There's a couple of suggestions in my 6s EXB post, in the build forum. There's also some stickies at the top of the build forum page, which will also help. It surprising how much vibration/wear/tear out of balance wheels can cause, especially as they get heavier. A hand held balancer for 17mm hex wheels, and a bar of balance clay, are cheap, and can really smooth a car out. I picked up some extra bashing bodies at Jennys RC (chop shop). https://www.arrmaforum.com/threads/...exb-make-ready-and-tuning.67499/#post-1030552

You are asking all the right questions.

>>Don't run in the wet stuff.
It will last as long as you are willing to replace its parts.
Replacement parts will always be around.

I have builder's disease... Soon as it's built and functioning it gets cast aside and a new pretty is started
