I am looking for some hop-ups and stuff to trick out my Losi XXXT. Anything from screws chassi parts and shocks would be nice. I just can't seem to find any. While your at it lets hear what you have on your car/truck.
Thanx for any info

trick out hop ups, dont always help you drive better,
if you want a better car then get...
-a highy quality servo, the new airtronics ones (130 oz, and 200 oz of torque, thats a noticeable difference, and there speed is amazing)
-also get BB steering, it will also help you alot
as far as trick hop ups, get trinites rear pivot block, and their heat sink motor plate,
the key is to go faster, and not break.
however, what some people dont realize is that by going very consistantly, you can win alot. its amazing.
but also get the right tires, thats very imporotant,
and if you havent, a VERY important durablity hop up is
titanuim turnbuckles and ball studs. robison makes great ball studs, for much cheaper then the losi ones. and lungsford makes the best ti turnbuckles out their, hwoever if you want blue, then AE makes some nice ones.
hope this helps!

I think he means tricked out as in "cool" or different from everyone elses. Try a blue screw kit from Trinity, HG spring clips, Team Kinwald shock bushings, Losi blue front tires(they work just as well), professional paint job, yellow: shock ends/ball cups/spring cups/front body mounts/front skid plate, stuff that says "graphite" on it, aluminum: battery brace, arm mounts, hubs, threaded shock bodies, Factory Team Ti. turnbuckles(if you don't have lunsford yet), a good setup(big must have), a better driver(a bigger must have). That's about all I can think of.

Thanx.
This is what i have at the moment.
High torque Futaba servo...120oz
BB's in the steering (was the first thing i did)
Ti turnbuckles
Front and Rear Aluminum pivot block
Graphite shock towers, and A-Arms all around (something i really didn't need)
A whole bunch of PL tires and a few Losi's
Every color spring Losi makes 2.5
Every color spur Losi makes.
PRO painted body (cuz i can't paint worth a bull)
Thats basicly what i have put on the truck besides, radio, ESC, motor and reciver.
Gubbs hit the nail on the head. I already have all the stuff that i need to race with and wont break on me, now i want stuff to make my truck stand out from the rest of the ST's.
