pipe, engine, where the header meets the engine. Looks like alot of oil, has to be coming from somewhere.

ok

Two piece plastic pipes are prone for leaking. That is the same design pipe that is on my redcat tremors. For me to stop the leaking, I pulled it apart and cleaned it up and used sealer between the two halves. I would start there. It could be the front bearing, header gasket, exhaust coupler. But I would start by sealing the pipe first. And make sure you let the sealant cure before running the engine.

Here is my newest ride. This is the chassis for my new Himoto drag truck.

hahah nice, i think it might do a good wheelie at start. lol

jpilkinton

That is what I'm hoping for. Gonna try and put most of the stuff center-back and leave the front a little light. And the area in front of the front wheels will be the place I bolt weight to if it wheelies too easy and possibly a camera?. Just got to make me some wheelie bars.
Thanks bro.

Looking good! What is that pipe made out of? I've never seen one that color.

jpilkinton

Thanks bro!
That pipe is a Remington 300 Ultra Mag shell casing.
I don't know how well it will work yet, as I have not fired it up yet.
I was wanting to use a shell casing from a Lapua 338. That is a massive cartridge.

I thought it looked familiar! I would have never thought of using a casing for a pipe!

jpilkinton

Leave it to me, I can come up with some strange stuff.....

amf66

Lol, I've noticed!

Hey Guys,

My Local Hobby Store was closing up and they were giving discounts, so I bought yet another rc I don't need!!! It's a Micro Desert Truck and I also bought the Losi 180mAh 2s LiPo!

amf66

lol! Nice!

ehroof

Nice Tom,

How much?

kuppler

ed Thats a good Question........

pede_187

It was on sale for $81 and the charger was on sale too. I actually don't remember how much the lipo and charger was but retail was $49.99

ehroof

$81 nots bad, they retail for $89, I dont know why they are $10 more than the micro t, the lipo is a nice upgrade, get the ball bearings and the axles with the nuts, those e clips will drive you crazy.

pede_187

I'll try..........this thing is going to be hard to work on lol it's soo small

Eddie, I think part of the reason that it is $10 more is that I think the Desert Truck Chassis is extended. I know it is on the Mini Desert Truck compared to the Mini-T and looking at pictures of mini-t's and mini DT's it looks like it.

Kuppler, is there going to be a feb. raffle contest?

firebird78

hay Tommy......you going to mod that thing???....put like a sh.28 nitro engine on it??....lol

kuppler

im not to sure bro... ill have to think about it.....

pede_187

LOL, I don't think there will be a lot of modding going into this truck. I think it would have to be a .02 lol

amf66

I bet an SH .28 would be bigger than the entire truck!
