Post by THUNDERSTRIKE1 »

I just picked one up from craigslist in person yesterday.It has chrome mip cvds,lunsford titanium purple tunrbuckles,heatsink motorplate,oneway front diff i guess cause not like the one in my other mt its smaller in width.Full bearings and 16 tires and 12 rims carbon rear tower and top plate and the brace plate for spurgear shaft.Lexan gear cover still had protective film on it.Pulled it off looks brandnew still.Just wondering what else was offered like maybe alloy bellcranks,better shocks?DON

A286 was the part number for the 2 speed tranny for that truck.

I think Wolfpack Radiclas had some stuff for the Nitro MT. Looked it up, and some stuff is still on their page - I am not sure if they are still around though.

Ah, good point, missed that it was the electric version.

some parts do and some parts not so much. They used to be a ton of aftermarket stuff for the rs4mt...checking with some of these links there seemed to be high hopes for this truck :o
