what are these ''custom aluminum shock towers - 65.00'' ? are they the shock mounts from bender to allow you to run the savage shocks? if so then the list is ok exept for you will be rolling on stock tires . and you should get a lathe motor.

well the radio i am gettin comes with, controller, reciever that is 80 dollars by itself, and a 15 dollar servo. so if i get the tq3 (which i already have an extra one i will still need to buy a reciever and servo. also if i get the Airtornics, i can use that one on the rest of my trucks(tmaxx's) as well.

The TQ3 from the crawler store comes with a reciever and it is good deal. I would look for a lathe motor or MM with the GD600. The stock silver motors will work but there is a dramatic difference with the other two motors. Not aware of any traction aiding devices for the difs other than locking them. I used JB Weld like a great many other people here. Your totla amount seems pretty close but you should probably budget about $1,000 total to make sure you get everything needed Good luck and welcome on board. This has been an enjoyable hobby and I have had the opportunity top meet many very nice people. |
