RC Solutions MGT Roll Cage

January 17, 2005 in Reviews | no comments

Features

  • 3mm aluminum plates.
  • Machined aluminum braces.
  • Includes required hardware.

Testing
The instructions get you rolling pretty quickly and should cause no real trouble for the inexperienced. The two longer braces stretch the entire length of the chassis and protect the engine head from damage. Two other braces complete the look going across the center of the chassis. The kit also includes aluminum chassis plates that replace the stock plastic ones. The kit makes it look like you just changed the entire chassis, a nice trick for your friends.

Venom Mini Giant review

Venom Mini Giant

What’s In the box.

-The Mini giant was well packaged and include instructions on how to operate the thing (the ones people usually toss right before they stick the batteries in). I was also surprised to see a wheel nut wrench, a tube of lube for the gear box, and two spare wheel nuts.
-Mini Giant and controller
-Tube of gear lube
-3 pinions
-Wheel nut wrench
-Slipper gear lock out
-Two spare wheel nuts
-Instructions, exploded parts view, misc paper work

First impression
Right out of the box I was pretty surprised it looked high quality and pretty durable. I popped some alkalines in and was kind of dissapointed by the performance although it wheelied and had some pretty good take off I expected more. I tossed in some Nicads I had laying around and it really woke up definetaly a fun little toy now. (Nihms added later in review)

RC Solutions XXX-NT Front Steel Skid

December 10, 2004 in Chassis, RC Solutions, Reviews | no comments

RC Solutions XXX-NT Front Steel Skid

When I first received the skid from Scott at RC Solutions, I was very impressed with it. I really liked the design, both for functionality as well as looks. Installation was a breeze and only took a few minutes.

Tools required:
Driver, whatever type you need for the type screws in your truck. Mine uses stainless steel hex head screws.

Installation:
Installation was quite simple. All that is required is a driver to remove the 4 screws that hold the stock plastic skid to the truck, and the first two in the end of the chassis. Remove these 6 screws, and remove the stock skid. Then simply place the RC Solutions skid over the chassis and replace the 6 screws. That’s it, you’re done.

Results:
After a good bash session at Boggy Creek Raceway, the skid did it’s job! It held up great to a good thrashing. I am very pleased with the skids performance and appearance, and would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of adding some protection to their XXX-NT. My only complaint is that they don’t make a rear skid yet.

Tempgun.com PE-1

October 20, 2004 in Reviews | Comments Off

What’s up for Review: PE-1 Temp gauge from TEMPGUN.COM

How Much for this Product: The PE-1 is priced at $25.00 USD

Range of gun: The gun has a rang of (-27°F to 428°F) and when switched to Celsius (-33°C to 220°C)

The PE-1 only weights 36 grams and fits in the palm of your hand so when you’re running after a flipped over R/C you won’t be bothered by it. Then gun comes stock with a wrist wrap, which comes in handy when tuning your R/C’s. Are you worried that you will have to replace the battery soon? Well the battery that is included with your purchase will last for 40 hours of continuous use, now that’s a lot!

It also has features like Min, Max and Lock good to use to track the highest and lowest temperature’s of your R/C and there is an optional aluminum case that you can purchase for your gun. The PE-1 is the cheaper route but yet is the smarter route. The range you need for your R/C temps is perfect! The size of the PE-1 not only is comfortable in your hand and pocket but it also fits the best in your cooling head with its narrow design so you can get as close to the glow plug as you can for accurate readings. This gun is affordable and easy to use and it is one of the best guns that TempGun.com provides for R/C usages.

RC Solutions Nitro Rustler Roll Cage

October 13, 2004 in Chassis, RC Solutions, Reviews | Comments Off

Introduction:

When you purchase your Nitro Rustler roll cage you will need these things handy. Some Hex Drivers or Allen Wrenches, Loctite, and a little patience to read through all of the directions supplied with your purchase to assemble your roll cage. The supplied directions are in full color, great detail and will seem like installing the cage a breeze. If you choose not to use Loctite the screws will rattle loose and fall out. I experienced this myself.
