Status: online 		I kept this around as a conversation starter. The head looks perfect sitting there, when you pick it up though!



I had a servo glitching on me, before I figured out my problem, I got to watch a brand new Thunder Tiger Pro 70 EK-4 go racing across the high school parking lot, wide open into an 8" curb. It broke both front wheels, bent the belly pan a little and bent the front and rear dog bones. When it hit, I saw something round fly off, I assumed it was a tire and wheel, nope....



It hit hard enough to break the head casting just above the head bolts. I could not believe it!

They sure do a nice job of finishing the part of the head you normally would not see.

In the photo below, the left half is the bottom of the head that seals on the sleeve and the right half is the top of the head. This was not an easy part to find. I finally found the Nova heads and bought a couple of those, eventually I found a couple of MSJ heads and a replacement head. That was about 150 dollars to fix that crash. It was a brand new Futaba servo that did this damage, less than ten minutes of run time. What a way to break in a new 70!

Status: offline 		I have great news our track is actually open, (NO MORE SNOW!!) alot sooner than I thought.
My 2 tigers, ST-1 pro, and S3 performed flawlessly, was running aesome till I lost a lock nut on the rear turnbuckle of the st-1 easy fix though. My axial 28 rr runs really strong, and the TTR .21 goes pretty good too, only have 6 tanks on it though, still breaking it in. Too fast for the truggies though! There were a couple of hot bodies lightning pro truggs, a hellfire, and a revo there, and my tigers ate em up.
Secret, I slowed down some, and my lap times decreased conciderably. The steering mod works awesomely, if not too fast! The ace 1015 servo is incrediblly fast and super strong! gotta love these machines!!!
Can't wait to race now!

Status: online 		I took the P3 powered EB4 out today and burned up some rubber. Playing with monster trucks all the time makes one forget how insanely quick these buggies are. It was way more than my nephew's OS18 powered RC10GT2 wanted. BB

My ttr .21 motor is running pretty good too, it's not a rocket mind you, but it has really contollable power, which makes for my quickest lap times to date. I couldn't do those laps consistently with my p5x motor, and it was quite a bit stronger.

Status: online 		I am just a basher, so big four wheel drive drifts are cool, so are frisbies instead of tires. I have a new Orion (Picco) 26 that I have been thinking about putting on it. Then I can buy an ST-1 for my Picco, that almost sounds backwards. BB
