Sounds good thanks
Just put a tuned pipe on here can’t wait to see what it will do now

 

[Divinetrue]

bought Bart pipe! This thing rocks!

Glad to hear you like it ... have you run the truck enough to see if you need heavier shock springs and thicker oil yet?

Is the pipe raw finish or plated?

Finished

Ah ok. Atleast you don't have to worry about coating it every run as I have raw pipes.

Yeah guy at the hobby shop told me about that. Said they look cool when they turn colors

 

[Rep732]

Yeah that looks hella awesome! What kind of air filter is that

 

[Rep732]

The red is a TGN redneck dual stage pre filter.. the actual filter is a uni 3" filter
I recommend as much protection between the air and the main air filter .. I have an outerwears pre filter,the tgn dual stage and then the uni

That would be my #1 next recommendation which is to upgrade your filter asap and especially if you run the truck in dusty conditions and pick up a quality name brand foam filter oil

I’m going to the hobby shop tomorrow morning to see what they have. Thanks for the info

Anytime also foam filter oil can be had at your local dirtbike shop or dealer. It doesn't have to be strictly rc related

Switch to the red losi springs, stock blues ones are too soft. Change out at least the steering servo, throttle servo too if you can swing it. The stock steering servo WILL burn out. I went with Hitech. Thicker diff fluid in front center and rear, at least 500K in the center. Thicker shock oils too. The stock bodies are pretty flimsy, mine was trashed after the first bash session. 30 Degree North bodies are tough. Skid plates front and rear are helpful.

Sounds like you beat the piss out of your rig if you trashed the shock bodies
