[JEXTEL]

So I have the Following:
4 spider mod (I install the housing wrong so I got to order more gears)
Hitec servos all around
S-25 huge Cooling Head
6cell 1300 mah Hump PAck
40 series volcity wheels on Bowties
Hi Flow Air Filter
HPI ripped tuned pipe

Now I want to get next week:
15t clutch bell
Mach .26

What should I do....
Also I plan on buying a lighter chassis, steering linkage, and ofna linkage mod, soooooo..speak up I want to race my first race SATURADY(THIS SAT)

Mach is a good start.

THS Pipe
Verigo Race This TVPS
Maximizer X-75s w/ bowties
Synth Radio
Nova towers w/ UE shocks
And your good to go.

I doubt you will be ready. Race what you got see what the pro racers at your track are using...

I dont understand that I need another set of bow ties and care for a link for the Shocks and Shock towers?

You could buy my Fastlane Machine shock towers....
These will allow you to run 4 buggy shocks, and drop your center of gravity for racing...

There's really not much of a weight difference..

Run what you got at the track on Saturday. I would not swap out those 40's bowties, they hook up real nice. As for the chassis, dont go with just the lightweight one, go for the extended, LCG chassis. Makes it so much more stable, from what I have seen. I also like these for the rear and these all around. I would also upgrade to the new HPI steering kit with some sealed bearings from AvidRC. Shave the uprights to increase your steering. Toe it out 2 degress on both sides in front. I also run stock shocks but with a green and purple spring mix all around and I put 3/4" of fuel tubing on the shock shaft INSIDE the shock body to limit the ride height.

I just switched to LCG TVP's and it makes a hugh difference in the trucks handeling powers thru the turns without fear of rollover. even the jumps become more predictable makes the savage much better on the track. if you want more info on the set I picked up goto www.savageracer.com and do a search for LCG TVP
