What are you planning on doing with it? XXt CR Graphite plus is a very capable vintage race platform. Transmission cases are weak spots, Jeff at Factoryworks.com makes a very cheap.trans brace tab that helps safeguard the cases (unless the T plate breaks too....and they can.... then both are trashed)

the old bulkheads are prone to failure too, Sabulatech makes molded replacements that all of us use, they're cheap too. Jose Zayas at Z3DRC makes a handful of 3D printed goodies including 12mm front rim adaptors so you can run easy to find Jconcepts 12mm hex T6.1 wheels, Associated SC10 12mm rear aluminum hex set do the same in the back. The hydradrive slipper that they came with leak all the time, B4 slipper plates drop right in on the hydra shaft

as do Associated spur gears. Horizon Hobby still makes the shock cartridge sets at $4.99 but you can rebuild the ones you have unless the hex or threads are trashed. DPRC.com makes other losi specific re makes, but the gold shock shafts are wayyyy to unfinished...like they forgot the polish phase. Shelf parts only as of now...too bad too. Boki racing makes a very very nice remake shell (I think the 8017 is the correct CR shell). Any stripped out plastics or trans case holes etc...replace the 4/40 screw with a 3mm screw (I would tap with 3mm first on a graphite part) and instant fix, this includes ball studs-

What else?

I was afraid about the trans and the rear pivot plates I wanted to get a trinity trans brace but their 60 bucks on eBay
