Status: offline 		I like the roll cage. A+
I would get rid of the air filter. It won't stop fine dirt from getting in the engine. Put on a good 2 stage filter or do what some other guys have done and put in a foam filter in the center of that one with oil on the foam. Get the duratrax fuel tank DTXC7812. It doesn't spill fuel all over. I found that the rubber tube on the exhaust robs power from the engine. One day I was tuning the engine on the road and I found it was bogging down and not really opening up at full throttle but all of a sudden the rubber tube blew off and the truck took off. I ordered the DDM exhaust and it made a big difference on performance for the engine.

Status: offline 		hello

in reply there to your last post there man (which i just spotted) with the link from hobbythek,yes i think they will work man,in fact i think any set for the front be it fg/carson will fit no bother,you might want to e-mail wolfgang lendrich there in hobbythek and ask first though just to confirm fitament.

i always use hobbythek and find them excellent in both shipping times and prices and most important supply/stock......

it takes three days after placing an order for me to get my parts man,now thats good!!

they are a german based company as you know so you see they are going to have all the parts for our machines in abundance as fg/and carson factorys are just down the road from them hahah lol

man thats nice work there on the side guards,very nice man,nicely painted too......they add a nice finish dont they!
