You get torque by using punctuation and creating whole sentences, not run-ons.

Was there a need to make fun of his punctuation? Just answer his question.

if u want it to run good off road i suggest getting the MIP 4-n-1 clutch shoes, they are AWESOME! Also if you want strength get RPM everything! thats for starters though...but if you have the money i will tell you more.

not to soundlike a jerk or anything, but aluminum adds alot of wieght, and cost more. Why not just get the graphite towers instead??

because these are what you call "Basher GT's" Graphite wouldnt hold up to the abuse, so therefore you would need stronger parts. I got Titanium cause i had the money, looked cool, strong, overall a nice investment. [8D]

honestly i dont know!

at the shop i went to, they guy there like told me everthing thats good...he went over my WHOLE truck and he was amazed that i ride with dogbones(he strongly suggested MIP CVD's). he also said that the newest chassis is the best you can get, 2nd best, believe it or not, is the tub!(but tub = more weight). I also saw some trucks like the Savage and Revo up close, along with the nitro evader. they even sold the very first bach of GT's!!!! [X(]

I got done my little shopping and all i need now is a new Radio and engine. I also saved like $25-$30 from getting my parts there then from tower! If that shop was near where i live, i would so go there all the time.

The shop was in southern PA, its called "Extreme RC Hobbies"
