Recommend hop ups for MR
 

What are some of the basic hop ups been done to the madrat and other ansmann cars?

I have heard:
threaded shocks from ass B4 or losi xxx

Please post with links and or pics if you can

Shocks of some discription yes.. I use Traxxas Big Bores atm. I've had to do some mods with the shocks, but they are nice. Later this year I might try the TC Big Bores.

Also Front hubs and Rear Hubs I think are a must.

I'd also get some proper Turnbuckles.

And apart from a new bodyshell that's all I can think of as things I'd do...

thanks... and suddenly the cheap car gets expensive is that why people buy the x6 pro or what it was called

Get the $99 one from ebay and use your MR as spares.

You can upgrade on the cheap and still get good results.. shock wise try Traxxas Ultra shocks, plastic bodies, they are £30 for all 4. Or you could grab a set of Ansmann Master Smacker Shocks, they again are plastic bodies but have alloy caps, excellent shocks and only £10 for full set.

If you want something with fine tuning get a set of HPI firestorm shocks, they are superb. They will set you back £42. My Firestorm eats rough stuff up.

They rest of the car is pretty decent...it's really only the shocks that let the madrat down as the caps pop off so often.

you must get a full bearing kit too:drool:

I have the full bearing kit, was the first upgrade
I have a set of traxxas shocks from a bandit, they might be better than originals

I have heard that the front suspension arm holder maybe is weak 125000413 does that need a metal one instead?

Also the rear chassis plate should be in metal/carbon 125000408

Whats the big difference with the 99 (dollars or pounds theres a difference) car? Is all those upgrades already done? Link anyone?
The only £99 one I can see is a madrat RTR or the X2 but thats £180 +

How do I hyperlink like you did kaylon?

Rcmart/ Dinball sell the team c version on eBay .... But it says not for sale to Uk buyers.
Search eBay for team c tc02 and you'll see what I mean.
