Upgrade engine, upgrade anything else?
Hey i just got a STS 28 engine, for my savage, i wanted to know if there are any parts i should replace on the rest of the truck.
I replaced the spider gears inside both differentials, one of them was stripped so i upgraded to the 4 bevel gear kit. Also some 30K weight oil, keeps the wheels almost locked, Motor saver filter, very easy to clean and reuse, also have a set of prolite mulcher tires. ( studded). Ive been told to upgrade the wishbone shafts. What modifications do you guys think i should upgrade for the best performance. I want to keep it legal for offroad racing at my Off-road LHS track. Thanks guys

STS .28 Nitro Engine
3 speed transmission
Spider Gear upgraded Differentials
Motor Saver Intake

LCG chassis is the most important upgrade if you race your savage. do you have the dual disc brakes? they are nice! short shock set-up is also good. check www.rockconcepts.net for the LCG chassis for savage.
