Hello I am new the the RC hobby and I went out and bought a team associate reflex Db10 that I know nothing about.. I’m looking to get upgrades and what different body’s I can put on and new electronics for this buggy it’s a 1/10 scale electric.

I’m also having a problem with the steering I took it to a local shop and the guy says everything is intact but when I run the Buggy the steering wants to turn by itself sometimes and doesn’t want to get aligned straighten it’s all over the road please help thanks in advance.

For your steering issue, My first guess would be a weak or worn our steering servo. As for hop up parts, what are you specifically looking for besides bodies? As for electronics, Its got a Reedy ESC in it which is a pretty good brand. can't see the motor to tell what it is.

Yea I was thinking to get a new servo and transmitter but I’m looking for the good brands the shop owner says it might be a controller issue.. and bodies that I can put on there like which ones are compatible the motor is reedy too but I’m thinking I want to buy a new one basically everything new lol thanks for you time

The body question is difficult for me to answer having no knowledge of this exact kit. Maybe someone else can chime in on that part. As for the servo Id look at Savox, prolly something like THIS. as for a new ESC/motor combo Id get something like THIS.

It may be just the camera angle, but if you are driving in dirt and something gets the steering linkage in a bind where I added the arrow, that will cause steering issues.
