Caldera 3.0 Hop Ups???
I baught a caldera 3.0 for my son about 2 weeks ago to give to him for his Bday on the 11th he will be 12 so figured its time he one to run with
me and my friends at the track we all run LOSI Truggies and Buggies for the most part and i figured for the price of 180 seemed like a good deal
i should have done research i guess truck runs great break in went great got the 6th tank in it and went to open it up and test it out on the street
no jumping or anything crazy just open the throttle and see what happens well half way down the road i turned it around hit the gass and
stripped 4 teeth off the cheap plastic spur gear in it.... Oh well ordered a steel spur gear put it on back in buisness then i go to upgrade parts
from plastic to aluminim hahah there are not hop up kits for this truck on the site??? there are some for every other truck or buggy or car but this
one so my question is will the valcano or one one of the other trucks kits fit this one? or what trucks out there by HPIor any of the other brands
will cross up witth the Caldera i just think its made rather crappy with the plastics they arnt very durable aluminim would be better but i cant find
anyting for it to upgrade it???? hate to give him a truck that he takes out with us and everything fails in the first 10 mins on the track lol....

RE: Caldera 3.0 Hop Ups???
i've been looking into getting either a caldera 3.0 or a volcano s30 for myself. like you i noticed there are upgrades for the volcano but nothing for the caldera. if anyone knows of hop ups for these trucks and what other brands fit them it would be a big help, thanks
