Which upgrades

Im just wondering what should i upgrade on the xx4 im unsure and i dont mind spending cash but i dont like wasting it on stuff that is wrong or not needed. So what needs upgrading? Ive heard somewhere something about front dogbones should be replaced for CVD's? If so which make?

And help would be great and much apreciated?

mip front CVD's
alloy motor mount
invert rear blocks on bumpy tracks
add one plastic washer on the end of the rear wishbone pins to stop the brace flying of
run a washer behind each shock fastener were they meet the wishbone to stop the ball joints falling off in a impact

All good advice - I found the front UJ's to be fine tho - much like these guys all stripping wheels, it only happens if you are a total utter maniac.:D

True Jimmy. I have an original xx4 we that still runs it's UJ's without a problem, and have had no probs with motor mount either:)

All you need is the front cvd's!

You only need the front CVD's IF you are going to put a one-way diff in the front.

Just out of interest what does this do to help with the handling on bumpy tracks?

There is also the B2 front brace mod ( http://www.4wdrc.com/techbrace.htm )and also the X-Factory Caster screw conversion ( http://www.xfactoryrc.com/news_09_27_06.htm ).

Both are supposed to strengthen the front end in an impact.
