I have a granite blx 4x4 v3. I got it 20 months ago, October 2020. I have upgraded rear driveshafts to gpm ones. I upgraded them two months after I got my granite, I couldn't stand stock driveshafts, they were popping out and if I did some hacks they were breaking. Gpm appeared to be extremely tough, they are still working like new after 18 months. To mention that slipper is fully tightened. I hit throttle hard and I do standing backflips without the wheely bar. Driveshafts work perfect. Maybe I was lucky and I got a good set cause some people don't like gpm that much as I do. I have also upgraded rear diff to hot racing metal one. Around 3 months after I got granite. And around 4 months after I got granite, I upgraded spur gear to the hot racing metal one. So everything in drivetrain is metal except front diff, front driveshafts and center driveshaft. I also replaced rear wheels with duratrax which were awful. I replaced all 4 wheels with Louise 2.8 Mt cyclone mft (with beadlocks instead of glue). Awesome wheels still using them with no problems. I also changed the body, I got a tmt unbreakable for the granite. Also replaced the servo to the dsservo 35kg waterproof one. Awesome move, very powerful servo. So what I want to ask is, should I upgrade anything else? I don't mind if it is for power, strength, handling or look. Granite just runs perfect now, I can't kill something and I kind of miss that sense of buying parts and wrenching. I changed front diff 5 days ago cause I did a mistake and destroyed stock front. Old front diff lasted 1.5 years and to mention I didn't know how to drive when I bought the granite cause it was and is my only hobby grade rc car. Plus it was killed because of a mistake of mine. So I suppose the new diff will last at least one year if I don't do any bullshits with the car again. So I want you to suggest me upgrades
