I would suggest a wheelie bar and the XL engine cage. I don't know why HPI put the cage for the X in the box or why they don't include a wheelie bar. Nice rig you're gonna love that truck I have one myself.

Watch your temps and if you can stomach it, cut the windshield on the passenger side after you do the break in. I'm running about 10 to 15 degrees less with it cut open. I followed the hpi break in and after using that heavy oily traxxas fuel, I converted it to pull start. With the one way bearing design, if it gets full of oil the engine will not turn over because the one way will be slipping. Just some advice.

thanks, i 've heard that the k5.9 is kinda prone to running hot, so i will definately be putting some cooling holes in the windshield. I want to convert mine to pull-start, not a fan of the roto start myself. thanks for the info.
