Kodiac400

Uhoo_01................what is that engine? Looks some sharp.

eminentguitar

uhoo I hope your going to put the same wheels and tires all around on that tsunami or your going to run into some diff issues if its 4 wheel drive that is. Sweet mods man I like it. My tsunami (cvr-x) is faster then my friends revo (18tm) I cant imagine what that thing is going to be like WHERE ARE THE VIDS???? lol hurry please lol. Great mods man I like it but I do see something missing lol a zip tie on your header lol

uhoo_01

geeesss ezzz up on the zip tie hahahaha its only 90% done still waiting for parts . and the wheels are 2.8 front 2.2 back but because of the profile diffrance they are just about the same DIA so im sweet .

Kodiac400: its a axial .28 spec 1s , i nearlly got the RR but i had other stuff to spend the extra $30 on .

Megabash: man you so should bang on the sh.28 i cant belive how eazy the bb fitted in , you basicly just need new engine mounts and the way i did it , i still use the same slots in the stock chassi plate so you still have ajustment in and out .

eminentguitar

another thing you might be able to use is the ofna adjustable mounts check them out http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCAB1&P=7 they work great

uhoo_01

yes i looked at getting thos mounts off ebay but i opted to make them .then next mod that is in the works is a custom top plate where the tank sits in and front mounts to . making it out of carbon fiber and it will house a brand new HYPER ST truggy fuel tank . il try and start that this weekend.

eminentguitar

Iv been thinking of getting some carbom fiber where do you get it from?

uhoo_01

well i got a ACE up my sleeve . my dad builds race cars in his spare time and makes all the fenders, doors , hoods , every pannel out of carbonfiber and he allways has flat bits dif thickness's already finished laying around i can use . so il just trace out what i need and cut it out .hehehehehehehehe :P

eminentguitar

holy crap man what kind of cars does he make? Wanna sell some? Ill buy it if you put it on ebay man

uhoo_01

hahahahha nah no sale . our own car is a SPORTS SADAN track car, my bro race's and its a s2 mazda rx7 full space frame with every pannel CF , mid mounted SR20 nissan 2L NA .
weighs 700 kg with driver and the NA SR20 is pumping out close to 300HP at the crank . we race and tracks like phillip Island , the same track moto GP and the world super bikes race at .

eminentguitar

that sucks man lol yeah man my brother in law put a black top nissan sr20 in his car its turbo charged tho its a sweet car man

uhoo_01

hey eminentguitar if you did at a later stage go bb what engine you think you would pick......?????

eminentguitar

well I can get a picco 28 with over 3 hp for 175 dollars from my friend so I think thats going to be the one

uhoo_01

geeees you fo real hahaha Now that will kill ya car in every way hahahahahhaha

eminentguitar

he bought it for his revo but doesnt want to put it in lol. Do you know what the axial you have has for power?

uhoo_01

hp dunno really , cos if ya look on the nitro engine forum on this all you read is people b!tching about each other saying Oh this engine is the best , Oh no this engine is the best lol so i dunno id say around 2hp or just under on a dyno , because the hp the factory give is Bu!!*****...

eminentguitar

well man some guys did a dyno on the tz 18 and it hit 2.28 hp but os said that its got 1.8 hp so who knows. all I know is if you check this out youll get an idea of how much power my mt2 has with the tz in it the mt2 is just about the same as the tsunami just made by hpi here is a vid of a tz in a revo http://youtube.com/watch?v=bW-NhALUkxc

uhoo_01

ahhhhhh ok guys got some news on the BB
good and bad lol , the good news is got it running today ended up putting the pullstart back on cos i really wanted to run it . the pullstart fits with a lil filing of the plastic around the engine . and OH MY GOD the power it has at just 1/4 throttle WHOA , any thing other than road like pavers or tiles and it just wheel spins and spins out like a 2wd st and on road it goes to pick the wheels up . its so much louder than i thought it would be anyways the bad news is after only a tank and a half of run in , i have buzzed the main gear away and broken a front drive shalft . the main gear was my fault because i sort of didnt get the right mesh i would have liked but ay it was my first go im still learning so round two will be much better with a few lil mods and maybe just maybe il finish running in the engine hahahhahahahahahahaha lol but this thing is a animal

Megabash

I knew it, I knew it...gotta say I TOLD YOU SO!!! ROFL LMAO that is so cool Uhoo that your truck has so much power on tap that you blow parts apart! OMG man yer nuts!! By the way, does the spur gear look something like this (see pic below) In addition I have included some pics for your amusement on proper pinion/spur gear mesh!!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

eminentguitar

uhoo just buy the drive shafts for the mt2 18ss and all the cups for the inputs on the diffs and the outputs on the transmission. The rear dog bone is a direct drop in but you have to shorten the front one for that check out the posts I made on this page its a very strong and easy setup but do not use the solder weld them with a mig I have done both and the solder eventually lets go but I have never had a problem with the welder. The mt2 drive cups and dog bones are way stronger then the redcat ones its a really nice upgrade.

uhoo_01

Thanks mega your a REAL! help hahahahahahah lol give me a week to fix it all and il come back twice as strong just orderd 2 more main gears there go's 40 bucks hahahahahha and about thos mt2 dogbones and cups il look in to it , i might just put the ol'Cheapos in for now becauce i already know that drive shaft was bent and weak already .

eminentguitar

uhoo I have gone through 8 drive cups and busted 4 dogbones already that was with about3 or 4 galons of fuel since I put the mt2 parts in 3 galons of fuel later and there still like brand new the only problems I am having are my side gears and spider gears getting stripped its totally worth it man

eminentguitar

And another thing is the price of the parts really is not alot more gor what you get.

eminentguitar

just a bit off topic lol check out what I did to my tires today on my mt2 with the os 18 tz this only took my one tank of fuel lol


before and after and a video too (the tz is almost a big block these parts are strong man) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o95ke6-VzJM
