hmm... you did say hot bodies, right? sorry, savage brother. i have heard precious little good about their parts.

[55018speed]

ya that figures i knew i shoulda got the hpi setup.

[cretin]

that's what i have. you have to be VERY careful. it did look cool when i parked it on the front bumper though. well, til it flamed out anyway. i hate that i need a fancy radio just to get my brakes to not cause me to need a new body. am i a retard for wanting to keep my rtr radio, even though i have $1200 in my truck now? yeah, i thought so. nevermind. where's my tower catalog?

No. I love my stock radio. I've never gotten a glitch with it. Why change it??? Now if I had that sort of change to spend, a radio would be high on my priority list, but hey, if it works, why change it??? Just don't slam on the brakes so hard. And who gives a sh*t about bodies? It's just a lump of plastic that looks nice and takes the hits so the nice truck underneath doesn't get any scratches on it.

well, i do care about my bodies. to a point. i'd like to have abs and idle up, but i can't justify spending money on a radio just for that. i've got the truck tore down now for the post break-in rebuild (now that i know it works, i'm gonna shorten all the servo leads, waterproof everything, re-threadlock, blah blah blah...). i'm gonna try and figure up a simple to adjust brake system, cause my front tank, rear servo mod has forced me to abandon the stock brake actuator setup. i'll try and get the brakes where i am not afraid to use them.
