00:00Okay, if you've got an Arma Typhon or Kraton sitting in the garage,
00:03you already know how fast these things eat up stock parts.
00:06So today I went digging and found the 5 best budget upgrades that actually hold up,
00:11and trust me, these prices are hard to beat.
00:14First up, the metal wheelie bar for the 1-8th Kraton, Typhon, Outcast, Notorious, and Talion.
00:20This thing is a tank. It keeps your rig from looping over on hard launches and saves your
00:26rear wing from turning into confetti. At just $11.56 with almost 4,700 sold and a perfect 5-star
00:34rating, this is the easiest yes in the hobby. Next, shock wraps that fit the original and GPM
00:40shocks on the Traxxas X-Maxx and Arma Kraton 8S. These slide right over your shock bodies and keep
00:46mud, grit, and scratches off your shafts, so your seals actually last. For $10.86 and a 4.7 rating
00:54across 4,500 buyers, that's cheap insurance against a rebuild. Third is the metal shock
01:00absorber protection cover, and this one's a workhorse because it fits 1-8th and 1-10th
01:04scales, everything from Typhon and Kyosho MP10 to X-Ray XB4, Hubeo, HSP, and even the Wiltoys
01:11144001. It armors up your shock towers and arms against those ugly cartwheel landings.
01:17At $6.14 with over 4,300 sold, you're basically buying peace of mind for the price of a coffee.
01:25Number 4 is for the small-scale crowd, a 1-18th metal wheelie bar for the Arma Granite Grom and
01:30Typhon GROM. It's durable aluminum alloy, it bolts right on, and it tightens up the rear end on those
01:37little rippers. $8.84, a 4.7 rating, and over 4,300 sold tells you people are happy with it.
01:46And the last one might be the sleeper pick, the ADU Racing Nylon front or rear bumper for the 6S
01:51Croton, Outcast, Talion, and Typhon. Nylon flexes on impact instead of snapping, so it soaks up hits
01:58and protects your chassis. It's $11.66 with a perfect 5-star rating and over 3,400 sold,
02:06which says a lot. So there you go, 5 upgrades that won't break the bank.
