Any tips on hop ups before I commence the build?
A quick measure of my cars axle to axle shows these to be the approx lengths.
Truck 289mm, Evo 277mm and Mid motor buggy 270mm.

As for hopups Id recommend the new front lower chassis plate in carbon or the new top and bottom front chassis assembly that screws together.
Alloy hexes take out the hassle of losing hex pins when changing wheels too.
Other than that its a solid truck.

I have standard shocks (upgraded the shafts as I had a spare set) and have been using big bore springs. Simply use the Team C big bore lower spring mounts and the spring tops for a traxxas slash (part 3768) and snap this onto the stock preload adjuster, it will then work as normal. The shocks feel much smoother and seem to soak up bumps a lot better. Its a cheap upgrade compared to buying the big bores. Pic attached of setup on my spare truck.

Enjoy the truck they are fantastic
