Default Best upgrades for a Savage 25

I want to start doing some upgrades/modifications to my Savage 25 & I am looking for a good place to start. What would be some common ones to start with shocks, pipe, etc..

Thanks

4-gear, alloy cups differentials (replace the grease with silicone oil before installing). PM me and I'll send you the info of the eBay seller that has them fully assembled for $20 each. A good 6volt receiver hump pack.

The stock shocks are really good and really cheap to replace. If you really want to upgrade, then go with the LST2 setup. That requires (4) LST2 shocks and some brackets. Innovative RC has a nice bracket kit.

The HPI polished tuned pipe is a great all-around pipe, but lacking when compared to nicer pipes. An 053 pipe is a great performer. What motor do you have?

There are other things like better servos and TVP's as well.

x bulks (if u dont have alum ones) and shim ur diff's u can use hpi hellfire shims to do this, and if u have a high power motor then i would get some alum diff cups.
6v hump pack for ur rx
then just look at what u break and what u want to do with the truck
if u want to race then a lcg tvp set is a great buy also u might want to go ext lcg, the ext lcg's work great for bashing and racing.
also u can go crazy and end up with a 1500+ savay like most of us and it will look some what like this








btw this is what she looked like when i 1st got her
