Default Few upgrades to my X.

Not much of an upgrade, but boy does she run meaner! I threw on a hot bodies tuned crome pipe, and got rid of my stock rims/tires and threw on a set of axial oversized rims with some proline bow-tie 40 series tires. She now rips like a bat out of hell and handles much better. It runs like a different truck now.

Looks good.

Now take out the coil spacers and install some .5" internal shock limiters.

You need to get rid of that plastic clutch also. You will notice a drastic improvement of acceleration if you put a set of Mugen aluminum shoes on it.
