You mentioned a Sav for £299 Where? If you don't mind. Was it the roto start? -- Instead of a sig, here is a magic eye picture. Stare at these dots until they merge into one. . . Great, now piss off you boss-eyed twat! There are 10 types of people in this world; those who understand the binary numbering system and those who don't. > You mentioned a Sav for £299 > > Where? If you don't mind. Was it the roto start? The 3.5 is £299 on ModelSport I beleive, I'm not sure if it's Roto, but a Roto can be had from Ebay for less than £20...

Apart from rotostart, is there any essential upgrades I shuld "feel" the need to make quickly? I'm thinking strength here ;) >> > You mentioned a Sav for £299 >> > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > essential upgrades I shuld "feel" the need to make quickly? I'm thinking > strength here ;) No real strength upgrades needed out of the box as she's pretty damn tough! My suggestions, with approximate prices in US dollars: 1. Slap the stock steering servo (SF2) on throttle/brake, and run a Hitec 645MG/Hobbico CS-70 or metal-geared equivalent on steering. Save the OE throttle servo (SF1) for the reverse when you buy the reverse module. $39.99 2. Replace steering bellcrank bushings with bearings, you'll need (4) 6x10x3mm. $4.99 3. Relocate throttle return spring from stock location to run between the roll bar and throttle linkage in front of the gas tank; this will give you much better throttle return and serves as a mechanical failsafe in case of rx battery failure. I can send pics if you'd like. FREE 4. 5-cell rx hump pack (order one with male JST/BEC connector) for a direct fit with stock electronics. $19.99 5. NOVA race pro cooling head. S-25 likes to run hot, the NOVA head will tame it nicely. $39.99 6. MIP on-board temp gauge is a must unless you already have an IR temp gun. The on-boards are much more accurrate IMO. $19.99 7. Dirt Bonz tires on whatever wheels you choose. $50.00 8. HPI wheelie bar (you'll need it!). $15.99 9. Center skid plate (I have an integy and it's ok) $15.99 10. Aluminum fuel tank guard (3-racing makes a great one). $9.99 11. Motorsaver air filter $19.99 12. HPI polished pipe $25.00 Guys, did I forget anything?

Till then, only use Duracells or VERY good rechargeables. > 5. NOVA race pro cooling head.

Dirt Bonz tires on whatever wheels you choose. $50.00 Yup Bonz are quite handy, join www.maxbashing.com as well :) > 8. HPI wheelie bar (you'll need it!). $15.99 With a 3.5? I'm not sure he will :-) > 9. Center skid plate (I have an integy and it's ok) $15.99 I have a GPM - it's also ok - they're hard to get wrong really! But they do help keep shite out of it's insides. > 10. Aluminum fuel tank guard (3-racing makes a great one). $9.99 Heh, mine got torn off during bashing - I never replaced it, never bust a tank either - but if you're running on gravel I'd recommend it. > 11. Motorsaver air filter $19.99 The 3.5 comes with the same filter as the SS 4.6 now - which, IMHO, is just as good as a motorsaver. > 12. HPI polished pipe $25.00 Yup, the composite one is crap. Or a ribbed pipe, which works well with the 21. > Guys, did I forget anything? Don't think so! SignatureDan |
