@Mira-rc-man welcome to ECX Forum!

For bearings I would recommend checking out FastEddyBearings. He offers great bearings for a very reasonable price.

What would the bearings do to help the car?

 

[i_r_beej]

The bearings that come with the car are "shielded" meaning that they don't have rubber contact seals. Bearing kits, like that from Fast Eddy, typically feature sealed bearings. Sealed is better for outdoor use.

RPM suspension arms for 2WD ECX vehicles (an excellent upgrade):
Rear swing arms: RPM70462
Front swing arms: RPM70582

I DO NOT recommend the RPM front spindle carrier as the shoulder screws work they way out of the softer plastic. Instead buy Hot Racing's ECT2106 "aluminum steering blocks." You can then secure the shoulder screws with a bit of thread locker glue and never have another issue.

I really like ECX's own aluminum shocks. They're actually quite nice for the money and are a direct fit. I've experimented with Traxxas Big Bore shocks and did not like their performance. I recommend replacing the shaft seals with "x-ring" type o-rings. The x-rings have two ridges that effectively double the number of sealing surfaces without increasing drag. There are many brands (Associated, Yokomo, Kyosho, Traxxas, Losi) but I use Kyosho's "P3 grooved o-rings."
Front shocks ECX1095
Rear shocks ECX 1096

I can't really tell from the photos but did you install RPM's "Servo Saver Eliminator" steering bellcrank?

For wheels and tires? I recommend just sticking with ECX brand stuff. I once tried Associated's T4/T5 truck wheels but their offset was too much and caused all sorts of problems-- I had to install wider hexes AND 2-3 mm of shims and still the rim rubbed on the steering rod end during hard/fast turns.

The ECX Circuit wheels are pretty cool looking, too: ECX43004
As for tires? What surface will you be driving on? There are tons and tons of options out there.

Proline Renegade wheel and tire combos work well with the Amp. There’s been some good suggestions here. I would add from my experience to avoid aluminum rear hub carriers. They don’t flex like the plastic ones and cause premature bearing failure. I’d recommend the rpm oversized hub carrier instead if you find yourself smoking rear bearings.

I also mounted proline caliber buggy wheels with foams to the original amp rims. They stick to loose dirt like sandpaper. They have been discontinued, but you can still find them online. 2.2 buggy tires.

Where'd you find the Chevy body? Did it fit or have to modify it?

I got it used, but if you did a quick search for jconcepts Stadium truck body, I’m sure you’d find it. No modification except needing a circuit, ruckus, or torment rear shock tower.

So the rear ruckus shock tower bolts right In no problems ? I need to do this so I can fit my 53 Chevy truck body.

Yep, I also got the torment body mount kit which would help with the Chevy. I used to run a K-5 Blazer body on it. I posted a thread on the details here if you do a search.

Do you have any thoughts on the DSM Bearings? they are $5 less?
