The final parts have arrived! I’ve been waiting bloody ages for this front shock tower (TRX6839) as it’s been out of stock at all the uk model shops for a while. Suddenly it’s in stock everywhere so can only assume a shipping container finally docked somewhere in Blighty last week.

I got straight to work replacing that shock tower. I removed the rear shock tower and slipped on the new one. I wasn’t sure which way around it should go but I made an educated guess.

When I got my second hand Stampede someone had replaced the stock servo with an extremely budget one. It drove ok as a Stampede but it didn’t like the weight of all the other bits. So I bought a (thankfully) second hand stock servo the TRX2075. Unfortunately it turns out that servo is pants too. At least I only paid £15 for it instead of £43 RRP! The stock servo only has a torque rating of 9kg and while waterproof, only has plastic gears. So I also bought a mid range servo that has a metal gears and has a torque rating of about 25kg. It was easy to install in place of the old one.

I think in Afterlife the props department used Savox servos but they are a little out of my budget right now. We’ll see.
