pipes performance.
i could be wrong and most of the time i am but i believe that the 330oz servo's by high tech are the biggest servo there is for the truggies.
i have two of them.
one in a jammin and one in a hellfire.
i took the stearing servo that came with the hellfire and replaced it with the hitech servo.
i left the throttle /brake servo that came with the hellfire in the truck and it has worked fine.
someone on this post said he wanted to make a truck that would make all others pee in there pants.
well it boils down to this.
you can spend all the money you want and buy all the bad a-- stuff you want but it ain't gonna be worth diddly squat if you can drive or handle it.
someone asked about a radio for his truck
now you can ask six different people the same question and you will get six different answers.
the radio that i own is the futaba 3pk with spectrum.
is this the best?
unknown.define the word best.
what would be considered best for you may not be best for me.
the 3pk has all the whistles and bells you will ever need.
it takes a philidelphia lawyer to figure out how to program it
once you get it programed it is a real joy to run.
now about engines.
i have the nova rossie rex 528 in my hellfire and some people say it is to much engine period.
some say that they run to hot.
last sunday i was running my hellfire and broke the a arm so i went to the hobbyshop and a short time later one of the guys i was running with came into the hobbyshop and told us that he had just fried his nova rossie rex 528 said it would start and run than when it got hot it would quit and not start again until it got cold .
will this happen to mine?
only time will tell.
one thing about it though he runs his a lot harder than i run mine so maby mine won't burn up like his did.
they don't call me sundial for nothing.
hopw long they last depends on how hard you push them.
thx Dirby
