For longevity I would put some metal lockers in the axles and the transmission. Also I myself like the Proline FlatIrons. You might mess with the suspension a little and maybe pick up some nicer shocks to help with dampning. Try adding a little weight to the wheels so you can get a better footprint on the rocks. HTH.

I like the FlatIrons as well and agree that weight in the tires and shocks help with getting a better footprint. A little trick I did was to flip my shocks upside down so that the weight of the shock body is lower which makes the less top heavy. Good luck  |
