New toy finally showed up!!!

[7THGENDMAN]

Whats up guys,

Just got the new MSR X5T in today and wondering what upgrades/mods you guys would suggest. I'm also looking for engine opinions also. Speak your mind. Thanks

nice, took awhile to get there it seemed. NR 528 motor, a spektrum(ed) radio, futaba 9350 steering servo, futaba 9451 throttle/brake servo. Not sure about the little mod secrets but the s-grid has a big thread on there with all the cool stuff to do to them. Mods for more steering and what oils you should run and such.

looks like a nice truck, shock looks bent up front though. Maybe it's just the pics?

shock looks very bent lol

Yeah it was a little longer then I thought it would be, but it showed up. I was looking into the 528, and I have servos. Thanks Tex.

Now, can you give me a link to s-grid??

Just the pics there guys for the bent shocks. I noticed that in the pic after I put them up. Funny not sure why it happened...
