Anyone have ant good ideas for me? So far I have a lightened flywheel, clutch, pinion gears (one set for high speed and one set for acceleration), tuned "outlaw" exhaust (I'm not to sure i want to put this in cause of the bulky design), carbon fiber brakes, and I think thats it. My goals are to have just a all out super fast car or one that accelerates like no ones business. Handleing in not of major concern for me as I feel I wont be entering and major races with it. Eventually when I run out of speed hop-ups I will focuc on getting all the handleing hop-ups. Let me know what you guys think...

well I was told that if you want major acceleration then switch out your motor to a .15 size motor...
 
Well if you want a real hop up, upgrade the chassis to a lighter one. If you don't have carbon fiber, get it, wherever you can

Avoid Aluminum, weighs more. Also, if you want a whole lot more speed strictly for bashing, get a .21 conversion kit, if they make one.

I've heard they make one but wouldnt that be a lil to much speed?
