biggest bang for the buck.

So this for the veteran owners...


Out of all the mods you have made be them fabricated or purchased which one was the best or the biggest bang for the buck?


Did it reduce dependability or increase it?


Were other parts affected in a negative or positive way?


Yes I am fishing for ideas here. Been in rc for a while now but this large scale game is a different animal than my racing truggies. A bit more fun too if I might say!

A good pipe is by far your biggest bang for the buck , next would be big bore kit together it will deffenately break parts LOL

Then I am well on my way to putting a hurtin on my wallet.

The aluminum gear plate should be the first thing you do. Then start adding power from there.

I assume you mean power adders when you say bang for the buck:


1 5b SS 8,000 rpm clutch springs $8


2 hpi 5b air filter set $20


3 angled velocity stack shreadstack $40


4 813 carb $40


5 head kit 28.5 $75


6 pipe side dom $100


7 wheels and tires (lighter weight and higher grip) $100-150


The list is different for durability.

very nice list, i complete with stronger shocks and reliable servos.

Then all i have left is the air cleaner goodies hamster everything else i have plus steelgears and new shocks.


I guess a bench mill might come in handy too as well a tig welder somewhere along the lines.

The list for durability is different for everyone becuase we all drive differenlty. As nanonali said you might want shocks (red cat 5mm kit?), and you have an air filter. Check out the checklist under "general" for ideas.
