    Status: offline     		all did not go well....

    i was 3-4 laps up on everyone going into the last 10 min of the 30min A-main in the Stock/Mod Monster class....when my tranny loosened up causing just enough play to allow me to strip my spur gear ...ending my race..but what was funny..at 7min they announced the leader board..and after 3 minutes of pullin off the track..i was still in the lead lol..this TNX is so stupid fast

    hte next race was the buggy B..which was 15min long..so i had to rush to fix the TNX...and upon the rush..i forgot to replace the old wornout slipper pads..which would come back to haunt me

    in Outlaw Monster..i was TQ..and never even started ...the slipper pads couldnt grip the spur....so i pulled it in...but..my pace in stock/mod was still 3 laps ahead of hte outlaw winner...

    i had a bad day...cause later in the buggy Amain..my buggy ran outta fuel..on the way to the pit!!!....it was frustrating to say the least

    Status: offline     		it is very close to the stock....they use the same p/s..OS says they made some slight tweeks to make it faster..but i like it mainly for the pullstart

    btw...the .18 CVR is the most powerful .18 on the market right now...so its no slouch by anymeans..just goes to show how good of an engine the TNX comes with

    also..if i were you..i would wait a lil while and get hte new OS .18 TZ...its rated by OS at 1.8..which prolly means it puts out over 2hp!!...its gunna be insane
