So are you sure the tsais exhaust would work with my tornado bb? Also what will i need to do to make it fit? Do i need to change anything?

will work no problem. The only thing is you'll have to mount the wire holder to the rear shock tower. The body might not fit right without a little trimming but that's no biggy...

Well the two speed tranny gears are always an issue unfortunatly.. More power and speed are most easily done with an engine swap. The os 18cv-rx is a great engine for the cost and is a lot better then stock. The os 18tz-tx has almost another .5hp but costs more(another $50) and you can't put a roto-start on it. The jato tires and wheels are a little bit bigger and will give you some top speed at the cost of some torque, but with the 18cv-rx you should still have plenty of power. I have waisted tons of money on aluminum parts on my bb and all it does it makes it heavier and more expensive to fix. I would just stick to the plastics. If it's going to break it doesn't matter what it's made of and some wrecks get "nasty". Might as well keep it affordable..lol After that it's all gearing. You can swap from the stock 42t/47t tranny to the lightning 39t/44t one, but once again the more top speed the less low end torque. And then there's clutch bells. If I'm not mistaken the bb comes with a 17t/22t bell. With the threaded rs4 bell you can up that to 18t/23t. If you want even more you need the threaded losi lst bell with either the rs4 19t gear and the r40 24t gear or the losi 25t gear and an ofna 20t gear for the rs4. The ofna gear I have been having some problems with. They have it listed wrong everywhere I've looked. The one listed for the rs4 is really for the 4tec and the one for the 4tec is listed for the rs4. It's been that way everwhere I looked anyway. I would stick to the 19t/24t combo at most for now. Once I figure out the part numbers I'll let you know for the bigger one..

Yea it has its problems here and there, but some cars you will spend more time worrying about something breaking than having fun with it. I am for sure changing the clutch bell, etc and may get extras but yea, the os 18cv-rx will give higher top speed and also more power?

The cv-rx will beat the stock engine on both. not by a whole lot on top speed. maybe 5mph. It's got a lot more "umph" though. lol

The hardest thing about trying to price these cars is the same thing that applies to real cars. If it had to be fixed to make it run-able it's not extra. It would be like putting a new engine in an old car. The car is still worth the same to everyone else except the guy who built it (because you know what went in to it). Even with the new parts it's a used car and I would be surprised if you could even pull the original price out of it. These poor cars don't exactly "gain" any value. It's more of the opposite. lol
