  • Uni-Crank – The servo saver has undergone a material change to add higher strength for an even better steering response.
  • Big Bore Velvet Coated Shocks – Previously available only as an option part, the ultra smooth big bore shocks take over where the previous velvet shocks left off and dramatically increases rough track performance. This also includes the extremely tight tolerance X-Gear springs. New gun metallic color cap and spring adjusters.
  • Tungsten Diff Balls – Changed from steel to tungsten diff balls which delivers vastly increased strength and durability.
  • Aluminum Clamp Hubs – Included are a full set of aluminum hex clamp wheel hubs to hold firmly the wheels in place.
