hey everyone i have some cool stuff on my tmaxx like an os cvrx.15 engine, mip stinger pipe, rpm claws, Mip cvds in the rear and rpm shock towers, trinity battery pack. What are some things that would give me wheelies i have stock gearing. I need more speed! Also is a temp computer a good thing to put in the truck. Also what are some cool hop ups that would make it go faster wheelie and look nice.

Thanks everyone.

You could put some titanium stuff in there to lighten the load a bit. A MIP clutch would be good and possibly a boost bottle. Some ball diffs would help put the power to the ground too.
A .21 conversion would really make it boogy, but thats another story.
A temp gauge is a good thing to have, all you have to do is give it a quick glance and you know if your engine is correctly tuned or not.

Your right, nobody makes a ball diff. The only thing I found for a diff upgrade is Robinson Racing metal gears. Sorry I thought I saw a ball diff before but obviosly I was wrong.

A boost bottle just plugs into the engine or goes on the backplate, here's a pic:

Yes you do have to drill, here's an article explaning how it's installed:

MIP boost bottle Installation
The MIP boost bottle was easier to install than it looks. The instructions are confusing so I will help clear them up
a little bit. I installed the boost bottle onto a TRX Pro .15, which the instructions will be based on. First thing you
have to do is remove the engine completely to acess the carburator screw. To remove the carburator unscrew
the nut behind it and pull the carburator out. Once it's out you should plug the opening so no dirt gets in it and
also clean it why you have the chance. Slip the round drill guide on the bottom of the carburator and put the screw
through the threaded side of the guide but do not tighten. Turn the drill guide so that the side without the screw in
it faces the engine head and then tighten the screw slightly against the carb to hold the guide in place. With the
open hole facing the engine head use a drill and the supplied drill bit and at slow speed drill a hole in the carb. Make
sure there are no metal chips inside the carburator when you romove the drill bit. Set the carb aside for now. on the
engine remove that long screw that holds the carb in and install the one provided in the package. Put the carb in place and
tighten the nut, then put the tube supplied on the end of the screw. Reinstall the engine and mount the boost bottle. On the
4-Tec Imounted it in front of the shock tower.

I heard that boost botles only cause trobles and make it hard to start and keep running.
