Big Rock “Ultimate Basher”??!!!!!

[stevenwm]

Hey guys
Hope everyone is doing good and enjoying the holiday season!

Had a couple questions
I'm getting ready to build a Big Rock and a Kraton 8th scale

I plan on SENDING these
And Im trying to make these as durable as possible, on a budget

I have a lot of aluminum parts acquired
But I know aluminum adds weight and is only good in the right spots!
So I’m wondering what is actually needed (most important)
And what is not really needed?

Here's a list of what I have:
Aluminum chassis
Shock Towers
Chassis braces
Servo mounts
Center Diff mount & cover
ABCD hinge pin holder and upper suspension holder

I didn't buy aluminum hubs or diff housing
Not sure if they're needed

What do you guys think or recommend for the ultimate basher?!!!

If your eyeing the New Kraton 6S v6 EXB then you won't need too much upgrades..
It's Stout from the looks of the new enhancements.

Personally I would still only upgrade what breaks, while you wait for parts you have other RC’s to run.

For me this is the best way and the most fun but everyone is different.

Personally I feel like metal bulkheads are needed if you're going to send it.

For me I use it as is out of the box and when parts break then consider upgraded parts.

Thanks!
Was wondering if the bulkheads and hubs were necessary

I think I’m going to grab a couple sets of each off AliExpress since they’re pretty cheap and heard pretty good things about them

For me I use it as is out of the box and when parts break then consider upgraded parts.

Going to build from scratch
Got some of these beautiful ADU Racing parts to try!
