You'll be surprised with the Associated stuff. I've put some hurt on my buggy and have had to replace very little.That's awesome. I'll hope to see you down there. I raced for a lot of years when I was younger, quit around 18 when I found other things to occupy my time. Still have my Losi JRXT from the early 90's. Lol. Excited my daughter wants to race, she's pretty good with the Losi rock crawler... speed is a different game though. I suspect I'll be buying a lot of parts.
I have an SC10 as well as Jillian. Those are tough as nails as well. Good for the novice class, since buggies tend to get run over by all the short course trucks.
Looking forward to seeing ya down there!
