Sorry but thats not an upgrade. But that was pretty funny. for a Savage X I'd probobly upgrade pipe but I'm not sure since I got an SS. Or something cheaper like Diff Oil (ofna) it would make it handle so much better around the turns with it in the front diff. I just put 50,000wt in the front and 30,000wt in the rear, gonna test it out real soon.

Team Losi Super Truck2 (LST2)

i think it depends on what you do, i am no expert but if you are:
racing: lcg tvp, wider stance, tires, pipe
bashing: shock conversion, rpm arms,pipe

i really dont know i think it really depends on your driving style and habits. get a picco p3 and better pipe along with wheeliebar.thats a good upgrade .

take your pick

i do agree also with rustlerbasher. just keep what u got, youd be suprised how much it can handle. i think the lst2's only advantage is that they say it handles much better out of the box. a savage can be made to handle very well , but lst2 is more trackready.

yeah, on the track I think the lst2 would be better. But in the bashing world, the savage is king.
