Hey....

Hows the acceleration?

Oh and track tmo with 'em?

tmo?

and the acceleration is great, prolly b/c the shoes are new but its still great.

tmo-tomorrow

wow i totally didnt know that one, tom would have been MUCH better

yup lol. Only if you pick me up lol. My dad will only bring me, kevins dad usually picks us up cause my parents goto work early and wont pick us up.
Anyone know what size glowplugs these use? Link to em?
OFNA Racing

all plugs are the same size

So just the stock one or are theyre specific brands that r good?

u think it really matters much lol as long as its not turbo im sure it will run fine. If ur gonna go out and buy some id get a hotter plug

Ya i was wondering like hot or cold, so hots better.

ya for an engine with a small case volume a hotter plug will normally run better

Got mine in the mail today! I'm gonna break it in this weekend.

Me too! I put in the steering tophat thingys I was talking about and the steering is a bit tighter now, along with my 18t turnbuckles. Haven't started it yet, probably gonna refill the shocks before I run it, it's waay to springy. Oh and I trimmed some of the knife edged points on the body so they don't cut me or anyone for that matter.

How many tanks do u guys think is good for break-in? We used 4 with one for idling, then one for slowly driving, then the next 2 for tuning. Idk, the piston and sleeve looks good and the powers good so idk. And matt i dont think the steering has too much play, maybe its just me. Today were putting his spektrum in there, the stock controlller blows.

yeah I use my m11 with the spektrum lol, I just idle one tank with mine I do not see the slop in the steering eighter? I think my center diff went out alreayd like 5 tanks into it lol

Slop meaning try and turn both wheels out or in at the same time. More like flex than slop.

hmmm...any rear brake kits out there for these? anyone else's idle high also? this thing took a hell of a beating on the track today though

No rear brake. Do yourself a favor and lock the center diff, or put something super thick in there aka silly putty etc.

You -can- lower the idle with the idle screw lol

Your linkage is probably f'd up, I know mine has taken a good amount of adjusting to get working properly.
Take that fuel tubing peice off the linkage and put a spring in there of equal length.

man poncho just imagine if u put all this effort into actually racing

Idk about the rear brake kit, and no our idle wasant high at all. Would locking the center diff really hwlp the braking since these things have plastic diff gears? And we ordered some extra stuff, aluminum shock towers, aluminum threaded shocks, 16t clutchbell, extra pullstart w/ one way bearing, extra clutch bearings, extra clutch shoes w/ spring, and a screw kit. Gonna look sweet and hopefully run better too.

sry u guys posted while i was typing

I don't get why it would matter if the gears were plastic or metal- if you lock it, then you will have 4 wheel braking so you stop faster and still can't steer lol.


What's the stock CB tooth count?

Here's mine after 3 tanks.

just breezed over my comment eh? lol

ponch what wheels are them? I know mine is a PITA to start lol...I have jacked with the idle screw bu like the carb wont shut all the way? I dont know I found out the reverse servo for the traxxas revo and stuff are the same size as these and are suppose to have more torq...

also ponch whats with your fuel tubing? why no tube for back psi for the fuel?
