Airtronics 94358 steering servo. MOtor is good. 4 gear diff mod. New tires. Have one way bearing on hand. Loctite all screws in and keep an eye on them. I went to lighter triple rate springs since I race. Helps with handling. Then went to 40 wt shock oil. Tuned pipe good. I have hotbodies pipe but want the THS pipe. Better cooling head not a necessity but helps. And for sure dual disc brakes.

hpi ribbed
motorsavers
metal spur
lower cb
better radio

yes the engine is awesome... but there are still better ones out there.
the ribbed and motorsavers will add sufficient power perfect for bashing.
and the lower gears have extremely fast accel, close to a buggy almost!

I put an Ofna MBX steering setup n mine. Also an Ofna throttle linkage set. HPI dual disk brakes. Kyosho spider diff gears. Definitely recommend the Robinson steel spur gear. Hitec 645 steering servo, Traxxas 2055 thrtotle/brake servo. Trinity 6 V 1100 Mah NIMH receiver battery.

Integy bulkhead braces were added after having stripped the holes in the plastic ones.

everyone says that they put in new steering servos. is it universal with all these nitro trucks that the servos suck or just the hpi trucks?
