Hi everyone. My wife got me the DBXL K&N for Christmas and I am really stoked. I've run 2 tanks through it so far and tumbled it twice already. I am not a good driver, nothing high speed. Out of the box I really love this thing, I am totally new to 1/5 scale and gas. I just recently got into nitro with a buddies truck he gave me and like the scale and sound of it so much but this is a whole nother story.. I notice it needs quite a bit of steering trim adjustment out of the box - it pulls to left so I trim to the right a lot and it runs straight. Any advice is appreciated if there's something I can look at and adjust. Just doesn't seem normal to me but I don't know really. On my last tumble today it rolled over and later I noticed the roll cage cracked driver outside front bar towards the top. I glued it back together but would hope it hold up more than that really. Before I run it again I've been reading it needs an air filter upgrade. Can anyone tell me what you're running? I'm also looking at upgrading the exhaust and see the one on Losi site but also read about Bartalone (??). Any recommendations on a unsilenced or silenced exhaust pipe is much appreciated. I don't mind if it is a bit more quite. Otherwise I am not running it hard, or track or anything. No jumps but like to crawl rocks in my front and back yard. Are these shocks good for that? I also saw some tires on Losi site creepy crawlers looked nice. Well hey thanks everyone in advance for all your help if there's anything else I really should for it.
