but Bl_rvo, since your going stock, id recommend losi,from what ive been hearing, they handle better, their suspension is better than AE.
now it leads me to wondering if i should get a ST...but i wanted to stay away from ground clearance and bigger tires because im sick of my emaxx flipping/rolling on turns.
i would think a ST will do the same which is why i want to go with a buggy.
First off, Losi all the way as far as 2wd buggy or ST goes. Second, if you keep the slipper and the diff adjusted properly, no need to worry. About the only thing I would do is but better bearings on the outdrives. I had a few sets go bad from the seals coming of and getting dirt in there. Also, a ST won't roll like a Maxx. There MUCH lower, about like a buggy, just longer arms and slightly taller tires. I'd get something like the BK2 or the MF2. As far as upgrades, get the aluminum arm mounts front and rear. Especially the rear. Thats the weakest link. Also get the RPM gear cover. I trashed so many of the stockers its not funny. Thats about it as far as hopups concerning strength. Every thing else is mostly looks.
