    RPP Hobby.com has TONS of parts. Prices aren't too bad either.
    There are a lot of choices for shocks. Pro-Line is good but spendy. G-Made has some great ones that are reasonably priced. I have a set of theirs on my wraith.
    It all comes down to what you are looking for. Then again, an even cheaper option is to get longer lower rod ends on the stock shocks.
    I did that on my TRX-4 and it made a bigger difference then I thought it would.

    The Pro2 scb is very nice. If I were in the market for an scb I would be all over it as well.

    That definitely a beast. Clearly some power and traction there, looking at those rear appendages

    Did not realize that. SCB’s all seem to suffer that fate these days. Everyone want the trucks.

    That’s what I thought. But then you said something about building some stuff.

    Are they the Integy ones?

    We will be making small parts like skids and stiffeners that can be formed laser cut sheet but no machining.

    Just picked this up this weekend...$100. Brushless...body needs a lil work but in good shape, and pretty quick. Gonna fix it up a lil bit...clean the rims up, new body and cage (on the way) I was lucky enough to find some parts that are still available.

    Nice truck. I personally stay away from aluminum a-arms because one good hit and they're scrap. I still have the stock arms on both of my hpi Baja 5th scales. Those things have a lot of weight and their size makes it look like they cartwheel in slo-mo.:D

    Losi reissued this a year or so back. I imagine there should be no shortage of parts.

    Certain parts are readily available, but the cage was the hardest to find....and they are running about $65. And I'm with you...just too cool looking and so fun to drive.
