any input from some racers or whoever? I'm looking for just about anything?

I'm gonna run a tmaxx with an os 18TZ and 4 hole shots and dish rims soo far... i need better steering to boot if I'm gonna race and i guess shocks?

you think i should keep it as stock as possible to avoide weight!?!

again any help is good thanks!!

that sounds like a fun class to race......get bowties or crimefighters for tires...hole shots may be too aggresive if the dirt is hard.....if you can dig into it then use the holeshots......Hitec 645 steering (proline steering kit and aluminum servo arm) and 625 throttle brake servos....FM radio (3pm or MX-3 are nice radios for the price) If you haven't yet get RPM arms and on e-bay there is a deal on the shocks/CVDs and Ti turnbuckles for 113 shipped...RPM arms are about 45 shipped for all 4 corners...get the center CVDs too when you can and you should be pretty good to race for a while.....I'd beef up w/ aluminum bulkheads/chassis braces and diff case/cups as well to eliminate excess flexx......should be good to race for many many moons like that......have fun and good luck at hte track
