about a week after getting it a screw comes loose and finds its way to my flywheel and turns it into a metal salad.
so i upgraded to a lightened flywheel.
i also got a outerwears air filter prefilter and upgraded the steering servo to metal gears.

then i decided to make my own windows.(pictured) let me know what you think

then i got a jetpro v3 pipe w/ silencer (first pic)
also added a craftwerks spark plug wire.

and next i got a dx3.0 radio system
white rim set
and badlands

and later on i ripped the pipe coupler so i got a foot of new tubing.

tested the speed with my dads gps. went 44mph.

also in the past week i added a white wing and an in-line fuel filter(my dad needed to spend like 15 dollars to get free shipping)-no pics yet

nice man, i want one. Hows the breakage on these?

[Maxx man]

wow thats pretty sick!

I do know they are tough... Ive seen em take hits that savys wont drive away from

[pipi135driver]

well anything that weighs 20sum pounds flipping around will eventually break something but i havent really broken any thing major. ive bent a few things(nose plate, f of chassis) but they are easily bent back unless its really bad. actually i think the only parts that broke that really stopped me from driving was my dog bone and stripped steering servo. everything else was still drivable with a little tweaking and/or cation. i just like to replace things when they get worn. especially on something that cost this much to begin with.

the best part is definatly not having to tune the motor every time i take it out:p
and the gas <3

[NHRCA_Revo]

oh yeah the 1/5th scale, you must save a bunch long term then nitro. I want one soon just the intial cost is expnsive

[pipi135driver]

ya thats y everyone doesnt have one
heck ya. i probably havent even spent 30 dollars total on gas yet. and 40 minute run times on like a dollar is awesome:D
