All RIGHT my friends! I am BACK in action! After destroying my buggy in a horrific crash (and after getting married and going on my honeymoon), I rebuilt my winner sport. Better, faster, stronger......... Here is my list of parts I ordered through Tower Hobby and Excel Hobby (recieved both orders within one week).

Full set of bearings - WOW!!!!!! what a difference!!!
Traxxas High Performance Tuned Pipe T-Maxx - #4942 - direct fit
Traxxas Pipe Coupler T-Maxx 2.5 - #5246 - direct fit
HPI Aluminum Exhaust Header Nitro 3 - #86037 - direct fit + boosted exhaust flow with some dremmeling
Futaba 2 PL controller - channel 83
Futaba S3003 - servos for throttle and steering
DuraTrax Micro Fail Safe Unit
SMT wheels and tires

Also check out the picture of my "no cost" mod to the shocks. I stole and idea from NASCAR's use of spring rubbers and I added some rolled duct tape and a twist tie to the top of the spring which effectly stiffens the spring. Much less bottoming out, and leaning through the corners.

Needless to say this thing SCREAMS NOW!!!!! My neighbors could not believe how fast it was going. I could only hold WOT for a second before it was down to the end of the street. I could not believe how well it rolls after letting off the gas. Those bearing make all the difference!!! Enjoy the pics......
