Since everyone is talking about what they broke I will tell my story.

Stripped carb where the HSN goes in. Cost $99.99. O.S. .18 CV-RX.

Actually its only going to be 89.99 because I have an ad # for Tower.

Firesprink, was that you with the red Jato? Not sure if anyone else had one there.

Firesprink, I was watching you drive the Jato on the pavement. Man is that thing fast.

Those weren't stock tires though where they? They looked like dirt hawgs.

Didn't see any air filter flying when you crashed. I like how you polished the cooling head on the collari.

Was it blue, with like a push down kinda of thing to get the filter element out. Had like a black plastic cage with mesh type screening? If so, somebody found it and gave it to me, and I gave it to somebody else.

Its a very good idea to bend up a piece of wire to hold the filter in place. 1/8 buggies don't have problems with the filter comming off during silly jumping because the body holds it from moving around but trucks the filter bangs all over the place. I have a wire on both my landmax and truggy holding the filter steady.

Here is a pic of what I did on the landmax using a Hyper 7 filter tube. the truggy is much the same but its currently using a standa
