lol .. they do look shite i know :)...i swoped the rims because the standard buggy wheels do nothing for the mph on tarmac and i was trying to get it as fast as possible.... like i posted before it has three gears.... it does about 50mph in second gear and when it changes to 3rd the power sends it in to a wheelie for about 10 meters(thats normally when it rips the rear tyres off the rims)..the front settles and then it carries on excellerating through to around 70+... awesome car but very scary.. smashed it to bits a few time and can get expensive.. but a shit load of fun  :wink:

modded exhaust,filter,shockers,wheels.

last time i ran it... it ripped the tyres off the rims !! :)

what you got chops?[/img]

It was a HPI Savage25 now with a SH 28 engine, 3 speed, Reverse module,H-duty shocks, progressive springs, tuned pipe, titanium tie rods, bigger brakes, quick change diffs(it eats them), better tires(it ripped the centers out of the originals) and a bunch of other stuff too boring to type. It does about 60 and wheelies on command.
Oh and i fitted a Titanium scape block so itsparks when you wheelie 8) :)




 

Tit scrape block held on with Tit screws
 


I knocked up a roll-cage for playing on tarmac

 


I hope my misses doesn't read this, she might work out what i,ve spent on it :shock:  :)  :)

It's 1/10th scale so a bit smaller than yours. I broke so many diffs that iv'e got a solid piece of ally to stick in place of the diff. It's ok on loose stuff like sand cos you can drift it but i've got to put the diff back in for slow speed or tarmac :)
