Status: offline 		Thanks MMDUC, i'll keep that in mind....

I finished the break-in today. Actually, it was quite a breeze to break this thing in. Not one problem starting it up, or keeping it running. I put a 6th tank thru it, while tuning it up a bit. The motor runs great. It doesnt show HUGE power though. But i also believe the truck may be geared for high speeds more than anything.

It is a header and pipe combo and you can see you need to dremel away some of the frame to fit the header. Then I used a losi aftershock exhaust mount at the front of the muffler.

Matt, I can let you try my AE FT pipe from my MGT too if ya want to see if you like it.

Status: offline 		I know Matt he likes the 1 piece pipes...hence his question.

I figured the SuperTiger's problem was its power. People over leaning the engine expecting more. Remember pipes have a ton to do with tuning and power. And of course so does porting. Maybe Duratax wanted a mild engine for beginners so SuperTiger decided to do a more calm port set up.

Status: offline 		So does anyone have an idea on top speed of the stock RT-X? I've looking everywhere and no one has much to say yet. I guess maybe it's too soon. It looks like a great basher, and I'm seriously considering dropping the $$$

Status: offline 		Everything is going good soo far with the RT-X. Its track test will be this Sunday. Today i decided to throw on an aluminum clutch setup, and some heavier clutch springs. It got a little too late for me to test it in the driveway, so i'll test it tomorrow. I also checked those spur gear screws while the motor was out. Good thing i did. They were not all that snug. Im hoping the new clutch setup gives the truck a little more snap to its bottom end. Just enough to have fun on the track Sunday really. If the truck handles well, and steers well, its getting a new motor. Messing around with it in the drive way, i really like how hard this thing can be pushed in corners. Should be very interesting test day Sunday. The brakes are also VERY smooth. As for top speed, its pretty good. In fact i think they've got it geared for too much top end really. Especially for the track i run on. lol.

Josh, you may want to go with snautrockets idea for a basher. Though i have no idea really how tough this truck is, i would be concerned about the bulkhead to chassis connection. Its not keyed together, and only uses 3 screws at each side of the chassis plates, front and rear. That is honestly the only area im nervous about on this truck. I mean 6 screws would be fine, if it where keyed better, but its not. Like i said previously though, i really dont know squat about the durability of this thing. I bought it for the racing concept behind it.

The points series starts tomorrow, and its a new layout. If you wanna go check it out, today or tomorrow would be a good time to do it. They are having a big electric race today too.
