why you cut a hole into the rcbox ?

the wires have to be between the 2 rubberseals from the rcbox
thats the only way to keep the box "waterproof"

I would have to cut either way..I was going to add some black silicone and finish the hole up. It looked really good though and to charge is very easy.. That was my whole point of having the cable come out of the battery box. You can also see the wires are all hidden underneath the servo tray.

After a day of hard running and big jumps, one of the front bulkheads/suspension mounts decided it was time to bail.

The funny part is that I didn't even notice untill I got home and was cleaning!

Yup.

8 Months, and the only breakages have been one rear wing, and now this. To be honest, both happened while driving hard in quite cold weather, so that likely had some effect.

Regardless, 2 broken parts in 8 months still makes this one of the toughest, most reliable vehicles I've owned.

MCD............I love it!

I've had mine for about seven months and the only things I've managed to break is one of my wing holders, and I just noticed a break on my right chasis mud gaurd where the screws are attatched.... MCDs are so well built, when things break, you don't know it until you are cleaning them.... OOOPs, broke my Jetpro too but that has nothing to do with MCD...

Hey Bribeguy, what is that u are running for an airfilter?


It's the stock air filter from a Duratrax Firehammer. For the money, it's the best thing out there IMO. Dual stage foam filter with a metal shell. Price? A wallet shattering $16.99!!!

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHTX0&P=

I run my car in EVERYTHING, and as you can see from some of the pics above, it gets VERY dirty. Air filter is almost always spotless everytime I check!

Status: offline 		Hey Bribeguy.. you mentioned the firehammer Filter, that is a dual stage foam and so on..I have a firehammer filer set up but I seem to have lost the proper mounting piece so I run with the Stock MCD one for now. Do you not think the MCD filter is plenty good? Just curious more than anything. Its a dual stage, and you could oil one of them, also has 2 screens. And not just that, but the intake is set DOWN inside the truck unlike other models where the filter hangs out the back. I wasnt to concerned about rushing out and changing to a different filter as I thought the Stock one would be fine, but now that I dont believe I have seen a picture with the stock one still in , I am rethinking things..lol...

Oh im also running the MT, so I have the Lexan side guards...Anyhow, I was just curious what you boys thought about the stock MCD filter.
