1600mah Vermon battery is seeing a little better run time but I think a lipo 2s is needed next.Hot racing shocks are far better than the stock ones and I’m using 27.5 weight shock oil.I have the new bearings on the way so can’t wait to change them out. I bought the Hailboxing replacement wheels they have the 12mml hex and just a little bigger and I sprayed the hubs.I know you have the torment so slightly different. But out in the muck they just don’t grip. The wheels were the biggest thing that disappointed me, the speadthreads are great on slick garage type surfaces. I’m swooping parts out mostly because I have too as the I’m finding out the hard way what goes wrong with these 1:18’s on first use. (As I would just be a bystander if I didn’t). Hi, I also just got the Ruckus this Christmas to have and play with my son. Here are some threads discussing these vehicles and their issues. A transmitter and receiver of your choice. Carisma GT14B diffs you need 2 of these.Losi Mini 8ight slipper assembly - or.Hot Racing Shocks you need 2 sets of these - c=861.Hot Racing CVDs you need 2 pairs of these - c=861.Save yourself some money leave the Torment alone and buy a Tacon Thriller Brushless and live happily ever after. You could throw all the upgrades available at the 1/18 Torment and still not be anywhere close to the box stock durability of a Tacon Thriller Brushless. Finding replacement tires can be a chore. There is so much slop in everything it is impossible to drive straight down the road. The stock shock caps blow out when just driving it around normally. I had the thing for all of 3 days and the rear diff started clicking because the butter soft gears stripped out, oh and you can't just buy a diff or the gears for it you have to buy an entire bulkhead at $24 a pop when that happens or you have to spend $23 plus shipping from the UK for diffs out of a Carisma GT14B and the Hot Racing steel cvds for the 1/18 Ruckus/Torment/Roost. I had the 1/18 Ruckus and pretty much gave the turd away instead of trying to fix it. First you picked a horrible platform to want to modify.
