First, A story:
About two weeks ago I rebuilt my back shocks (Old owner let them sit for a while dry, and they started to leak once I filled them). My LHS only had 2 rebuild kits on hand, so we ordered the other two. They came in the Friday before this past one. By the time I got around to doing them on Wednesday, I discovered they were for similar shocks to mine, but the shafts on mine were .5mm thicker. Called the LHS back again, and he said it would be next Friday (maybe Thursday) before they're in. I already took the leaky ones apart completely and cleaned up the truck, so there's no point in even attempting to use it until the shocks are done.
Of course, I've only had this t-maxx about three weeks, and all this happens just when I finally got ir running smoothly, too. Spirit = crushed.
In the meantime, I need to do something. On my list of necessities is a new steering and throttle servo, and a return spring or cutoff switch of some sort (to avoid any future mishaps). I'm looking to do something cool to the truck. I bought it with a lot of upgrades already done to it. But I want to be able to say that it's really mine because I did something to it. So, does anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for upgrades, mods, etc. I'm new to this and still relatively in the dark about most of this hobby, so all suggestions are very much appreciated. There has to be something out there to eat up the week-long wait for the stupid o-rings I need.
