uhoo I made mine 2wd and it was killer hard to controle and the rear diff didnt like it very much and your just going to add 2 times as much strain to the powertrain. Even if its spinning its still hard on things

yeah i no about hard to control lol its a mission and a half , my front drive shafts have come so i guess il just put them in but it does the best burnouts at the moment lol hahahahhahaha

[retrosoul]

do the geo landers come with foam?

[uhoo_01]

[uhoo_01]

if you do go the 2.2" option make sure you get the wheel offset that fits on with out hitting the arm's or anthing

Guess I'm lucky my wife confiscated my monsoon and now my hurricane said they are hers she left me only my 1/10's tsunami,viper and my losi. I thought she'd hate driving but I think she likes it more than me. Either way now when I order stuff I don't get yelled at lol.

[KeithjV]

damn swamp you are a lucky man...
retro Id go with the duratrax failsafe or any other one thats cheaper then that venom. $33 is a lot for a failsafe.
fill your shocks to the top of the body. Make sure to bleed out all the air bubbles before closing them up.

[retrosoul]

my wife loves driving them but hates talking about the technicals. and keith the venom is a temp gauage too with overheat failsafe too

[chevyderek72]

haha ya swamp3r that can be a bad and good thing. but if you wanted a new 1/8th because she took both of yours i bet she wouldnt complain haha

retro ive heard that the overheat failsafe breaks a lot. maybe im wrong but i hear a long time ago that you should just go with the regular fail safe, hopefully someone else will chime in

[retrosoul]

ok so i finaly get a break in the weather took my truck to a dirt parking lot. my truck started fine ran great till about half tank when i give it full throtle it just bogs right out. so i figured its gettin hot so i was trying to tune it and my glow plug igniter died i just charged it lastnight the igniter is from redcat starter package. has any 1 else had problems at half tank? if so how do i resolve it best?

[KeithjV]

if you have it set too lean, when the tank gets to half there might not be enough pressure to feed the fuel to the carb. Try making it a little richer and see if that helps.

[retrosoul]

i tried setting it back to factory setting the LSN flush with its collar and HSN all the way in and out 3 full turns i couldnt get it to idle and then my igniter died.

[retrosoul]

well im an idiot my lsn was way off i reajusted it back to where redcat said to and it fired right up and idled instead of 3 turns out for the hsn i went 4 so i leaned that out some and did the spit test and got it perfect with out any bogging. you guys must be getting sick of me by now.

[eminentguitar]

lol retro if you go back to almost the beginning of this thread you'll see some silly questions that I have asked. I read all my posts and just shook my head I cant believe some of the things that I got stumped on lol.

Kodiac400 What tires and rims are those???? I like them I want to get something like that for my mt2.

[Kodiac400]

I was asked the same thing on page 74 hehe. I got them @ This Site.

[Bgdustin4]

will this fit the vx18 http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLYX9 some one said it would i orderd it and i don't see how it will work

[uhoo_01]

took my bb tsunami out and ran it in a factory car park , ended up getting out there and finding my throttle servo had died for no reason , any one els had servo prob's? any ways went back to my house and put in a spare good futaba one i had . so took it back out and finished breaking it in and let her rip . i may need to go to a 14t bell . it does about 60-70kph with the 13t and single speed but has way to much bottom end and just wheel spins. a 14t or 15t may be good i think .the clutch bells tho are not that cheap for a good vented one suckzzz.

[uhoo_01]

iv got a spare futaba reciver as well , i might put that on cos the stock one does look a bit cheap .
