i would recommend keeping an extra pivot block or two around, specifically rear, or upgrading to the aluminum from rock concepts if you plan on really bashing the truck around. Don't get me wrong, they don't break 'easily' but you will replace on or two of the graphite ones if you ride it really hard.

I also put some tighter ball ends on mine, but not captured ends. Seems as if the captured ends put a bit too much stress on other parts of the truggy. I could go on, but I thought I would throw the part about the pivot block out there... help avoid interrupted bashing
You might want to zip tie up all your wires before you start runnin it. Otherwise, it's a nice lookin little truck. The balloons on the shocks are a great idea, it'll help keep them working longer, by keeping dirt out of the seals.
well i finished up zip-tieing last night and figred out the failsafe wasn't broken...i thought it was since i didn't test it right....so thats finally done...the engine gets flooded really easy so the piston gets gunked up alot so i have to drain it...but my pull starter couldn't take it and snapped the cord and the wire...i should be getting a new one friday...need to get a new lugnut for my wheel to since i was SO smart and took it off ON MY DECK....so I'm not crawling under there to get it since it is all the way back by the house and we have a huge deck....well ill try to keep posting pics only i need to buy a new digi cam and computer repair kit..so cya l8a
