RE: TNX Modification Thread
Can someone give me a link to a pullstart or a shaft start system (or both) that will work for the os engine. Also, How would a shaft start work? Looks like you'd have to do some pretty intricate weaving through the bumper and stuff to get to the backplate... Thanks

The GPM parts that I have are made out of T-6061 aluminum alloy which is an aircraft grade and its the same alloy that just about everyone else uses. I really don't care if anyone else buys any GPM stuff or not and for the life of me can't understand why you keep knocking their stuff when you don't have any!!

As far as Wizen goes, he didn't even know what plug to use on the TNX on the Terra Crusher central forum so follow his advice at your own discretion. Follow this link:

RE: TNX Modification Thread
So your beef is with what it looks like? The parts YOU bought had a dull finish so they were "junk"? The parts for the TNX that I have are polished but more importantly to me they are strong and don't break. The more you comment, the less you apparently know what your talking about!

You seem to be missing the point. If you don't want to deal with GPM then don't. I and 2 of my friends have BOUGHT GPM stuff for our TNX's and haven't had any problems with them. You can read on "all these other forums" all you want to but all I know is I like their products.

you also are missing my point, i said OTHER PEOPLE SAID THEY DONT,(NOT ME) like the quality of the company,so thats why i dont bother with the comapny. just because its made out of T-6061 aluminum alloy, doesnt mean its good quality. so what about if wizen didnt know what plug to use. whats that have todo with quality of parts!!!!!. i was simply making a statement about that other people had said.

RE: TNX Modification Thread
If you don't want to deal with GPM then don't.
and i think u didnt read my post correctly...i was talking about those shafts...i never heard nething good or bad about the rest of their products.
chill out, i dont want to degrade it...i went to rcx site, and it might be me...but the prices are pretty high...the skidplate alone is 20 bux, and on another site, i can get a bumper and skidplate from racers edge for 10 bux...maybe racers edge sux...never heard nething bad about it.
@ Raz
i was only trying to say that the shafts suck. the other products might be very very good. i only tryed to contribute to this forum [sm=disappointed.gif]
Peace Tim

RE: TNX Modification Thread
I will soon have a 645mg Hitec servo. I got the one that has a "J" connector. This means the servo will connect into the receiver with a futaba plug. (I also will have a futaba receiver and all my radio gear will be futaba besides the servos)
I was wondering if this servo will also be able to use the stock servo horn that is meant for the futaba servos. If not, can I buy a servo horn adapter or something? Thanks.
P.S. This message is mostly for Tim as I know for sure he has one of these servos on his TNX.
Thanks, ScMc.

RE: TNX Modification Thread
Tim-
No problem, I use the stock shafts on my TNX and haven't had any experience with the GPM shafts but your experience with them is good to know. I just will never understand why some people on this forum comment about products they know nothing about or haven't had first hand experience with. Like I said, I have had great luck with GPM parts and have no problem recommending them. I raced my TNX every weekend at our local off road track during the summer and fall and they held up great, but I do value YOUR opinion and will stay away from the shafts.

RE: TNX Modification Thread
ye, dont touch them, i havent tryed them, and never will. loads of pppl tryed them, but they twist, and the 2 litte rods sticking out at the end just wear of to fast. Which other parts do u have from GPM?
@ ScMc
if u get a kin. 124 servo saver, it comes with 3 different servo horn adapters
just use the 1 with a H on it. its the hitec 1(doh) it works great
