Yah it does have alot of parts that will work from HPI. THe shock towers are pretty strong. The only thing that I see that may be a weak point is the a arms but I dont read alot about broken a arms. Actually I dont read much about any broken parts on the tsunami. One thing that I did do is put a heavy weight shock oil in the shocks because they were bouncy. The valving is too big inside. I put in a 80wt oil and its pretty good now. There is room and the mounts to mount an 8 shock setup which I may do just because it looks cool. The electronics are not the best but they work and work well. For the price you cant beat them and you can get parts in less than a week. Parts are cheap and there is alot of upgrades you can get like aluminum everything.
