Whether the upgrade/stock part is more durable, stronger or lighter, what parts do you think are best?
Just some thoughts running through my head as I'm looking for repair parts, should I try and get lighter or stronger metal or carbon or titanium shock towers, for example? I've only ever rolled mine once so far owning it. So would it be better to lighten it up with Carbon shock towers instead of the stock. Would that put to much stress on the bulkhead housing and now have to replace that more often? Other parts break more now.
Another example, would finding thicker drive shafts and dogbones or cvd axles help with less vibration which would help with transferring more power or the power more efficiently to the tires? Or would a lighter setup be better?
Maybe the stock steering blocks would better to use over the metal HR Racing ones for the lighter weight? The Metal HR Steering Blocks weight could be better to keep the front of the car better planted? Would this be for specific setups, Stock weight for speed runs and HR heavier weight better for bashing, racing cornering and this type of driving?
Just trying to get some fun ideas on the really good, proven or tested upgrades to areas that could strengthen and lighten these same chassis rides. Could a right part setup save off 2lbs and net an extra 15mph, for the money (I'm not trying to spend type) probably. Shave 1/2 - 1lbs and gain 5-7/8mph for a nominal cost, heck yea! Don't be shy posting any aftermarket parts for us all to check out, maybe try. Ebay sellers that are more specific, lesser known online RC Shops that tend to carry more specialty made parts, they all could be helpful at some point!
Can't wait to hear some input!!
