That pipe and header seems a little under score for that engine!! What pipe is that?? Looks like a RTR pipe of some sort. Nice truck though!!

Nope, not a rtr pipe. It's an AL650 that I buffed to a shine.

How is your SM coming along? I know you have a 247 in it, but have you seen the new heat sink head that XTM has put on it???

Truggy.....Boooo! Where are you? I'd love to race you. A friend with a Dominator and Picco .26 had an attitude similar to yours. It was fun watching him eat a slice of humble pie.

I am in San Antonio Texas. I eat buggies for lunch...

Truggy or not, it was the first MT to have .21 power and had the drivetrain to handle it...

Dude! That's pretty sweet! What buggy do you have? I was actually considering getting a buggy. I have buggy wheels that I put on my MP and it's pretty fun.

I am going to try putting a center diff on my MP to get the power equally to all wheels. Right now it has that spool in the center!

You are really waiting for the Sirio? It's gonna be around the 230-ish range is what I heard.

LOL I should have guessed that, but I just wanted to raise your blood a little LOL, as for my sm, I no longer have 1, I parted it out just like alot of my other trucks back in january, I wish I didnt but hey sometimes you just got to take care of the things that matter most. How ever I built my current truck shortly after, and have damn near as much in it as an sm!! As for the xtm, I have parked it and stuffed a .26 picco in. Anyways, that new head looks pretty nice, but Im sure its made out of the same crappy aluminum as the original, I bet it will cool the engine alot better but not as well as my NOVA head.
Off subject, have you heard anything about maxxtraxx?? I sure miss that place, I talked to Tom (wolfs4evr) about a month ago, and he didnt know any more than I did, I think the boss man gave up on running it, but who knows!!

I heard over on JoiseyMaxx that a few members got in but only for a few days here and there. I don't know how, but they did.

It was shutdown because the building their server was in got repossessed (sp?) by the bank. They had to go and prove their ownership and all that but I think they are still trying to find a place to host.

Corey- I don't think so. If he had been at the only offroad track I know of, I think I would have heard of him. If you have any pics of it, I may have seen it...

And I really don't see why people make fun of the truggies. I have owned two T-Maxxes, and durability wise, they just don't compare. Truggies and buggies are for racing. Some people just haven't got that yet...

I don't have a Savage. And you really can't compare a MP/Dom to a Savage because the Savage wasn't meant to race. You would want to compare it to a Titan. I don't talk about drag races anyway - those are for people who are fast, but only in a straight line.

A track, however, shows true skill and how well you can tune your truck.

HAHAHAHA the truggy comments kill me. I also have a MP very similar to yours. I just installed a picco .26 have you tacken on any of those savages at the track that every one is running. I love my Truggy and have a couple of trucks. Looking to race now with my converted mp. I have seen a couple .26 savages and they are bad but I have also seen some RB powered MP's and forget about it. I guess I'm still trying to see if the extra money for the RB is worth it. I consider myself a pretty good driver and if your not pulling away from me on a straight with the RB and I have the picco it's all about driving.

I have yet to meet someone who could drive better than me with a 4wd MT. The SportMaxx....I can't realy drive that with the stock tires. Anything else, let's go! We need to have one huge race! Up in Houston or Dallas would be sweet.
