Hey guys, as the long winded title states I just ordered a brand new redcat xb 30.5cc gasser.. I got back from vacation down south a few weeks back and had the chance to drive my fiancés fathers hpi Baja 5b.. Fell in love with fifth scale, yet I couldn't justify HPI money; XB seemed to fit the bill well.


* I am interested in what upgrades you long time owners are seeing the most value out of. I am looking to increase power, & reliability.


* What parts should I keep on hand at my workbench?


-- Any other tips are warmly welcomed! --


If anyone is in the Branson/Ozark MO area feel free to mention it. We can get a few buggies together.


Looking forward to talking to some of you enthusiasts! I have been into RC for a long time, but only nitro/brushless.. Oh how I have been missing out!

I would look into outer wear covers, and lock tite all set screws.

Then order up some replacement bearings, and a MT style gear plate.

Then save up for new tires and hpi wheel adapters.
 
Thanks guys I really appreciate the advice thus far. Links are always a plus! If anyone has any other things to mention feel free, I have bookmarked this page for the long term project at hand! :D
