Hooray! Hop-up's for the Jammin CRT. - 10-15-2006, 09:55 PM

Thanks to a few people on the boards and Amain for having the parts around.

Sold my 1st 1/8th scale buggy to pay for the parts on the truggy.

Picking up a few things for down the road.
Dace rear skid plate
Khz front/rear braces
Z-brace
CVD's for the rear
CNC toe plates in 2.5*.
spare parts.
BCE chassis and Z-brace courtesy of Cemeb4dk.

Anything else to add to toughen up the truck to some severe bashing abuse? Going to a Monster Jam in january with RCMX and we'll be running with the real Monster trucks in the stadium so there will be some big, sick air and even greater chances for mass destruction. So little tips/tricks/upgrades are very welcome.

I just head over to McMaster Carr's website and place a will call order when I need screws. Its probably where Tony gets his stuff from.

Talking like $10 for 100 m3 screws, so you spend a total of $15 and you've got a lifetime supply of them. Bash away to your hearts content knowing you'll always have whats needed inthe tool box.

Still, a good thing to have.

M3 stainless steel 318 screws in 20mm lenth, $7.80 for a pack of 100. They are located pretty close buy so I can just pick them up.

You got most covered... Just for added security if your going to be bashing and big air. I would go twith the cnc upper and lower b blocks. Not sure if your rtr has the cnc lower one.

I'm pretty sure most people here have seen the shit I manage to break, but I run plastic upper blocks, and have yet to even crack one.

Tony's screws are nice, but for the same price I can do a bulk order at McMaster and get like 10* as much.

The Stainless are fine. Good grade steel.

I understand that, alot of hop ups are not necessary but are more like insurance. Especially if someone is going to a monster jam event and getting some major air
