madmonkey
 

I'm just about to pick up my madmonkey from the shop.just want to no what upgrades people recommend for it.i am going to race it but on a budget as touring car is my main class.I have heard the shocks r no good,what shocks do I get for it

ansmann pro shocks, nylon transmission gears and ballraces

A better shell as the kit ones are like paper

Full bearing kit
Nylon gear
Alloy Shocks (i got associated ones on my ansmann)
And some common spares ie, towers and wishbones

I took my new car out for a play yesterday and I must say I'm very impressed with it.I'm gona try to race tonight at my local touring car club,it could be interesting as I'm gona use cheap ansmann on road treded tyres,they won't want spikes on there carpet.I have orderd a new Abel as mine has broke already.next mod will be some turnbukles and maybe some Losi shocks

I'm using 3 Racing's Tamiya DT02 shocks on my monkey., indoors and out. They're about £18 a set and havn't leaked any oil in two months use. the springs that come with them are stiffer too, better for the big jumps!.

i use velcro to secure the body shell on, the standard shell is a issue as it cracks but i just cut it off, it cracks where is curves on the back of the chassis, no big problem though, ill upload a photo is a sec

this is the velcro inside the shell

Were can I get some nylon gears from and wil make the gearbox quiet

Try eBay but I don't know if they make it quieter, my gearbox is quiet, try loosening the gear mesh with the motor

you could try these to up grade .HPI idler 28t [86944] about £3.50 or fibre gear from a losi and the main nylon gear RB5 .:thumbsup:

Thanks for the info I willy order some tomorrow.
