Default Pipe(and other parts) for Stock Savage X

Hi there,

I am going to buy myself a Savage X! Finally made a decision on this car!

And I thought why not get something extra at the same time..So I have two questions to you guys:

1. Will this [link=http://www.hpieurope.com/piw.php?lang=en&partNo=86186] RIBBED TUNED PIPE[/link] or [link=http://www.hpieurope.com/piw.php?lang=en&partNo=86139]Aluminum Tuned Pipe[/link] help performance at all on a stock savage x?

2. What more should I upgrade directly in your opinion?

Thanks!

the tuned pipe (ribbed)will give a little bit more horse power and you shud upgrade to dual disc brake conversion also steel spur gear and matched clutch bell also upgrade the drive train (cvds,drive shafts,4 gear spyder diff conversion etc.

i would get the polished pipe with these things

hump pack
if ya got the $ a new steering sero and a alluminum clutch, it will give it better bite when you take off and just al around better grip on the clutch bell

Hmmm, I was thinking...As I already have servos and transmitter I maybe should go for the Savage X SS instead..

Thanks! That is what I did now! I finally ordered the machine! I really hope I can manage to build it though as I have no experience in the nitro cars at all..But well, it will be good..

Thanks for all your help!

The instructions are really simple so long as you have a few tools and some blue locktite it should go pretty smoothly.

I really hope so! I am used to gluing things together as I am a plane guy but with some epoxy I am sure it will hold anyway!
