Parts available on Aliexpress, just search for VRX 1/10 Parts, here is an example: www.aliexpress.us/item/325680...
Similar Truck: FTX Carnage (FTX5543), VRX Racing BLX10 (RH1013) Some differences I spotted: are body, up next are better components, bumper, chassis, battery, Hobbywing ESC, metal top brace

Really helpful video my friend. I see this recently on Amazon for $150 which in my mind is a great buy! I have a rebadged and similar version of this by Bezgar and so far I love it. Your absolutely right though, no skateparks for this!👍🏻😎

[@customtoyrevolution]

Glad it was helpful! It's $125.99 now 😃

FYFRc put their prices up on stuff like metal suspension holders recently, but they have them listed several times in different packages (like with diff housings that are always useful to have spare) so make sure you search for part numbers

[@customtoyrevolution]

Thanks for the info. Parts I needed are around $10 each www.aliexpress.us/item/3256801558266066.html

@@customtoyrevolution on my vantage 2.0 I broke 3 plastic steering arms, i can recommend upgrading them too, but so far haven't broken any hubs

[@customtoyrevolution]

@@shadyhazza Good to know

[@savinroberts7454]

Any links for this?

[@savinroberts7454]

Mine wheelies just fine. The front suspension arm holders ARE the weakest point. I’ve broke 2 plastic ones. Do the aluminum alloy. It WILL do a wheelie with full throttle on grass, 2s battery. With 3s battery, it wheelies uncontrollably on full throttle, need 75% throttle. I have 2 Thunders, so don’t believe all of this video.

[@customtoyrevolution]

Good for you, just no wheelies here. In case someone else read this, 3S requires active cooling unless you are running on very cold weather, or want to burn up your motor
