the chassis and gearbox's are the same. the dd has shorter arms and plastic shock mounts, while the usa1 has longer arms and steering knuckles and aluminum shock mounts.

Well looks like I have two usa-1's and parts to fix my third I am happy but the old lady cant understand why I have three of these trucks o well they look awesome and will be even better shelf queens thanks guys . I know this isn't the nitro talk but I also bought my self a hpi savage and am pretty happy with that now what to do to my one usa-1 should I build it into a crawler? if so I guess I need to find some thorp dirt burner axels or is there away to mod the gear box to accept traxxas axles? I dunno just a thought

there was just a bunch of thorpe parts on ebay last week, you can check again
don't do a crawler, the A1 suspension just isn't right, you don't see to many independent suspended crawlers it just doesn't work right
