Hey guys i was just wondering wat should i buy to hop up my xxx-nt I'm not looking to buy a new engine, and I'm looking to spend around $100 to make the handling better and shiat
 
pretty much what i do to my trucks is...
take them out and race/bash or do whatever you want with them, whatever breaks easily replace with a stronger part and if it just broke becuase i was being stupid i usually just replace it with a stock piece.

although if your cash is burning a hole in your pocket id say get some tires,a shock rebuild kit and some variousshock oils. this way you'll have some money left over for broken parts and you'll be able to set-up your truck to make it handle better and shiat

My suggestion right off the bat, would be to replace the stock battery box with one of these...

Then pick up one of these...

These are 2 parts that will break easily...

RPM also makes a wide bumper for the XXXNT to prevent the front wheels from impact..
The GH Diff nut, and RRP gear are also Losi Delrin Monster gear are also nice upgrades...
 
Dynamite 12SPD (Paris Dished) Pull Start Racing Engine, Short Crank - DYN 6506
is this a good engine?
 
The Engines That I Would suggest would be a RB C12 Engine, It is a Pullstart and Its a great engine. Also for better tuning and life you could look into the O.S. 12 or .15 CVR-X. I would take the O.S. Because they are screamers and they live along time with a correct tune. The Dynamite engine you are suggesting is a little less powerfull than the Mach .15 that you originally had, IMO. I Would keep the stock pipe on the car, Because it is a decent pipe. Then For making it handle better, Get a JR 650 Servo for the steering, The throttle servo that comes with the NT is pretty nice for doing the job. The last thing i would do is get an Extra Rear shock tower, It broke on mine easily when i had/ was into stadium trucks. I Hope you find your right gear! ALSO: Stick with the stock Radio, I love it, I still have it on my Mugen buggy. Later
