Shocks: Mugen Seiki buggy shocks
A-arms: Stay stock or go RPM...steer clear from aluminum
Chassis: Stock works for me.
Turnbuckles: Lunsford Titanium...try the 1/8 buggy upgrade
Gas tank: Stock works just fine
Bulkheads: I prefer Hardcore Racing bulkheads
Shock Towers: Hardcore Racing towers
Springs: Trinity brand springs (color depends on driving style, set up, and weight of the truck.
Servos: I prefer HiTec digital servos.
Engines: Whatever gets the job done.

[Willthethrill]

wait, why do people put rpm shock towers on the front?
why not on the back too? also thanx for the info guys, n e one else wanna participate?

 

[SkyMaxx]

The RPM shock towers are really flexible. When taking a bad rear landing that flexibility leads to dinged engine heads, headers, and cracked fuel tanks. Personally, I would steer clear of any RPM shock towers as your shocks should be mounted to something solid (not flexible).
