    Status: offline     		hey dan where do you race at? are you near joilet at all? my trak does do 1/10 stadium truck when we have enough people. usually every sunday we have indoor stadium truck racing.

    in response to you xxx-al it looks like you did not have somthing lined up right or you did not use enough grease. it looks like it got overheated and melted and shredded itself.

    also has anyone ever heard of an engine company calld OPS? i just bought a fixer upper that had an ops .12 and ive never heard of it before. know where i can get manuals or replacement parts?

I havn't been there since the outdoor track opened though. School gets out for me next week and I can't wait to go racing.

    I've never seen that happen to that diff gear before... You might have the diff to tight... but I am not sure. Take a good look at your diff case and see if anything fell out inside of it to cause that... Maybe a pin or something.... There had to be some sort of miss alignment... Unless you are driving with a .21 engine in that thing lol

    Status: offline     		That grear stripping like that is usually from a throttle on jump or a rear tire collision under power with something that stops the rotation of the tire The way its cleaned off all the way around says it was meshed right

    Status: offline     		you can get the Losi rims as they have the adapters for the xxx-nt. I am pretty sure they come with foams but stay away from proline I've been told. And I use Losi tire glue to glue them. thin or regular. But DON'T tighten the top half too tight, mine is stuck and I have to use a toothpick to get the glue down.

    Status: offline     		1st can I see the link on ebay. And what I do is put a small drop of CA glue then quickly put the alan wrench in t and put a little ,ore CA glue around it. Let it dry for a while then it SHOULD come out if you try to loosen it.
