Granite Things to "upgrade" on Granite 4x4 BLX?

[TeachMeCars]

I've seen a couple people recommend putting tape in the chassis over a hole so dirt doesn't get into a gearbox. Are there other adjustments I should make to a stock granite? Or any parts I should just have on hand?

Good question following this post now. Just got mine about tei weeks ago. How u linking urs? I added some leds to mine, adjusted the end points on my servo and covered the hole under the spur gear with some tape to keep dirt snd grime from going in there.

Welcome to the forum @TeachMeCars!

Here is a thread you can read through to see what everyone has to say regarding upgrades and even some general Granite info.

I hope I don’t seem like I am pushing you off or anything but this really is the best and quickest way to get the info you are looking for.

It's been a blast so far. Took it to the skate park yesterday and it's a beast!

As for "upgrades" I've taped up that same hole, and added a t-bone bumper to it. The bumper seems to be much better than the stock one and also acts as sorts of a skid plate.

After putting half a dozen packs through the car I can say it's pretty durable and doesn't really need any upgrades out of the box. It runs like a dream with everything stock, and durability hasn't been an issue for me even with mild jumps and big tumbles.

Here's the front and rear bumpers for the granite. It looks like they came out with a skid plate which is listed on the same page, but title says for big rock, senton, and typhon so I'm thinking it's only for the longer chassis and not the short chassis of the granite...
