Upgrade anything you can to M2C? I don't have an ARRMA yet, but this is what I've heared. M2C makes the strongest parts, though you won't always need it.

Would like to know too.
 
RPM: front bumper, A-arms and rear skid plate

M2C: Chassis + chassis braces + shock towers + rear shock tower brace

I would say that's the minimum upgrades to have a really strong car. Then you can consider the M2C hinge pin kits front and rear, but that's pricy.
 
Ya looking more for the stuff to bolit proff my truck

I went this far
 
Yeah, thats almost exactly my parts list.

I don't think you realy need anything immediately. What you must do is get metal chassis braces, because if stock ones break, they take a lot of other things with them (heared on this forum somewhere, and saw on YT Aussie RC).

All the other things, I'd only upgrade when they break. Why buy an M2C chassis for $130, when you possibly don't need it? I'd only buy it if something breaks, but I'm inexperienced, so eh.

Why so many fans? If you're having heat issues, wouldn't a MAX6 + 1650kv be a good solution?

Click my build thread badge and you can see what ive done mine. Shimming diffs, new bearings, new stronger towers and a chassis is a must. Have fun with your new rig.

Don't forget the better hardened shock standoffs for those shock towers. You will need them.
PPS motor mounts are very nice also. They are pretty trick and very functional as an upgrade.

True! I have the shock standoff in stock and I'm waiting for the stock ones to fail. I also have the PPS mount and it's indeed fabulous! Not essential, but I agree it is a very functionally superior upgrade.

Ya just did that with new shocks. Is there a better diff that i should be using

metal diff cases are a good upgrade and the metal gearboxes are great to have but most importantly no matter what route you take please shim your diffs inside and out properly. There is countless threads on here on how to shim them and there is even more threads of guys crying that arrma sucks cuz their diffs popped. Its a flaw with tolerances by arrma granted but it's a super easy fix and your diffs will be solid if done right. Also it's a good opportunity to change out the fluids in them. I run 500k center, 70 up front and 50 in back but you can also do 50 up front and 30 in the back if you want(less stress on the front diff ). Get new bearings and a radio right away the stock radio is a death trap and should have never been sold with these rigs, I run a 6 channel dumborc radio I got for under 50 bucks and it goes super far with great response times(way better than stock anyways). If you plan on jumping it metal chassis braces are a must and depending on how high you want to go a new chassis and beefier towers will be in order. Oh and don't make my rookie mistake and get stoopid metal a arms....they break stuff! Like chassis'
 
I'm here to let you know even if you shim your diffs you're still going to break diff pins so upgrade those. I've heard the mugen 2.2mm pins work. I've also heard of people using mugen internal gears with mugen outdrives since it has a bigger pin (3mm iirc)
 
i am a newbie.. but i just changed my remote to the Dumbo remote for $32 bucks. I can't believe what a difference that made. What a piece of poop the stx2 was. I knew it was bad...but.. wow..
 
Lot of good ideas above ^^, when you're finished you will be in the 1K 6S club. ?

Imagine how us V1 guys feel at this point in time. Some of the parts I have "upgraded" 3-4 times because better products became available. Back when I got my first Arrma, we literally had Voltage Hobbies, GKA, Markhor, M3 and Hot Racing.
