Anything I should Know about or do to this truck when I get it. Any pointers would help. Figure between it and my T-Maxx I should have most areas covered. Thanks:D

Brutally fast. ;) This thing does circles around my dad's T-Maxx. It burns tires off the back in 5 runs, and tends to spin out upon full acceleration, and does wheelies on demand. I recommend buying RPM front A-Arms. I broke mine on around my 7th tank, mainly because the stock ones are weak as can be. RPM has done good for me. ;) Any more questions, let me know.
 
it is stupid fast just like rustlerx350 said. if you're running on pavement the tires wont last long at all. if you want to run offroad get another set of wheels right off the bat. id have to say its built pretty darn well and not too much you really have to worry about right out of the box. i still have my factory A-Arms and they are in great shape.
 
RPM front skid and arms. Avoid the inevitable.

Also, never run without a body. Those little body mount posts will grind completely off on one roof slide on the pavement. I'm on my 3rd tower... lol ;)

Other than that, mine has held up really well.
 
This is all good to hear can't wait to get it. Thanks for the input. I will probally run it off road most of the time. Does anyone run beadlocks on them? Or do they have to much power?
 
I've heard good things from the Proline Moabs, so I'm ordering those soon. You're going to need different tires than the stock tires, though however, if you plan on running this off road. The anacondas can't even handle grass.
 
Ya I know It is used has about 15 tanks including break in. It is comming with 30 series dirt hawgs. Trading my electric rustler for it.

very true - lucky its coming with something other than the anacondas . I'm waiting on my dirt tires to come in, I've been running it on/off road and the anacondas dont fair well on grass/dirt or anything other than pavement.
