After the last 2 times at the track and suffering breakage with 10 minutes both times, I think it's time for a full clean and rebuild.

I did a quick inspection of the truck the other day and noticed lots of stuff needing replacing, cleaning, and rebuilding.

Here is what I noticed:

1. The truck no longer rolls very well. After looking around, a few of the drive cups are worn out pretty bad causing binding in the driveline. Seems to run ok under throttle, but make it's very jerky when pushing the truck manually.

2. The integy shocks are junk, as I've already blown 3 shock shafts pretty bad. At least with the stockers I could bend them back after bending the shafts and continue racing. Not with the integy's. Those things simply sieze up. Since half the stock shocks leak oil, they will be rebuilt and thrown back on the truck in place of the integy's. Rocco, if you read this. What was the email address you used to complain to integy in order to get the updated shock shafts?

3. The bearings aren't as smooth as they used to be either. Probably exposed to too much dirt. There's a real nice sonic cleaner at my work. I'm gonna toss those bad boys in there for a few minutes and it should do the trick .

Hopefully when all is said and done the truck will once again race like the raped ape it was a few months back .
