Make sure you get a good steering servo 160oz or better. Another thing is you might want to think about LCG tvps, but those are personal prefrence. Another thing alot of people do is the ofna throttle mod just do a search on here and youll find alot of info on it. And last if your really want get a new tank the stock tank has a half tank lean issue. Look up mid tank mod or new era tank mod and check out some of the things people came up with to get rid of it.

IMO LCG TVP's can come later IF you feel the need, ditto with the Ofna tank mod IF you have a problem with half tank lean. The ofna throttle linkage mod is a goodie to do straight away tho

Why why why. Why do wife get mad when husbands buy stuff for them self like RC. Woman have 300 shoes and hand bags but the men buy one RC or two they are already jumping on them.. I sometime think woman do not want to see men happy at all. I can understand that if you do not pay you bills on time and wasting it on RC and wife complain I understand but most of the guys I have heard from woman just do not like it when guy buy something that makes them happy and have fun that does not involve the wife.. I am not merry yet but I am really considering it not to..

That is one but $30 is way over priced considering it might not be the right length or anything.
