Welcome Another Akshay on this forum and RC world.

I think couple of present before you.

You decision of buying a good radio is absolutely correct, and my advice would be study lots and lots of fora, before taking money out of your pocket.

All the Best

can i find any upgrades for my sparrowhawk xt in model art ,i got my shocks leakin all time :headscratch: and they r plastic .I wanna get myself alum shocks like the once which u find in xxt,please help.

The XXT has Aluminium shocks? That's news to me.

I hear Traxxas Ultra shocks are supposed to work well. They will need TIN coated shock shafts and Aluminium caps to be durable though.

I'd wait for more info from Rajath.

XXT uses plastic shocks with aluminum shock caps. They leak too :)

I have read about others using Losi and Slash Ultra shocks on the XXT.

Please check my mod on the shock here:

Sorry for a very late reply.I thank rajath for his link demonstrating a simple solution to prevent the shock cups from slipping down,but i prefer to buy a new set of either plastic or aluminum shocks because the shock shafts are bent as well .I went to modelart yesterday where i found mt4-g3,,eb-4 and other on-road shocks but nothing similar to that of sparrowhawk,so they told me to come a few days later when they would get a whole bunch of their TT products from their warehouse.So please tell me whether i should go for sparrowhawk shocks with alum caps or shocks from an another TT truck which would fit the sparrowhawk and is completly aluminum or in case,the traxxas slash ultra shocks.

i am looking for shocks that fit the sparrowhawk xt and not for the slash,but i heard that the slash ultra shocks will do the job.Tomorrow i will be going to modelart to look for any tt shocks similar to the ones in sparrowhawk,if i dont find my requirements there, then i"ll let u know whether i'm interested in the proline slash shocks.

gan123

i've confirmed that the proline power stroke shocks for the slash will fit the sparrowhawk, so i would be happy if u can get them.

rajathv8

If I were you I would stick to the ultra shocks :)
For TT spares check with Indian model makers. You can find details in the mega list of rc stores thread :)

gan123

which is the best place to find the ultra shocks with,if possible alum caps?

iamahuman

You'll need to buy the Ultras and the caps separately. When setup right( which my ultras are not), the Ultras can do very well.
