Cool!
I recommend ditching the plastic arms, friction shocks, and using nut and bolts to hold the upper arms on to the chassis and hubs. The screws back out of the plastic after a run or two and sometimes in the middle of the run.:bang My boy has lost a couple dog bones in his BFX because of this.

I got a set of aluminum oil shocks and aluminum a arms from RCDamper off of eBay.

We are wanting to upgrade motors but Im getting a little confused between 12t and 21t motors?? What is the difference?

21T motors have loads of torque. They're mild motors, as far as speed goes. The 12T motors are very fast. Just make sure you're not referring to the Traxxas 14v 12T motors for the E-Maxx. They are slow on 7.2v, as they require 14v.

I just took and put in 2 Tamiya Sport tuned black can motors, changed to 20T pinions in my TD, and called it a day.

She is a fast enough truck for me, she is a ball to drive, and she is a lot faster then stock.
I think it is a perfect combo.
