    Brass extended hexes will solve a lot of that. You can also get some brass spindles for the front, and a brass front diff cover. The only drawback is more weight will be more taxing on the stock motor. Some have had no problems with the stock motor, but the one in our Deadbolt only lasted 3...

    We corrupted another one! Awesome choice Daron. This used to be a Deadbolt, but now it goes by Deadbox. Still need to get the Deadpool figure put in it. Good brands for upgrades for them... Treal, Hot Racing, Furitek, PN Racing, and a few others. The first thing I would do is upgrade the...

    I second an SCX24. The number of upgrades available for them is unbelievable. And they aren't bad to work on either.
