Status: offline 		RCUSEE that looks sweet. I love the way you made the venting air holes. Did you use a template? You get that Tsais rear exhaust? If you did please let me know which one if it mounts well.

Hey suns going to be out up Berlin way soon, better get it together and make some vidios soon............LOL

Keep going its looking good my friend

Status: offline 		i used my new body reamer for that, and thx

no its not a rear exhaust... its a normal side one and i have it laying around here since 3weeks... with the right parts you can also mount it to the back but the weightbalance wouldnt be all that or you might have to change the humpposition... because the 18tz would drive the car crazy thats why i will order 16, 18, 20 clutchgears to test which one works best


edit:

jup the weather down here is superb and im thinking about taking my g4 out by tomorrow... i just need to build me a new receiverhump and cant find my tools for it

Status: offline 		Just be careful not to run your slipper to tight, it will rip up the gear box and if you have some time on the gear box be sure and tighten up the rear end bearings. The box is plenty strong it just can't handle the catching on the ground at full throttle............but almost all of the models are like that. I'll tell you what I'm not an electric type of guy but the new RAGE is a blast.............I've been beating up one of those fast little buggers 2 or 3 times a day for over a weak and nothing wrong with it yet...........Its great for small areas and a hell of a 4x4................good luck, I'm out waiting on the side to see you X-c monster running

Status: offline 		yea, at the start of rc i didnt even know how to setup a slippergear(i didnt even know what its good for ) but im pretty trained at that now... and i will also buy a aluminium diffgear, because the stock one is pretty weak, so far i ripped one because i had the slippergear setted up way too tight

Status: offline 		Thanks for the comment on the paint, I was thinking of buying another body, paint it and then sell it.

Have not bought those alum hubs yet, factory ones still on there plus I bought a set and then won a set on ebay(came with drive shafts i needed) This truck does go thru drive shafts, they are so weak, they give before the hub does

Status: offline 		they break because of the plastic hubs.................they bind like hell under torque and that puts a lot of wear on the CVD's ............I have one with the same CVD's and well over 10 gallons of fuel and every fool under the sun driving it............so I'll gaurentee the Aluminum hubs help at least a little
