Heavier weight shock oil
Maybe a few cheapy LiPos.

Ive ordered half that list, ill order the other half in February. This hobby is starting to be too much like real cars.
i have not dumped 1000 in the t-maxx.... yet... not even close... ok..

lets see all the parts i added... not replaced because i broke..

spool... $12 best thing in the world!!!
cage... $30 best friend got it for my birthday last year
pipe... $65 got it for me for my birthday
RPM skid plates... $15 years and years ago i stole them form the e-maxx
front RPM a-arms... $12 broke one arm when i didnt see a concert stone in the middle of a grass feild... hit it wrong err just right to take out a a-arm... UPgrade time.. RPM=given.
brake disc $20
output lay shaft for disc $8
updated center drive shafts... err $20 total in parts?

thats about it i added.... now that doesnt take in that amount of time i have in taking it apart to modify the diff for lsd with springs for the rear... finding out its not limited slip enough... remove that rear lsd diff put it in the front. then take the front open diff and replace that with a spool...

this whole brake disc+pipe thing was the biggest thing ive done... and the first time ive cracked the tranny open to completely clean and relube. which took a good while to do alone.

i love doing it all though... especailly in the winter, so much down time. would have liked it that much if the weather was warmer and had time to run it.
