This truck is still kinda new to me. While on the trail I felt something catching in a deep part of the path. I'm pretty sure it was the housing on the front axle. I found out it's a TTB style front end. I thought the front casing was just some kind of protector plate but later learned about the mechanics of a TTB. I still haven't got it down 100%. Is there a product out there to better protect this front axle? Luckily I was just in mud, but I could only imagine what a rock would do to this axle. I've seen a few skid plates online, anyone ever tried one? Is there an easy way to find more ground clearance other than bigger tires? I read something about using washers to raise, as long as there are enough threads left on a certain point? Not sure what this is yet. Also is there any maintenance that can be done to all the moving parts on this TTB? Any greasing available?
