Hi guys well after 1 week of normal on road usage. Cliped a gutter at about 15mph. Flips and cartwheels due to the overwhelming tourqe that the truck wants to flip on its ass.

Ive broken 2x hub carries. IMO their so weak !!!

All my shocks are LEAKING thats right all of them. This is without even taking it offroad and abusing it yet.

Broke 2 shocks today and a hub carrier again cliped the gutter again at full speed. lol. :mad:

Well so far Im happy by far the weakest point I think is the stupid hub carriers. The good thing is when you break one usually you break he c link that connects to the steering tie rod. you can just rotate it with another and your good to go again. (until you break the other side).

The shocks well im not impressed. The truck handles pretty good for a truck and has impressive tack off and top speed. I wont be modifying the speed of this thing just durabilty and handling. shocks etc.

NOW by far the coolest thing when I first got it is on demand wheelies and sitting it on its back. This got really old that my cover and rear bar now is so damaged that now I want to illiminate the wheelies. Too much damage and i get sick of running to flip it back over. If only their is a wheelie bar that will fit it ?

If not im just going to get some bigger wheels and road rage proline tires :) that should keep its nose down.

so ezilla owners were do you get your parts from ?

what shocks do you recommend. Im thinking of getting savage shocks but their a bit longer any idea if they will fit and post your ezilla pics up guys and tell us your experiences with it.

Include some tips of were to get some parts that will work with it.

Thanks !!

Heard that before could never find 1 item in stock now if you can link me up.

Does anyone know what pitch pinions the ezilla uses ?

I'm surprised that the E-zilla isnt way more durable. It's basically an electric Savvy(from what I can tell) made by an HPI subsidiary(sp?), and the Savage is renound for its durability.

umm no one said it wasn't more durable it will whipp the emaxx in performance, handling and durability standard vs standard.

like every truck their is a weak point and the zilla weak point is only the c-hub period if u bash hard and multiple cartwheel and hit a curb that is. :)
