Default Kyosho DRX upgrades

HI. i decided to buy 2 used RTR kyosho drx nitro cars.

1st car has some upgrades .
First car parts:
KS-200 servo metal in the steering and a standard Kyosho throttle servo
Kyosho Perfex 27Mhz spark and HPI Failsafe
<u>Kyosho GXR 18 SP 3.0 big block engine</u> (what do u think about this engine )
5 bodies including new original kyosho citroen c4, tamiya citroen c4 with LED ...
5 sets of wheels
large amount of spare parts.

price 200 &euro;



Second car doesnt have upgrades just bigger 1/8 wheels
2nd car parts that might need upgrade :
this is translated by google translator so i dont know if its correct : " It still is a 40MHZ spark of model craft with the recipient must still be installed"
so i guess i have to install radio set




price 130 &euro;

What upgrades should i buy ?

What don't you like about the car currently? Start by upgrading that component. These cars do not need any upgrades right out of the box, so I say just drive it an enjoy it, no sense in upgrading unless you know it needs upgrades.

As i see you have AM-radio you could upgrade this to a 2.4 ghz instead, AM-radios is something i don't like at all as it is very sensitive to other signals that might disturb it making the car live its own life. As for upgrades i don't know where to point you, in fact you don't neeed any as these cars are very tough. You can take a look in [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10746508/tm.htm]my thread[/link] to see what i have done with the steering linkage as i found the stock one very sloppy and loose.

You don't need two radios, just buy a computer radio and buy more receivers for it.
