Newbie hop ups for scx10 jeep rtr
 

Hey guys,
Im not new to rc's but new to crawlers andwas wondering about some hop ups for my new scx10.

ruibicon im guessing? some of the most common upgrades (most of these i have purchased) are:
-proline shocks (unless you have to new icon aluminum shocks)
-beadlock wheels (axial makes some, rc4wd and vanquish products are also good choices)
-tires? I have not drove a jeep with the stock tires so they may be fine but Luckster is running rc4wd Interco Iroks and loves them. I run TSL boggers and they work nicely
-the stock axial motors are horrible. Holmes Hobbies brushed and an esc that can take 3s will make much more torque reliably
-metal gear servo with 175+ oz in of torque

In terms of scale accessories check out Dinky RC, RC4wd and Vanquish products.

Consider starting with Robinson Racing gears for your trans and a quality set of lockers or spools for the axles.

Then CHubs and Knuckles for the front axles

Universals for the front axles.

Metal Links (if you don't already have them).
