Upgrades for Sportline '08?

[montreal31]

Hi all! If I was thinking of putting some $$ upgrdes on my FG Sportline'08. What would you suggest to start off with and what should I not bother with.

depends on what your wanting to do with it and what you think could use improving. i have an older sportsline model (either a 97 or 04, im not really sure) and im just upgrading whatever breaks or is worn out.

like i said, what do you want, more power, better braking, better handling, etc?

front brakes are a must have. good tires, more good tires, a few more good tires, good servos and a stiff chassis, alloy dif case, metal pinion and alloy spur carrier. ball drives are nice too. anything from there is more bling than a needed part... side rails for the body mounts are a wise investment too. I just make my own

Thanks Pipeous, just what I wanted to hear, it really does not need anything in particular, it was originally put together by the same group that put your F1 together out here...Already pretty good, like you said tires tires tires, they make all the difference, but I just wanted to add something, a little free cash waiting lol....The Bajas are already taken care of for rebuilds this winter, just wanted to not forget the FG....lol.

for sure. watch ebay uk. you'll find a nice used evo chassis for around $50. good time to buy too cuz sometimes it takes forever. I had one chassis take 9 weeks to arrive.but a $250 chassis for $50 is worth the wait.

if those guys built the car then I'll bet it allready has front brakes. my sportline f1 came with them.

Yes it has the brakes, voltwatch, cut off switch, braided fuel lines, Hitech servos etc...Will look for that chassis....Thanks.
