supersonika

nice videos, should post them in main forums ...

shoota0075

great vid's guys ,i really like the brake return mod ,these videos will be a big help ,keep them coming.

amf66

I bought one spring at the hardware shop for the brake mod and it works great. Now I just have to go back and buy another one... I think the zip tie on the exhaust will solve my problem of it coming off and the Viper manifold looks good. I'll have to get one when I have the money.

jaimetwn

where can i get one of those viper manifolds. looks like the exhaust would flow better

ehroof

We have them: http://server.sohouniverse.net/~himo...&=SID#MOREINFO

jpilkinton

Great! Do they flow better than the ones that are on the MTR-2S and MXT-2S?
Gotta get me 2 of them.

ehroof

They are shorter and have less of a curve to them so they should give better low end power.

guy4x4

Well ill be flying in to L.A on the 26th then to Bakersfield will be going to harbor freight to get some of those springs, England don't have that many cheap shops great work guy's.

kuppler

Rich and i added a RC Engine Cleaning Video.. check it out in the 1st post.
Thanks

airoscar

nice video. i wonder if a normal engine degreaser (not for rc) that i can pick up from local stores for 5 bux would work the same

ehroof

nice work guys

You may want to try McMaster Carr for shims. They have 5x10 shims in thicknesses of .1, .2, .3 and .5mm in plain steel. Go to [link=http://www.mcmaster.com]http://www.mcmaster.com[/link] and search for "98055A09" and look in the middle of page 3200 in the catalog. You will see 98055A095, 96, 97 and 98. They are between $6 and $8 for 50 pieces! For the smaller shims, the best match is 0.206"ID (5.2mm) and 0.310"OD (7.9mm) in thicknesses of .003, .005, .007 and .01" (between .08mm and .25mm). For those, search for "93574A425". When you order, specify the thickness you want, and it will give you part numbers 93574A430, 32, 34 and 36 for the 4 different thicknesses. These come in 18-8 stainless and are about $8 for 25 pieces! Both of these are super cheap compared to the RC parts. And McMaster has warehouses all over the US, so your shipping is not bad, and delivery is super quick. Also, if you work at a manufacturing plant of any kind, they may have daily deliveries from McMaster at no cost that you can take advantage of.

Redharris

Bk.....Dude!......You are the MAN!

I have been searching all the online RC vendors trying to find ONE place to buy all the different sized shims.....(Save on the Shipping Costs, you Know?)
No Can Do! No single vendor has the variety I (WE) need.......
This is a Great Find.....Thanks BK!....CHEAP too!

P.S. It sort of annoys me that I have a McMaster Carr Catalog on my Desk at work, but never thought about looking for Shims there.....DOH!....My Bad.....

LOL.. i know rich.. i never though of that eather...
