Default RE: "OFFICIAL" Tsunami thread

Thanks for the suggestion but the single speed is not all that I am looking for. Right now I have just tightened the shift screw down so it wont shift - the track is too short to shift and you lose too much punch. If you have done this did it added any punch coming out of the corners by allowing higher rpms? This truck is great but rather doggie until it gets moving. I am running about 1/8 turn back from lean so I still have plenty of smoke and the temps not that hot (spit tested). I did cut out the front window for ventilation and it made a big difference.

I know that this truck is a good copy of the HPI MT of few years ago all the way down to the limited carb (check the opening of your carb in full open at it is only open about 90% quick fix for added boost). From what I tell several of the past from the HPI should be a direct fit and a higher quality. I have never seen plastic bend like this stuff does - its good and bad. Have you had any luck using HPI parts for repairs?
