Default RE: need for speed

You dont need anything, but i would sergest the following:

[link=http://www.savage-central.com/ftopic3265.html]Header tank mod[/link]---To keep up a constant fuel presure into the carb
Titanium dog bones--- the stock ones might twist
Spider diff mod---The stock ones will eventualy wear away
[link=http://www.savage-central.com/article5.html]Dual disk mod[/link]---That extra weight and speed will need some way of slowing down
Extended chassis TVP--- because of the extra engine torque if you extend the chassis you will have more controll and more room for the other parts
[link=http://www.savage-central.com/ftopic2179.html]Throtle linkage[/link]--- gives you a smoother throtle linkage

While you do that you might as well upgrade the steering to handle the extra weight buy a Hitec 645MG servo and an [link=http://www.savage-central.com/ftopic2361.html]Ofna monster pirate servo saver[/link].
