I have a HPI Savage 25. I upgrade the parts as they brake... titanium diffs, upgraded gears and stuff. Nothing too great.

I havent played with it for a while so if anyone is interested in a sweet nitro powered monster truck, let me know

I have a Savage X 4.6 with buku pipe, rpm arms, and a wheelie bar (useless, the truck will hit that hard enough to keep going). A new steering servo and racing clutch bell with aluminum clutch shoes.
I'm waiting on hardened steel gears and flm dogbones too.

So far it's been clocked at 43mph, but I think I can squeeze a little more out of it now.

My roommate has a Revo with a picco in it, and that thing'll boogie.

Traxxas Rustler, has the old .15pro motor, Bogger look a likes in the rear and Proline tires up front, Dish style rims, RPM A-arms, big bore shocks + all kinds of different springs, tuned pipe + header, upgraded axles, lower ratio spur gear for the bigger tires.. for a .15 its not bad, just as fast as my buddy's stock Revo. Broke the electric starter/glow plug heater a year and a bit ago and havnt touched it since.

I got a Traxxas Nitro Vee R/C boat. It's a nitro powered one. I haven't done any mods to it, and I need to get the servos checked, since I nearly sank it last year . It does close to 40, I think.

I understand, My 4runner needs tires and sliders. I stare at the OME lift everyday in the garage, but r/c season just started,so....maybe if i just pick the right numbers, for the lotto.....Then all would be well.
