I have an electric truck, My Dad (CEO) has bought me an RC10GT factory pluss rtr and hes going to let me pick out all the hopups, and make it all aluminum, heres the catch! he wont help me with anything but buying me the parts... Woohoo but not woohoo, he wont buy the parts if I dont know what i need and he's going to make me explain to him why.
Im not familer with parts on a nitro truck, in other words im trying to make it all aluminum,meaning no stock plastics. so far I know only of these and what they do:
