tires,rims,more tires.clutch bells,bearings 5x10,wings and wing support,fule,frount shocks,new pipe 086ofna,diff oil 5k 7k 1k,
and ask imbroken to paint you a new lid he is good...

The temp gun you can get for 25 bux. A better pipe like the 086 pipe by RB or Ofna. Tires I would try the new Knuckles 2.0. I was thinking of getting the torsen diffs for experience but they are pretty pricey.

I second jon2 on the new pipe the Ofna .86 pipe is good, = more power.

Why don't you just spend that extra money and buy some nitro so you can figure out what you want to improve on your RC. It's your rc, what don't you like about it? Too slow? Too fast? Shoes suck? Suspension? Not knocking other peoples ideas here but how the hell do they know whether you are going to like the upgrade they are suggesting. It's your RC, act like it is yours.

If your looking for hopups, here are a few that I came across...

There's not a 19234 on that page. There's a 19240?

It was on that page... They removed it for some reason. It was a lowered, nearly flat, engine mount. I was told that it brought down that center of gravity... Oh well.... I'll see if I can find a pic of it...

Here it is....
Hopups..

I'm just looking for suggestions....I'm still knida new to this rc thing.

So what's your buggy doing that you'd like to see improved. A slight goal in mind is better than just upgrading for the sake of upgrading.

Hell if it's running as good as you'd like then just buy fuel and save for sets of shoes.

 

[vbgagnon]

thanks ep. it runs pretty good for now so i might just get some new shoes.

Extreme NOOOOB question!
What are the advantages to haveing a upgraded radio/reciever. I the one that came with my prc and have no problems with it. Are there special things that you can do with an upgraded one?

 

[Hypedonrc]

Not for sure about the one you have, but an upraded radio lets you set end point adjustments (EPA), and more. the EPA is what I like most other than all the fm channels so nobody is ever on mine, and there is never any intefearance like you sometines get with am radios. Lots of other features that I don't even know about yet, like a friend of mine was keeping lap times the other day, but I was still pissed about my broken wing mount to ask about that.
