bringing buggy out for 1st time this year

Hey everyone. i was going to bring out my buggy this weekend, but it's snowing here and very cold. But anyways, back to my question. Before i bring it out again, what should i do to it to ensure a good year. should i change the oil in the shocks? What about the diffs?

Thanks,
David

you should change the shock and dif oils every couple of race meetings, not just once a year

doin that now, down to a bare chassis, few hrs later. only all the arms and knuckles are on. diffs cases, driveshafts, and upper controls arms next for the ole storm pro.

5-7-2 here, seems to work for me. used to use 3-5-1 when i had a significantly weaker motor.

No, there's no tracks really. the only other people up here that are really into RC are tractor pullers. More kids have started getting into it, but until their is a track in the area, i will just play on my 50 acres of woods.

on another note more on topic,

regular mbx5 or jammin pro (mayhem pro maybe)? those are the contenders.

reg 777 is a waste in my eyes, and other new buggies are not out yet or soon.

dont have cheese for prospec or xb8 or special 1.

thoughts, this will be my only car. stayin at 1 car no matter how much fun trucks look. i cant afford it even if they share so much in common.
