Sho /strength/duability?
 

Hi, I've ordered a Sho buggy for my son whose very keen in joining me in this fun money pit of a hobby...
I did some basic research and most comments on the Sho were positive, just wondering what parts should be upgraded asap? Anything to watch for?


Any help would be appreciated:)

They are very tough. My grandson has tried everything to break his for a month now, still going strong. Get a battery pack and check all the screws. He has about 2gal thru it, and it is getting stronger.

Heard the chassis needs to be beefed up as it has 2 much flex and the front arm mounts are thin plastic, see the Rcuniverse review. The engine is good though.

- The Stock shocks are ok but have a short lifespan, Swap them out for better ones. (I'm using Turmoil Shocks)
- The Plastic suspension pin blocks will not last long, replace with Alloy ones.
- One of the guys on here recommends shaving the pillow ball openings a bit for better steering & handling
- Heatshrink tubing on the CVD's to keep the pins in.
