FLM bulks either hybrids(used for 1/8 scale diffs) or combos(used for standard diffs), the gmaxx suspension kit, gmaxx chassis, gmaxx skids, rd logics bumpers, and rd logics shock tower posts(though i dont recommend metal bumbers or shock posts the bend and create stress points in other areas). that will give you an exact replica of what you ahve there only using gmaxx stuff and other brands for better strenght. I have heard the the Company that makes the combp in the picture presses the metal not machines it this means it is not strong it breaks so stay away from it. Heres some links. Gorillamaxx stuff FLM Bulks on this page and the rd logis stuff is here and here.

First off, DO NOT GET THE RD LOGICS ANYTHING. Basically, with the link that you sent, to complete it, a nice set of hybrids or combos would be good. get some good diffs (HB or UE), FLM A arms would be nice, FLM shock Towers. stay away from aluminum bumpers all together unless you are building a shelf queen. The link you sent is just a chassis, so there is much you need to make it complete. Make a list and we can check it twice :)

I second the RD LOGICS, their stuff bends and breaks to easily.

Integy are no better, they are basically the same. Get the hard core or RPM, UE

but for steering purposes the steering knuckles will not break becasue there is not much stress on them any way right. what about plastic stock knuckles should they hold or do they have to much flex.

would the plastic steering knuckles work with a nonnotacable flex because i have 12 extra ones laying around and i don't mide replacing them if they break. so i just want to know if the stock arms are just weak and liable to break or there is actually a flexibility issue.
