Well I recently traded a E Revo I built up for a like-new Savage XL (and some cash for me!) and I must say I love how these things are built. After years of flirting with Traxxas and Losi, this is my first HPI and it seems like they come stock with all the upgrades the Traxxas stuff needs!!
Anyways like usual I start reading forums and find out what to upgrade....then start ordering....
So this is what I'm doing so far, everything either ordered or here:
LRP ZR .30/OFNA 086 pipe (already has a MotorSaver filter)
FLM HD XL TVP's, Motor Plate, Servo Plate, Servo Mounts & Drag Link
GH Aluminum Steering Rack/HD servo saver spring
Acer Ceramics all around (including 4 steering bearings)
CEN 220cc Tank & Header Tank
Rush Battery Box & Hump Pack
OFNA Linkages
eBay Servos (for now) 244ou/in & .13 @6v
The truck already has a Spectrum radio and better tires....so what's next? C-Hubs? Am I missing anything here? Is the header tank necessary with the CEN tank to eliminate HTL? I was thinking of installing it anyways, just for a little extra capacity.
And even though I have PPP servos, I've had good luck with them. Used them quite a bit without issues, but want to get JR's by the spring
One last question (for now) with the temps being around -15C outside, I'm worried about getting the LRP up to temps for break in, this is my first "aftermarket" engine so I don't want to screw it up.
Thanks in advance, I'll post some pics soon!
