Was looking at the CF too. Fortunately the truck is a tank so not much breaks. Let me know what you arent going to use, I might be interested in some spares

It looks good. Can you take some pictures of the body mounts and how you did the rear of the body?

Car is on a mission, when I tested it today. Deff. get the shocks, absorbs much much more and handles ruts and rough sections very well. Doesn't bottom out for me either....

RE: Thunder tiger ST-1
yes the car is pretty much brand new
i got it for chistmas
and i just putted around for about half the first fuel tank
then it said to do some straight full throttle runs
and so i did
it worked fine for the first day
and the second
then the glow plug went
and a pull starter a couple of days after that
aswell as resonably hard to start
Is this just the breaking in process or should i get it checked?

RE: Thunder tiger ST-1
Half a tank is nowhere near enough break in. Google Heat Cycle Method and use that. Ive found it works the best
The stock engine has extremely tight pinch which makes it hard to start and easy to break the pull start. Try using a heat gun to warm the engine before you try to start it. It will make it a lot easier. During break in you may go through a glow plug or two.
If the engine is cutting out a full throttle you need to adjust the high speed needle.
If this is your first nitro engine do some googlng and read as much as you can. It will pay off in the long run.

As for my Race, it was a let down. Radio issues ruined my day, never made the mains or qualy, just practice. The truck though during practice was perfect and did not make one change. Went through the rough great and did not get upset on big jumps at all, It has a very well felt planted feeling to it and responsive. Rear end would not break loose. I had not one break, except a drive shaft falling out, just had to tighten down the screw. The shocks also provided rebound, something I could not achieve with the stock shocks. I say if your racing get the hubs and shocks. Truck is tough and for an old age truck it performed great and could not ask for more, wish TTR would update it..

RE: Thunder tiger ST-1
so whens your next race DS did you get your gear fixed up??? im stuck inbetween the shocks like you got with all the extras for 90.00 or i did some research and it turns out that the ofna lx2 16mm shocks are the same as the jammin 2s and i can get em for about 60.00 shipped so im still deciding what to do but from the input you gave me and you ve already mounted and tested them i might just go with the hyper 9 17mm im just so tired of my suspension letting me down like you said no rebound bottaming out etc...so if anyone is intereted i got 2 sets of front and a set of rear shocks brand new in packages ill let all 6 go for 35.00 and i also got all the stock aluminum towers,servo tray,diff cover new in package ill get rid of as well shoot me an offer cause i got all carbon plus the take offs for backup DS how much travel did you loose front n rear oh and i did email the guy just waiting on a reply
