well was able to get a bit of run time on the truck :) got about 3 tanks in before i realized i lost a grub screw and was running in RWD, so dont really know exactly when it happened, and somewhere around the end of the 3rd tank one of my front wheels outer bead came unglued so going to need to...
realized haven't really posted any updates on this truck, havent had a whole lot of time to run it and it doesn't break often when i do so might add to that. did run it monday though, let a friend run it, (he is pretty new to RC, so driving skills are a little lacking, tagged a car tire at about...
was able to run it yesterday! so much happier with the performance after i took off the 19T and went to 17T clutchbell! got it tuned in about perfect how i like it. sad to say though i dont know how much life is left on these tires, beads are definitely cracking and breaking down. gonna see how...
Yeah I do. Think I'm having an air leak in the tank though. Need to get rid of the primer or just get a new one. Haven't had funds to dig into that one yet.
definitely does!
can't wait to see how this thing runs with a 17t clutchbell!
the shoes were definitely a bit worn in there, but i cleaned them up and reshaped them a bit. how it was shimmed before, the clutchbell was pushed too far out, so it wasn't even touching the inner side of the shoes. so...
gonna find some OFNA shoes then in the near future! thanks!
just wanted to make sure i get a tried and true set vs a experimental and have wasted to much money lol
thanks for the clarification!
do have a question, wanting to test out some new clutch shoes eventually, i have a set of HPI ones from the savage, and the ones in it are as well i believe, which dont get me wrong have worked well. wanting to try out some aluminum ones. i am planning on running 2 Alu. 1 Composite, as from what...
Spur gear, and pro-line powerstrock shock mounting hardware. Have actual clearance now for the shock caps from the shock tower! About 1/8-3/16" longer! And actually have threads beyond the shock mount nut.
Shocks cycle much better now.
Got the clutchbell installed, just need to set the mesh...
it is the 54T RRP Spur, did RRP make a 52 Spur for these?
dont have a stock spur setup on either of my MGT's, kind of want to swap back to plastic, but at the same time dont really have any need. both of my spurs are very straight. no out of round or tweaking that i can tell. one of the main...
surprisingly it doesn't have bad acceleration with the 19T, CB on it, but just so hard on the clutch. almost stupid fast top speed for where i run though so not much of a point. gonna test that 17t and see if thats what i want on it, if its to slow might just order an 18T
might have to try something like that!
another option i was thinking was getting another set of the integy tires and throw them on this truck, shed some tire/wheel weight and size.
these mashers are some great tires though...
one of these days want to get the stock flag MGT body and stock...
was able to run the truck last night, did pretty well, think I'm going to have to install that 17t Clutchbell i initially ordered for the .21 on this thing, think its a bit over-geared with a 19T, clutch is getting pretty warm. might need to clean up the shoes as well. have an extra set of HPI...
ended up ordering some Rival wheel hubs, where on sale for 4$ from associated, gonna see if i can make them work on this truck or maybe the .21, this one already does have the 23mm Pro-line ones. way more options for the 17mm than the 23mm and the 14mm.
there is a large bin of wheels in the...
Oh wow that's a lot heavier duty! I want to get some of those, If I can find them, I just got the center rear for now as a b-day present.
Did find a different company that makes the drive CVS for the truck which I am curious about. Probably going to figure out sooner than later as one front on...
CV axle rebuilds came in today! Didn't realize they were sold in packs of 4, pretty awesome imo! Fit perfectly! Its kind of cool, how it is made the cup captures the set screw, hopefully that means if for some reason it does come loose it will be saved.
Need to find my bigger shrink wrap to...
sometimes for some reason just have a mental block with tuning, just doesn't seem to go right no matter what, then the next day you are scratching your head wondering why you couldnt do it the day before.
shop got some 20% in today which is awesome! got an A5 glow plug to throw into my LST so...
