worst hop-ups -
09-23-2004, 08:05 AM
Ok, I've seen a few of you make a mention of the worst things that you bought for your cars or trucks. Well this is the thread to air it all out so others dont make that same mistake.
The worst things i bought for my sprotmaxx was a cvec pipe for the trx 2.5. The truck never ran right after i installed it. Then I had to have the motor rebuilt, another waste of money. After a year of screwing around, i ditched the pipe and motor for a mac pipe and fantom motor, so far so good.

Aluminum gas tank(leaked and inconsistant tune), dynamite fuel filter (un-tunable, lean one second rich another, newguy can back me up), anything hotbodies.
I have bought so many useless hopups that sucked and sucked my wallet dry that I can't even think of none. That's how many there was. I calculated what I spent including my maxx in the first two years of owning it. I came up with $1500, and all I had that was decent was a motor and tires. After fully scoping out the UE stuff I know not to buy anything else except UE or "supermaxx approved" product.

I'll back you up on the UE stuff, its the worst bug of them all to get bitten by.
I have not been in it long enough to have too many horror stories about hop-ups, I just keep upgrading the truck with parts that cause others to break so its not so much bad hop-ups as it is costly ones that keep sucking you in deeper and deeper and makes your wallet emptier and emptier.

Ok, I'll leave your spelling alone, but keep in mind, my 11 yr old son reads these boards. I'd appreciate a little respect in that aspect. Thanks... BTW, that wasn't the first objectional comment, or language you've used....
