Honestly, I could have gotten away with just some replacement bulkheads for my Savage. BUT...why stop there? I mean the truck is going to be apart for a bit; might as well pick up some other goodies. Besides, the wife is in a good mood, and the wallet is a little fatter than usual. Might as well thin it out a bit.
Here's what I got (instead of just some bulkheads...$12/pair):
1. Dynamite Bulkheads (2 sets front and rear) $49.99/pair
2. Spare 52T HPI Spur $4.00
3. As a trial, HPI dual disk stainless steel brake set (don't need it but figured I'd give it a review) $18.00
4. Lunsford 1/8 Scale Titanium linkage kit upgrade $63.95
5. GS bevel gear set (2 sets for the pins in order to do Spider gear mod) $6.99/set
6. HPI bevel gear set (2 sets; their gears are hardened steel vice the aluminum GS gears otherwise I'd just use the GS gears). $6.00/set
7. HPI fullt assembled diff set. (this is a spare) $35.00
8. HPI 3 shoe clutch $16.00
9. HPI diff case set (comes with 2 cups and central hub for the brakes...needed the cups) $6.00
10. Losi 1.5 mm hex wrench (snapped the end off of mine doing something stupid with it...and the LHS was out of the inserts...so I just bought another wrench) $13.99
11. HPI primerless fuel tanks (2 tanks...one to replace and one for a spare) $14.00/tank
12. Factory Team (Associated) five pack of Diff lube (10K, 30K, 60K, 100K, and 300K...figured it might come in handy) $25.95
Grand total: $336.85 + tax
Total overspent: $312.85 + tax
Isn't a LHS a good thing?
To come...a RC Solutions Roll Cage for the beast, and I think I might be done for a while.
