pointless.......in the end you'll end up with 2.0 parts....so get it over with now...radio tray, servo saver, rear outer hingepins,...these are crucial imo.

Thats what I'm doing..up grading with parts that I can swap to a 2.0 when I have the coin to buy one.

with the chassis dirt guards and throttle linkages yes.
