Default Dear Cen

well i think im falling in love right now. i currently have a tmaxx and a savage along with 3 other trucks. my friend has the genni and i like it alot then i saw the nemmi. now my own preference is the racer look, so let me tell you i love this truck.

my only concern is the ACTUAL ability to race. like those shocks ... if i wanted to use other shocks on it could i use tmaxx sized shocks ... couldi use proline shocks. also that pipe isnt doin it for me, would a .21-.32 sized pipe work ok. i was thinking jp2 or jp1. or maybe a werks pipe idk. and then i want to get that mean mother effer of a engine modded.

does anyone have a modded NX76???? that would BE INSAIN. ok get back at me. plz

I think the Novarossi as more power than the NX76.

Also, you should use the pro-line shocks, or use 4 rear 1/8 buggy shocks.

The JP-1 will give you more torque, and the JP-2 more speed

OH REALLY idk that any other motor fits in that truck. yea but idk about that nova being more powerful


first off thats a 5hp engine, sure its rough around its edges, you kno takes long to get up to speed you kno the usual.
that brings me to this. im sending that bad boy to eb mods to even out that massive power curve adn to boost rpms and hp


hopefuly it will be closer 6hp and maybe closer to 25,000 rpms then run on 30 or 33% nitro and a jp2 (because thats a torque motor)

then ill use the prolines. omg omg OMG IM SOOO EXCITED.

yes you can run a .28 and up in the nemesis should give you a snappier bottom and more topend especiall the nova 28 they do sell a different pipe for the .46 theres one made by new era racing. i have a nemesis and i love it its a beast in power and size it makes my mgt look small

Power Stroke shocks were designed for a Tmaxx/TNX size truck not a beast like the Nemesis.

I would try and make a set of LST shocks work a long time before I wasted my time with power strokes.

Use 1/8 buggy shocks. You can use 4. Or 8 if you are insane. 4 of them will hold.

And No, the stock engine probably doesn't even have 2.5 HP. I'd say closer to 2.0 HP

4 shocks wont cut it.... i tried.... you need 8. Shock mounts to either front or rear of the suspension arm. its not balanced with only 1 shock on each end....

8 aluminum shocks and around 20 wt ..... loving it..

The dyno's won't read anywhere near 5+hp for any .21-.32 engines, those are unrealistic claims.

why won't 4 shocks cut it? These are some of, if not, the strongest shocks out. 1/8 buggy shocks are extremely tough, and some come with 4mm thick shock shafts.

Or do you mean it bottoms out too much?
