Hey guys, I just decided to go lipo with my sidewinder. I bought some 3cell's and the first time out I twisted a C-hub, fixed it and twisted another one. I plan on going to alluminun on the steering and C-hubs but after I do that what else does everyone recomend changing? I have a r2d with a 12 pinion and a 35t motor if that maters. Any help would be awesome, thanks Dustin

looks like your headed down the right path

aluminum c's and knuckles
also might want to upgrade your drave shafts

Also go to hardened axle gears and a steel locker.

Let off the throttle a bit too...:-P

I ran a 1000kV Crwalmaster in mine and only popped a driveshaft, because I didn't let off once..

Go with Rcp knuckles and clockable C's, ss lockers and if you don't have the rear locked out, get an Rcp Lockout kit also. If you are wanting to be more competetive, then get some axial cvd's and DNA dig.

I drive a wrangler that is pretty set up.... I like the phrase GAS IT!!!

I only have problems when I get bound up. I guess I need to relearn how to take it easy.
