Tuned pipe, gas flowed, reed valves if really necessary, longer throw ...
Boost bottles ... I bought a set 15 months ago, tried tuning the truck, found I was leaning and leaning and leaning .... seemed sort of OK, but definitely no better, and the thought of running so much leaner put me off - lack of oil lubricating the engine - so I removed them.
I haven't the heart to put them on Ebay, as that would make me as big a hypocrite as those claiming all of those wonderful things when they're installed.

Well first off i have heard it's not true 1/4 scale ,but it is bigger than the 1/5s so good enuff 4 me.mine is burried under boxes in the living room(yes i'm single) haha. so here is a link to one on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/1-4-RC-Hummer-3...pt=Radio_Control_Vehicles&hash=item29feaea058 I have seen them in black and yellow I went with the yellow looks nice IMO. The ebay seller has full parts available they sent me a parts list. As I said I got mine for $600 new so I figured what the hell try a large scale.I haven't ran it yet because I heard someone recommend taking the whole thing apart and loctiteing all the bolts. doesn't sound like a fun project so it's still sitting.Oh 1 difference on mine the shocks are gold which I think looks a little better.The suspension seems to be quite stiff but might break in with a few runs? there is another site with better pics but it gets blocked if i post it here? e/n/g/a/g/e/r/c/.com

Looks similar to an MCD clone... Not a 1/4 scale though, it's a 1/5 scale. Still big enough to have some fun with.

I need to see this "35cc" motor though... This is only the second time I have heard of such a thing in a vehicle. The first time the guy couldn't back it up because it was a clone three bolt 23cc.

Thundering, make sure you get up some pics and vids of it when it get it dug out :)
