On mine I had the Tamiya buggy big bores 54504,54505. Look up the website plazajapan, have them at a good price. Another option but I haven’t used is Tamiya tt02b df03 alloy dampers.

I did have 20 a few years ago but a lot of them were not getting used and taking up space. Then I went thru this building and selling phase. Now I mostly keep my collection to runners. I am at 4 right now. With room for 1 or 2 more in the future. My favorites are buggies and monster trucks. Below is my perfect(ish) collection for me.
Super clodbuster gray edition: Always wanted one as a kid. Tried making one from axles a few years ago but gave up and sold the parts. Purchased the gray edition kit and loving it. Upgraded with parts from ukmonsters.
Top force: Had a 2017 kit but foolishly sold. Making a new top force evo out of parts. I am still building.Ultra hornet: Kind forum member who let me make one of their designs.
Kyosho ultima rere: My fastest buggy currently. Didn’t get a lot of run time last year due to leaky red shocks which are now changed out. Some upgrades are rb7ss shocks, Kyosho turnbuckles, speed gear set, 13.5 brushless motor, factory works shock towers.

I haven't used an oil filler diff before, anyone recommend an appropriate viscosity for general offroad use and possibly a brand too?
thinking if i get it too i will try 5000 to 7000cst team associated diff oil . oil diff is going front ?

I foolishly sold my top force a few years ago so I will be getting one…. Yay new top force for me. Already purchased a few goodies like front and rear carbon shock towers, carbon shorty battery holder, alloy steering set and alloy motor mount. Later I may get some different wheels and tires.

yes you need a new kit like a td4, td2, or bbx.
have you made the switch to lipo or brushless? if not then a hobbywing 1060 and a tamiya superstock bz or rz should be fun.

I have used my new build clodbuster a lot last year and never broke the stock anti rotation plastic part. if you want to upgrade go for metal.
