Oh, While I remember... Does this roll cage get in the way of the gear cover?

Do what I do use this converter, http://www.fieba.net/index.htm
O-yea, Look on E-bay you can find Good Deals on NEW LST Parts or the Truck itself.(e-bay has Canadian prices)

Black_Ghost_FN

Cool, That'll Help!

Black_Ghost_FN

Actually, I dont think That'll be accurate, the US prices are usually almost 2x as much.

SublimeJason

The Rate changes everyDay, and the Canadian money is worth a Lot More now-a days.

Black_Ghost_FN

I know but when it comes to buying things. for axample, a nitro X-C is about $240 US, and twice as much Canadian. But when I cashed in the $30 US cheque, it only came to about $36 []

Black_Ghost_FN

And it was a $40 rebate from bestbuy so i got ripped off by $4.

Its more like 740-800 (790 at my LHS)

hdmax

Did you include the outragous tax those too the North must pay? I paid $500 + 7.25% sales tax for my brand new at a local hobby shop, so deals can be had if you take the time too shop around. But those up north are getting ripped off.

brushless

Nope. Didn't include that.

My Feedback: (2)

That is one heck of a list! Get the sway bars, Diff cases, skip the Aluminum arms and get RPM Arms, and get the failsafe. On everything else, see if you really need/want it after you get into the truck and drive it for a few weeks. If you think you need something stronger for any given part, break the stock one, first - then get stronger replacements. It sounds like a few hundred $$ of overkill to me.

Black_Ghost_FN

Yea I know, that was just a list of mostly possibilities that I may want later on, Its actually longer now! But Ill get what I need as I go, and RPM arms because theyre like 1/3 the price of alum. But I's d like aluminum C-carriers, hubs, and bulkhead, but thatll be quite alot right there.

Oh, its not just the taxes (14% total here) its that the products cost almost 2x as much even though the US to canadian conversion is much less.
