Ive had my brushless 2wd ruckus since early 2016. It sat for the past couple years but recently pulled it out of retirement after a kid at work started bashing his slash after work. We now have 3-4 people regularly bashing in the field outside of our job after work and ive been bitten by the rc bug again.
So we have a dirt hill we are jumping and landing in the grass, getting a pretty good amount of air. In the past few weeks he has spent around $300 replacing and upgrading parts for his slash while my ruckus has took zero breakage untill today .... and i didn't really break anything - just lost the oil in my front shocks.
Anyway, This ruckus is still stock and the steering has gotten worse and sloppy and snakes in reverse, everything is just wore out.
Im looking for advice on parts to get and how to setup for some parking lot bashing/jumping.
I think since its brushless it has the metal geared trans already if I remember right.
Basically just need suggestions/ parts list to get a solid basher.
Shock upgrade/what weight oil?
If I upgrade esc can I run 3s? (my stock esc has took damage and nolonger water resistant and acts wonky)
Do I need new servo for better steering? I remember something about a zip tie mod for reverse wobbles
I almost ordered hot racing axles since that's only part ive broken before, but read alot of bad reviews about them..... whats best options for rear axles?
I probably need to replace bearings or hubs altogether.
I stripped a wheel and was going to order 2.8 proline trenchers on desporados (will these fit?) but also wondering if theres any slightly larger options?
Could anyone just list what they would upgrade if building a dedicated basher/jumper....thanks!
