Default New upgrade! For the xpress
Made a lil upgrade on the xpress this week. Should help on gas bc i can cruise at a lower speed now w/o porpoiseing. Didnt do anything for top speed. Still only hitting 50mph. May look into a prop next. Id really like to tryn see 60mph with a light load.

P. S. Thanks to 1fastmerc for a good deal on the jakplate!
