UPDATE AFTER 7 MONTHS OF USE

Here’s a compilation of some of the modifications I have done and have worked really well. There’s also a few hop ups I use and like very much. Every item listed links to either pics on my Photobucket account or a manufacturer for the hop ups.

MODIFICATIONS

LST XXL diffs (I got them from this guy on ebay)
Diff blocks (for LST diffs only, doesn’t work with stock TRX diffs)
8th scale center diff made with a LST XXL diff
No slop OFNA adapters
Aluminum slipper pad
Battery doors mod
Servo blocks
Mud flaps (made of Lexan or hard rubber or whatever else works)
6 mm carbon fiber motor plate
Bottom screw for motor mount
Screws in middle of rear bulkhead
Rear shock tower shim
On/Off switch in a balloon with ''stay on'' blocker
Rear skid plate protector
4 mm screws for motor
Nuts for screws on axle carriers
Set screws and nuts on rocker posts
Rear body mount brace
Pieces of 600 grit sand paper for the pivot balls
Rear turnbuckle ball ends everywhere
O-rings on ball ends to keep them on the ball
All of the Steve Slayden steering and castor mods.
Brass inserts where needed

HOP UP PARTS I HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFIED WITH

Tekno front sway bar mount with a custom sway bar made with this spring steel rod
Traxxas rear sway bar
Racers Edge servo horn
Traxxas Jato Shock boots (other kinds are available from other manufacturers)
RD Racing axle carriers (The stock ones are fine but I really like RD Racing stuff)
RD Racing shock towers front and rear
Proline servo arm for single steering servo
Traxxas red aluminum pushrods and turnbuckles
Variable damping shock pistons
Aluminum pivot ball caps
RC Monster pinions
RC Monster drive shaft coupler to use the center shafts with 8th scale diffs.
Bullet connectors 5 mm or bigger. I use Polymax 5.5 mm bullets.

I think that's it. I hope I didn't forget anything. There are other mods I did that worked but I just don't feel they are worth doing. I did everything as experiments remember? For example, the Summit shafts, they worked great but are not necessary with a good and well adjusted slipper. Once I am done going through the Summit shafts I have left (yes they do wear out but none snapped thanks to the slipper) I will reinstall the original shafts.

That's it! I really feel I'm done with this truck. I need a new vehicle to work on. I really wish I had the money to get one of those to work on. Click here.
