| Got me a TH !
Just got a roller off a fellow member. I have an ESC/Motor, Rx/Tx, Batts and charger. It looks to be pretty well stock/uncut. I have $200 to spend. Keeping within that spending range, please list some "FIRST" mods I should do. I have been lurking for awhile and read alot of build threads, I see a TON of mods I want to do, but I think there are prolly some "FIRST" mods that NEED doing. Remember I only got $200 to spend right off the bat. Thanks Smitty |

Thanks Man ! Since it's used, I'm going to tear it down and do a total rebuild. I'll post pics along the way. Smitty |

| Re: Got me a TH ! Hell yeah man, I have a thread of my build on here as well. I busted it up pretty good a while back and decided to basically do a full tear down minus electronics (except steering servo). I'm stoked on my build, good luck with yours man |

OK, kinda done (lol). Switched up a few things. 1st, switched to a 12T 3030 KV motor. Changed spur/pinion to 90/16. Playing with shock oil weight and springs. GCM Tower, Great Mod ! Irie Steering rack, Great Mod ! I cut cage Down for more of a Truggy look. I locked the trans on 1st gear, however I just got a FS-gt3b, so I am gonna play with servos , now that I have EPA's. Still thinking of putting 2.2's on him. Pics coming later today. Thanks for looking Smitty Last edited by XtrmTJ; 05-19-2015 at 10:38 AM. |
