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. :lol:

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.

yup that was me!! :racing:

I may have trashed my Collari .30....lost the air filter on the last crash....carb is full of leaves and debris. $325.00

that sucks!! did you take it apart and check the piston?

I thought the collari.30 was like $205 new???

Either way that sucks so bad....Hope it still works, that thing ripped.

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.

they are pro-line. i cant remember what ones. its one of there new tires. they are great!! i have never had a tire last so long on pavement.

I think those were proline gladiators on the Jato..

they are wicked all round tires.


I didn't break anyhitng that was a day ender but I did spend most of my time getting my sturr all ready to run since I didn't have tome to wrench on them much before the bash.

that them!!
good call six. there is no way i would have remebered what tire anyone was running.

Damage fixed. It cost me $11 all together. That got me a new wing mount set ans some longer hex bolts with nuts. Good as new.

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.

lol .. you owe him an air filter

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 standard filter elbow.

anyone have any ideas how to rig something like that up on my SM?



I was thinking of having another wire where the pipe hanger wire is secured to the chassis

Bend some rod and screw it in under one of the tranny screws...

RobH Wrote:I was thinking of having another wire where the pipe hanger wire is secured to the chassis

I did just that on my old SM and for a while I had the filter turned to the opposite side of the engine with a wire comming off the shock tower. either will work fine just as long it keeps the filter from moving around a lot on the hard landings.

Yeah, they came down alot. You can get the .32 for around $240

Either way, if its junk it's expensive.
