The servos are no good man I put better ones in mine as soon as I got it. The throttle servo was hooped before I even got the thing.

uhoo_01

yeah il leave the stock steering one for now but iv got a futaba one for that to go in if i need too ...

eminentguitar

So no blown up parts yet???? Im shocked that that BB hasn't destroyed it yet lol

uhoo_01

umm lol well , i worked out the first gear i half stripped was because of the engine mount came loose so i only stripped a 1/3 of the gear . so i moded it a bit more and got the engine to mesh really well and there was enough left on the gear to run it , i though il see how it goes for break in and it worked great . but i did a few high speed runs and put a few hard running tanks through it yesty and i fully root"d that gear hahahahaha lol but i have 2 spare ones so tonight il bang a new one in and it should last fine.im still only running 2wd because they sent me the wrong DS's but it seams to be running great on-road handles like a dream with such a good throttle pick up just carries the front wheels

uhoo_01

and il have to take sum vids , its just hard cos i usally take it out alone . il have to get the GF off her azz and work the camara. lol

eminentguitar

thats sweet man. What shafts did they send you????? If the you have to make them longer or shorter that super easy man. But if I were you I'd put the hpi mt2 18ss shafts and cups in there way stronger. Are you running the 2 speed ot single speed? I just sold 5 single speed gears a while ago for $1 on ebay lol it seems like when I want to buy sonething everyone els does too but when I try to sell sonething I always get nothing lol.

I can drive and record at the same time lol but there really shakey vids

uhoo_01

im running the single with the 13t vented clutch bell , hit hammmmmmerz but it has way to much bottom end so il get a 14t axial vented CB but there like $25 rip off i reckon ay . they sent me the DS's for the front to the tranny , so there way to short and i read up on your post about moding them to make them longer but id rather just get the right ones.

eminentguitar

Well man my cv-rx 18 destroys the redcat cups and bones in no time thats why I went with the mt2 18ss parts and still no problems

eminentguitar

Im in a bind here im trying to decide if I should put a BB im my tsunami or put 2 os 18 tz's in it (even tho one tz is to much)

eminentguitar

How much engine life do you think im going to lose if I use 25% nitro???? Instead of 20%

uhoo_01

man sport style bb's are so cheap right now , $100-140 you get a great engine ( axial, go ,sts , sh , sportswerks , ect) go the bb man hahahahaha you will love it . im thinking i should have got the sportswerks mach over the axial but oh well i saved 30 bucks

eminentguitar

What about picco? How are they? And the engine life question anyone????

KeithjV

the piccos are great engines. Lots of HP and RPM's. Ive never heard anyone complain about them.
I dont think you'll notice any real difference in life span using 25%. You will have to retune a little and you might need to use a cooler plug but other then that you should be fine. I was running 30% for a while but I changed back to 20 at the recommendation of the LHS. He said for bashing the 30% was overkill. Kind of made sense..

eminentguitar

Well man the reason I asked it because I bought some sidewinder 25% but I meant to get the 20% and didnt notice till a already used a tank full. It runs great off of the 25 but when you said I might have to run a cooler plug does this make sence My tz has a super hot turbo plug in it and even with the 25% nitro it runs good but it doesnt seem to have the power that everyone said it should have. Its only a wee bit faster then my cvrx

eminentguitar

Do any of you guys have the losi 1/36 micro t or any other micro rc's? I was thinking of getting one just to bash around in the house with in the winter time lol

uhoo_01

looks good, i cant wait to see some video

i actually wanna get one of the micros. there were come at my lhs for like 70 i think, but i picked up a tornado for that much. it would be nice though to just have one to run inside, or outside when i dont wanna bust out the nitro. but i hate having to deal with batteries.

retrosoul

i had a MINI T 1/18 with a brushless lipo setup and it was good. i fixed some guys dirtbike and he paid with the mini t kinda miss it i had to sell it.

retrosoul

uhoo whats the reason for the zip ties on the head of your motor?

uhoo_01

beacuse it stops the head getting stuffed when it rolls ova when the bodies off and beacuase the engine's so tall it sits through the body any way . but it does not always help , i lost the top layer of fins on my sh.18 hahahahahhah in a big roll ova sum sh1t just dont help lol

retrosoul

ohhhhhh i c good idea what motor do you have?

AllAboutFunHobbies

Looks like either an Axial 21 or an Axial 28.

uhoo_01

axial .28 spec 1s big block

AllAboutFunHobbies

That's what I have in my Savage. Those engines rock and roll brother. Have you ran it? OH OH, but one thing to watch for is the mid range needle can start leaking and it will make the tune all eradic, keep your eye out for that, if it happens your gonna need new O-rings for the Mid range needle.

uhoo_01

ya mean the high or low needle , cos i do see sum leakage . yes i have ran it and get has so much torque down low ( wheelies or wheel spin take ya pick lol ) lacks sum top end i should have not bin a tight azz and got the RR oh well , hahaha the RR looks better as well
