I'm a fan of the holmes hobby servos. Great bang for your buck. They also have excellent customer service.

Glad that you like your new Vaterra aluminum shocks, they are sweetly made. Cool to clean up the local drainage ditch for nearby crawling!

[pete959]

My biggest complaint about all this everything that i want comes from hong kong or other area so it gives me a month of wait time so boring also what kind of stuff should i just get as spares

[Natedog]

That's when I order several items at once from same place and wait.

Spares I bought are CVDs, spur gears, metal servo horn, plastic ballends, HD pinion gears, HD driveshafts and a good servo. I carry these parts and pill bottle full of miscellaneous screws, nuts, washers and pins, body clips while crawling. So far I have not needed any of it, but always buy these parts for whatever vehicle I'm running, it's cheap insurance and I'll break, wear out, or lose these parts sooner or later anyways.

[pete959]

Ok ty i will get on it tonight and just thanks for responces and nice thread

You're welcome, always good to carry key spares. Thanks!

I recently installed Vaterra aluminum shocks and, so far, am very happy with them. I tried to modify the stock shocks, but just couldn't get them to work anywhere near as well as the aluminum shocks do.
