    Default 200 bucks...what would you do?

    I got a new half 8 coming. With 2 bills to spend on hop ups what would you get? Go straight to a motor and esc set up? Or just do the ebay deal and get the 75 dollar hop up set from GPM? Plus a chassis. Any thoughts I need to get rid of some stuff first

    ...DONE 200 buckaroos? KYOSHO oil shox, URC battery of your choice, BOCA Bearings...The shox will get you a MUCH better ride...URC is your powerplant and BOCA will keep it all going like it should be...then you can start replacing stuff as it breaks...You will probably do your front knuckles first Just dont lose the screws...

    ...EDIT: BlackHawk beat me to the punch...Yeah you will probably lose your front tower right off the bat so grab one of those too...

    Bit what boca bearings do you reccommend? All I saw was a huge price tag! Are they worth it?

    No rims. Or nothing with the slipper? I wont be racing(for now at least) just running around the house and golf course. Something about screws stripping somewhere also? SHould I worry about that as well? Should I stick with Nimh and stay away from Lipos in the Half 8? Something about it being designed for nimh not lipos.

    Um you can use the stock wheels/tires for awhile. I would wait till Proline comes out with some. As for the slipper do the Bithed mod....you can find it if you search. I would stick with some GP1100's instead of LiPo.
