Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I think I will go a head get the aluminum knuckles to start with. I have read most of this thread and have picked up a lot from you all. The reason for getting this truck was I wanted a 4WD stadium truck. Just like the way the Stadium trucks look. Was going to buy the RTR but my son talked me into the kit. This will just be for bashing I guess. There are no tracks around here with out having to drive for an hour and a half. Now flying fields, there everywhere.
