tell me about it.
my wife keeps telling me that i dont have to spend this money on the kids....but little does she know that i am using the kids to spend the money on the cars/trucks for me...HAHAHA JK
EVERYTIME i take the trucks out, something breaks...
yesterday did some bashing with the kids, our 4x4 slash and my revo 3.3 that i just had a new motor put in. After a great day of bashing, no injuries..haha and only 1 minor break (the eletric starter motor on the revo got ripped off), today i tried taking the revo out again and now i cant get it to increase in RPMS for any period of time. The second it starts to rev, it just turns off...WTF
off to the hobby store again...haha
right now i am putting together a shopping cart on AMAIN for a bunch of parts for the 10 so my kid can take it out next saturday at this sick track in phoenix...they actually have the racing brackets divided up in age groups...hes stoked.

i put losi 50wt in the schocks...but didnt do anything much other than that. i met this guy at the track recently and he has a BUNCH of Associated trucks and he was telling me that for the money i am going to spend on this truck that it would be more worth to just sell it off and get a T4. not sure i am ready to do that since this has sentimental value, and with the other trucks that i have...dont think i need another money pit...haha. with the money that i have spent on upgrades for our slash 4x4 and my revo 3.3 along with all the fixes that i have to do contstantly...not sure another high end truck will help the wallet.
besides...this truck is perferct for my 9 year old. he has a lot to learn about driving...but hes getting it.
i was going to upgrade to the V2 shocks that you had mentioned....
gunna now update CVDs, carriers, get some dirt tires, t4 battery holder, and some dirt tires finally...so not cheap
He is correct in the respect of money, the cheapest way for me to build my 10t race truck eod have been to buy a T4.1 and use most of the parts. But, there is nothing like your boy using your old gear
