My first modded motor... - 09-05-2005, 04:58 PM

Well, I've got a new OS .18TZ coming for the MT Nats in Dallas and am going to be sending it to TNT Mods http://www.tntmods.com/ if they can get it done in time for me to break it in. I like their philosophy. We'll see how it all shakes out.

Anyone else have any experience with modded motors?

Yeah, they're plenty fast. But I like the fuel economy aspect also. It's $80+shipping.

he can mod it up as much as he wants and get all the gas mileage he can but you still cant beat me lol jk. Im pretty much done getting the big engine or the popular one. Im just gonna be running either a stock tm or a 2.5r with a different carb on it. Remember slower is faster and i definatly need to slow down some. Make sure to take some pics of the inside of that engine when you get it back also.

Mich, you might want to watch those kind of comments they can come back to haunt you. It may have been true before but I've been practicing a LOT more than you this summer. I've not seen you out racing but once this summer. Let's see how things go this winter

once leisure opens up il be there untill they kick me out. Im not much for winning a race but more of having a good race between people. When were both side to side and battling out the whole race for first is a better race to me then somebody just have the lead the entire race. Im looking forward to this winter thats for sure.

Don't you know you can say anythin gto anyone as long as you put "JK" at the end. It's just like making sure you smile when you tell some to "**** off ".

You can always say, "I was only keeeeding."

So lighten up Frances. jk

dave the thing with this group of people is that were always messing around with each other like that so we dont need to put jk at the end. We always know the other person is messing around and nobody really takes anything personal. so damn dave lighten up already and get your truck ready for leisure to open so i can have another victim to beat.

Oh I am ready....to be a victim that is !! NOT KIDDING. It should be fun to ram into you guys as you take it sooooo seriously. We're into demolition derby !!! jk.

Seriously, if I can be serious for a minute, we WILL be out this winter to run. The fall has gotten so busy with kids getting back to school and the house under construction. I look forward to some calm and relaxing RC TRUCK RACING !!!!!!!!!!!!! Revo's gonna need a little tweak here and there but nothing major like some recent take-a-new-Revo-and-change -everything-on-it-and-paint-it-black-and-red-and stick-a-big-old-wing-on-it-and-put-a-os18tm-motor guys! Not naming names..... If I can't have fun running the basic truck with some minor improvements, I am taking the fun out of it. I look forward to (someday) getting out of the garage and onto the tracks with y'all.

BTW, I was born and raised in Da Hts. Used to live near Marian HS (where I went, Go Spartans).

My parents, a brother & sister, and my in-laws all still live in that area. It's a nice place to visit, but....I'd rather live in Naperville.

The area by Marian and the Country club is still nice or at least is was when I was last down there.
