Default RE: Bought a used Hellfire, few questions...

There has been alot of bad comments about the strength of integy products so you will find out if thats true or not.
I got my gst diffs off ebay. The pinion and crown drop straight in the hellfire cups with a little shiming. There are lots of posts on the diffs on this forum so do a search. I would pull your diffs,shim if required, and bash as is. If they start wearing qiuck order the gst diffs.
The plastic braces will do for bashing but the rear one will bend very easily. They should be easy to replace. Id wait to you really need them.
The top chasis plate has a habit of cracking next to the steering servo. No biggy though.
Those tyre will be ok for bashing. They last ok.
Watch out for loose screws and they also strip easy.
What pipe is that?
The HF is very heavy so with the roll cage it will be extra heavy but that engine has good torque so all good.
Overall it looks in good condition. The HF isnt the best truggy but for bashing with a couple of upgrades it will be ok.
Post a vid or more photos.
Enjoy.
