Well I just put in the little spacer Roy at RD Racing gave me. I took my truck to the park for a test run. No noticable increased engine vibration. (During assembly lost one of those damned little spring things that hold in the wristpin though!! Poinggggg.....)

I did, however, break one of his "indestructible" 8mm Revo stub axles in about 3-4 mins. I called him immediately. He's getting me more by Sat. but couldn't believe it broke. I couldn't either. I was just running on the grass with some 9" high bumps. With the 17t/36t gearing and a standard ratio tranny this thing is beyond insanely fast, but I was probably only doing about 46-47mph when I got a bad hop off a jump and the left rear tire flew off. It's always the rear stub axles that break. I'm hoping it's just a fluke.

I was doing 12' high backflips off the big jump in Dallas with Roy and Craig and I didn't break a stock stub. Those guys already had the 8mms installed and didn't break one either. Wierd.

I've got mine sitting here on my desk . Waiting for a few more things to come in the mail so I can get the truck ready for sunday's race.

both you better get your stuff ready. Better be in 100% working condition if your gonna be racing me lol. Just messin around. I hope you just got a bad part or just one of the unlucky unexplained breakages.

Yeah, ya wouldnt want to wait till the last minute or anything :bustingup

The way it's looking right now, I might have to hit up the hobby shop on saturday. I ordered stuff from tower last week thursday night. Still no parts .

Call them and bitch!!!! There on in champaine!!!! You could have walked there and back in that amount of time!

well thought i would provide an update with this spacer with some pics. Pictures are copyrighted at http://www.greevoownsyou.com so permission is needed to use them else where






Still looks as good as the day i took the engine out of the box. Compression is really tight and everything looks brand new internally. The spacer works.

nice work! I'm glad he made a fix for those engines!

Looks good! Im glad your engine is holding up!
