I ran both my trucks yesterday. The eldorada had some clutch issues, but no breakage, just some over heating due to too tall gearing. The mega p mxt 2s broke a peice off the front suspension that holds the pin in the bottom of it. Not sure what part number it is, but i'll probably just rig it to work for now, until I break more stuff. Between the two of them I ran about 6 tanks all together. Was beautiful yesterday, sunny and about 75 degrees. :D

Hi Mike, do you mean the part where the pin goes thru it on the bottom a arm? C carrier i think 903-017

RE: OK, WHO RAN WHAT? 4/20/08
 
That's the one. :D One of the ends broke off and the pin slid out. Luckily it didn't come all the way out, so I still have the pin. I rigged it with some solder and a piece of wire wrapped around so the pin doesn't fall out. I'll take it easy on it for a bit til I need some other stuff. Hate to just order one little part at a time. LoL

RE: OK, WHO RAN WHAT? 4/20/08
 
yeah, just make sure you dont loose that little grub screw at the end of where the pin slides in, the side twards the car.

Lordmik 04-21-2008 11:10 AM

RE: OK, WHO RAN WHAT? 4/20/08
 
As long as that side doesn't break off too, I should be good to go. LOL

tried to run the Monsoon, but the carb was giving me issues. Tornado ran for about 3 minutes and then busted, and then me and a buddy went and rode 4 wheelers all day saturday. That was pretty fun, but man I am sore as heck right now.:D

I ran a few tanks through my 1/16th Tremor truggy this weekend. The Tremors really are a lot of fun, tons of power and jump like a champ. I'll have some video of it up soon.

I havent ran my himoto 1/16ths in a while, i may have to break them out. i like my mini mamba but the mini megap is much better, 2 speed and really fast, allaboutfun has posted a video of his somewhere here on the himoto support forum, would smoke the 1/16 and it has the same engine, lol

RE: OK, WHO RAN WHAT? 4/20/08
 
Ya that 1/14 looks really quick but way too top heavy. Seems like you almost have to slow down to a stop to keep the thing from rolling. Any idea why it rolls so easily?

RE: OK, WHO RAN WHAT? 4/20/08
 
its simply too fast, lol. its 2x's as fast as the tremor's

i think a set of upgraded shocks would make it handle a little better too, we do offer better shocks for it.

RE: OK, WHO RAN WHAT? 4/20/08
 
Have you got your radar on one of the 1/14ths?? What is the top speed on those??

RE: OK, WHO RAN WHAT? 4/20/08
 
not yet, i need to get it out on day and get radar speed on alot of things. the weather is breaking here so i will get some good video, pictures and some radar speeds posted in the very near future.

AffordableRC 04-21-2008 01:16 PM

RE: OK, WHO RAN WHAT? 4/20/08
 
Ya I am curious to see the difference that 2 speed makes. You should try and get some video of the 1/16th and 1/14th at the same time just to compare size and power.

I am blown away how much fun these little cars are though. I really did have a blast jumping the Tremor this weekend.

Repost from the other forum, but I only got to run half a tank through my Tyrannosaurus this weekend. Late afternoon Sunday, back alley covered in packed and powder snow, had fun... Shoulda made up a bunch of jumps & stuff and took videos, but it was getting a bit chilly and I couldn't get a whole bunch of speed anyway 'cause there wasn't any traction.
