[SwedishPhish]

Hey eveybody, I relativly new to RC, and Ive finally got ome cash to spend on my Sport T3, heres how i have it set up now:
Stock Everything except for 7-cell 2400 battery, 15 T double D4, Rooster Reverse. First I was thinking of replacing my front servo (its a standard Futaba that came with the Futaba Sport Radio) to a Hitec 44$ one with .15 transit time and about 80 oz torq. besides that servo,should i get mip cvds, titanium turnbuckle/hinge kit, or something else??? Please give me some advice here.

BEARINGS! The sport does not come with them i believe, but other than that, you look pretty set, I do not think that you can have too many batteries, so there is something else you can get. The Servo is a good idea. Also tires are a good thing

This is what I told another guy with a Sport T3. It's not all exactly for you, but most of it is good advice for ya.

Cool, dude. I'm glad to hear you bought such good cars to introduce you to the hobby. You're definitely on your way to competing.

OK, here we go. The motors you have are two very different types. The MVP is a very good stock motor (stick with those for now), but the AE 20 turn is major bottom-of-the-barrel stuff. Upgrade your T3 motor to an MVP or P2K and you'll be keeping up fine with your buggy.

As far as making these race-ready, this is what I suggest. The XX CR is great right now to take racing, but the T3 needs a bit of work before racing it. This is because it is the bottom-end truck AE sells. My brother recently got one and this is what I had him do. DEFINITELY upgrade these: motor >> P2K or MVP, bushings >> bearings, tires >> whatever will work well on your track (I guarantee the stock ones won't be great, ask around), dogbones >> MIP CVDs (might as well get shiny ones). These are highly suggested, but not manditory at first: steel turnbuckles >> titanium turnbuckles, stock servo >> high torque & speed servo. There are more I would add, but this will be great for now. Make sure you use the right pinion gear for your motor. A 20 or 19 tooth pinion oughtta do ya well with a stock motor and stock spur gear. Good luck!

...and most importantly, HAVE FUN!!
