There are trees all over the place, tho we had them removed at that area.

Yes I know the States lol :P.

Strangest thing for me is not seeing snow.

Used to be in Canada before, got soo used to it.

Over here it hits like 50 C in the shade during the summer.

rcpowerhorse

here are some hope fully you can see them

qaiz

Is it me, or is your wing like crooked lol.?

I never use 4 body clips, I got tired of loosing them.

Use 1 with a zip tie on the end.

Saying that, I have like 200 of those cheap ones, by Team Accossiated @ 70 cents for a pack of 6 by tower hobbies

Kept the original ones away from the body, and only on the radio box, the stock ones are pretty good.

-=NitrageN=-

Can anyone give me some direction? My Nitrage broke, i'm looking for a lower A-arm for the front right. Anyone know where to look? [sm=71_71.gif] Would like to find aluminum a-arms if possible so this wont happen anymore... thanx.

qaiz

Hey, welcome.

What do you mean by broke.?

Check with your LHS, maybe they might have it in stock.

As for aluminum ones, I think the RPM ones might fit, not to sure tho.

lol i fianly decided to contribue to the thread here are some picks of my nitrage after a clean up after my first day after the track











and a bit of art homework the othere 2 cars are xtm truggys i raced them and destroyed them

qaiz

THERE IS NO WAY THAT NITRAGE HAS EVER BEEN RUN.!

Its absolutely TOO clean.

Ive never managed to make mine look that good.!

Howd you do it.!?

And is yor track covered in silk or something.!!!??

joelgould111

im going to put a guide up maby soon prety much all i do is remove all electroncs so servos receiver batterys and all that stuff then the engine and if you want the exhaust then spray loads of wd40 all over it then take it to the garden and power hoze and let dry re build and your done lol nope my track is 2 inches deep in mud and sand lol its not so clean at the moment i could not be bothered to powerhose so i used a brush and a glass of water

qaiz

Joel, the only time mine looked like that was when it was new.!!!!

Its too clean, how'd you do the tyres.!

That pic was when it was new :P.

The airfilter comes pink lol, and the minute you start it, it goes brown.!

qaiz

And is it me or did you remove the thingy that helps the air filter stay in place.

The one mounted on the tranny case..?

joelgould111

tyres were left on when i powere hosed it lol the air filter is still pink because i dont use the stock one but when i took the photo my good one was being cleaned and yes i did remove the erxhaust plastuc bit and the airfilter one they seemed pointless to me lol

joelgould111

i know thats the right photo because i made the hole in the boddy after the first day at the track and the same with the fuek filter

joelgould111

come on qaiz reply lol

joelgould111

ok i had another spending spree lol i bought some decent alen keys some orange fuel line some glow plugs some fuel a front break kit and some more things lol and a battery moniter





THE LAST ONE IS MY BREAK MOD LOL

qaiz

Id' never be able to keep mine like that.!

Joel, could you get me a close up pic of how you attached your fuel filter.?

I made 2 holed on that air filter holder, and use zip ties to hold my fuel filter in place

AND WHAT AIR FILTER IS THAT....!!!!???

And why did you remove that thingy that holds the exhaust in place..!?? Lol it looks like its hanging in mid-air.

But I really like the way my fuel tubing is done

gaiz

what steering servo u using, brushless Futaba BLS351 or BLS451?

cheers

etopsflight

qaiz

JR Es579's all around.

Love them, 9.3kg/c, @ I think .13/60 @6V

Just try and get something with about 8kg/cm and you should be fine, that servos a bit overkill for the throttle/brake, well aslong as it works.

etopsflight

oops, yeah. just remembered you said that on another site!!!

amazing to see the price of the nitrage on the US Tamiya site, even at discounted price - so expensive.

did see somebody say they bought one on ebay for US$308. i am pretty shocked at the US market sales of the Nitrage. Even with so much competiton from other international and mixed brands, you would think with Tamiya's pedigree it would have a loyal following.

man, i am still waiting for stock of the RTR nitrage from my LHS' which is at a reasonable price!

cheers

etopsflight

qaiz

@ etops

Yeah im the same person lol.

You'll love this. When are they getting in stock. But wouldn't ie be cheaper there.?

Theres a small reason tho this high price, this thing does not break. Ive heard of people breaking theirs, thats just due to they cannot drive.

Mine has taken a beating, if you remember, I had posted a thread a while back when I really hit it hard. All that broke was a Shock End.

Another user on this site flipped his one, and his rotostart broke. Mine has started me through 3 gallons, 1 more tank im on the fourth.

The only real thing that ever broke due to a lack of quality was the servo saver, again, my fault on that one too because I have all my end point adjustments set at 125.

This is probably the most under-rated rc out there at the moment.

qaiz

This gives an idea of how bad mine has been abused lol.

It has run on everything solid. Rocks, cliffs, gravel, sand, mud. Flew it off a cliff a week back. My antenna tube came out, thats it.

etopsflight

giaz

the bottom of your deck looks well and truely "bashed"!

i could have a nitrage tomorrow from a couple of LHS. the main point is the price. there's been a price hike recently. there are only two RTR's left; one is a display model and the kit form is on the shelves now.

both are pricey now companred to end of 2007 prices. just dun want to pay over the odds for a what seems a good car even though there are few supporters out there!

we'll see, i might get itchy this sunday and go the LHS again for what maybe the final look! *LOL*

first i need to clearly establish what's included in kit form and more important, what's not included!

btw, why do you have an air filter connected ont your fuel tank pressure line? where did you buy the plastic gizmo which helps you pinch the fuel supply line?

qaiz

etops

Yeah thanks for the truly bashed comment lol

Honest opinion, if you can get the kit form, GO AHEAD AND DONT LOOK BACK.

With the kit, I think you get nearly all the Hop - Ups excluding the 2 speed tranny. The reason im saying this is because, lets say you buy the RTR. And you then buy the precision steering plate, you do not have to take down the entire front end to install that 1 part, just do it while you're building it.

Also with kit form, you get a chance to customise it from the very beginning, as in diff oil, shock oil, etcc.

Nauticar got the kit version, check with him what all he got with it. I got the RTR and am buying all the hop ups for it excluding the 2 speed tranny.

Now to your second question.

The reason Ive put in a fuel filter into my preassure like is because it helps keep positive preassure on the tank, I have no idea how it works, it just does . Stole that tip from someone else

Thats an RB Innovations fuel like stopper avaliable at Tower Hobbies for like $2 - 3

Its pretty good, just press it down, it locks into place, and you done even have to run your tank dry, it creates a barrier so the fuel dosent reach the carb. Better than using your hand

Hope that answers your question

joelgould111

ye pics cumming up i prefer the way i have my fuel line lol simple and clean lol

joelgould111

@ etops

as qaiz says the nitrage is verry strong as in super strong i jumped it over a 13 foot shiping container and all that happend was my anttena tube fell out so i use fuel line to hold it in place lol i have had not one thing go wrong with mine just a scew fell out lol and my hairline crack was actuarly a piece of hair


also sory about the bad photos i broke my camera doing ajump with my t-maxx it also broke my arm

joelgould111

lol here is a photo of my arms x-ray lol
