i think most people say the stock driveshafts but i have been running mine for a year with 1.9 rc4wd mud basher tractor tires with no problems.also the leafs can bend with alot of abuse,but i never had that problem either.

I think anti wrap bars are a must have. I like to run my shocks soft and I bent a leaf on my first run.

I bought the junfac ones and they mounted up nicely and seem to work well.

I just bought one this week so hopefully this weekend I can give it a good run and see how it does. The only issue I see right now is the suspension is very stiff and my leafs are set on the softest setting. It wasn't too bad before I installed the shocks so I may remove the springs from the shocks and see how it rides.

I've read a bunch of mixed feelings about the suspension

i got mine for the stiff scale suspension.i run all 3 leafs installed like a real truck not with nylon ties.the more i run it the more limber it gets.never had any problems.as a side note,i had axials before this,but i have never regretted the change.

Congrats, yes I'd remove the springs on the shocks. Leaves will break in and soften some.

Nice, this is a scale leaf spring truck and requires more driving skill to make it go places, but is more rewarding in the scale looks and driving abilities.

I'm stoked to get it ... Maybe I will get some internal spring shocks

How would I make a electronics tray / battery tray kind of like the one in a tamiya F-350
