Status: offline 		well i just bought the 2nd of the 3 rpm parts. All i need now is the front rpm arms. I let my mom drive my truck in a parking lot and she checked the curb (pics included) LOL. Thats what made me buy the rear arms.

Also do you think it is time to replace my chassis?

Also i think my exaust seal is leaking thats why there will be a lot of oily stuff in the pics...

so would a bad one way bearing make that oil spary everywhere? The backplate and the ps system seem to be on tight...

well i just took of the engine and cleaned it and give it the one over. I think i found the problem but i do not want to admit it. Makes me look like a big noob... but anyways here it is I lost/forgot one of the head screws when i took off the head a couple of tanks ago... whoops.

LMAO. Your truck looks rough. maybe should clean it a little more also?

Anyways i took off my engine and tranny and cleaned everythign up. Also when i took my exaust header (which is not stock) the rubber peace that was acting like a seal is almost worn to nothing. Think that might have been why all the oil was every where.

Status: offline 		That video sounds sweet. I like how he says,"sound pretty good" @ the end. all motors sound quick when ther is no load on them. (wheels) He needs to show side-by-side comparison of stock vs. built. although Im sure his work kiks az. the contoured cranks alone prolly give the most bang for buck. notice the "knife-edge" on his cranks, compared to stock. the smoother edges"cut" through the fuel mixture in the case. the blunt edges on the stocker creates turbulence in the fuel mixture. if the fuel mixture stays consistance, more dependable power is easier to obtain. wish I had a old motor to send him. my 3.3 is still in its first gallon. gave my old 2.5 to osuwins.

Status: offline 		E-bay is the best for just about any parts, Recently there has been a guy on there listing entire Jato 3.3's piece by piece. he combines shipping and the prices are great!!! I have gotten about $150 worth of parts for $48 and that has fixed my last three crashes.... But these are only OEM parts, E-bay also has after market parts but their prices are closer tot he hobby shop.
