- vanquish titanium upper links
- axial exo light bar, radiator, hood, and roof
- scx10 medium springs for the front
- chaotic crawlers carbon fiber front shock mount
- aluminum knuckles and c hubs for the front
- and throw down some custom paint (probably by rockthrasher)

parts already have:

- castle sct esc with fan
- tekin ROC 412 3100kv
- savox steering servo
- waterproof hitec mini shift servo
- front locker

How do the rc4wd scale aluminum shocks work with no oil and no spring? Sorry I'm a newbie

[desertmaxx]

they have a spring inside them, but no oil.

I put oil in mine

I see. I did research and found those shocks to be too stiff. The front end on the TW is super light. Might rethink those shocks or prepare to cut the spring inside and remove O ring.
Let us know how they perform. THUMBS UP

got it yesterday. one of my most favorite rigs. did a tire swap to maxxis trepadors. will post pics later.

this rig is a beast. i've driven it so much, i still havent posted pics. i will shoot a video, just for you guys. when i got it, the shift servo was siliconed to the tranny, so that has to go. i going to bend up some metal for the mounts. its nice it being a 1.9 because i have 6 different tire/wheel choices. so far though, the trepadors are the best.

That being said, under all the junk is a real fun kit, I really like mine.
Sorry, I had to vent - hearing these stories re-ignites my anger EVERY time
grrrrrrrrrr

no, mine has a hitec mini servo, so the stock mounts wouldn't work with it. the guy that had it before me siliconed it to the trans, not horizon hobby. maybe i have gotten lucky, but i have beated the snot out of this thing the past week and it just keeps chugging along.

awesome little truck. it took alot of abuse over the course of the week and a half. the main gear in the tranny is finally seeing its last couple minutes. lots of chattering, slipping, the whole nine yards.
