Finally broke my TNX
It started as a nice day. Snow on the ground, kinda warm, and I had made some ramps from the snow.
I landed a jump really badly, cracked the bumper. I kept on going. I landed ANOTHER bad jump, 12 foot landing right on the left front wheel and snapped the plastic driveline.
On another note, anyone ever run sidewinder? Man this stuff stinks! Im used to O'donnells with a light odor. Sidewinder is potent stuff, makes the car run like crazy with less oil though, so I cant complain.

RE: Finally broke my TNX
dont you just love the snow for cleaning your truck. makem look almost new again.
If you dont want to replace the driveline with the plastic ones, you can replace them with metal drives and universal joints.
search for "tnx plastic driveline fix" and enjoy

RE: Finally broke my TNX
I was using odonnells, but i didnt like the fact that it is clear (makes quick checking fuel levels a pain). so i switched to a colored stuff, and i read somewhere that sidewinder and odonnells provide practically the same tune. turns out they do, but i richened it up a bit more for the sidewinders. byrons is worse than sidewinder? must be potent stuff[sm=stupid.gif]

RE: Finally broke my TNX
nice job on the driveline there. how are those tnx's? pretty good or no? also me and my friends were at the hobby shop today before work. we found this stuff from PARMA that makes your exhaust smell like cherries - root beer - lemon - and cotton candy. I think that is all the scents they had. anyways it was five bucks for for a bottle that treats 8 quarts. you just add a cap to a quart of fuel and shake. i work in a suspension shop so it smells just like any other mechanics shops, like grease and air tool oil and crap. well my one buddy who bought it mixed it up and ran his truck on lunch while me and another coworker went to get food. well when we came back all you could smell was cherries. could barely smell nitro at all. so if you want to make the nitro more nose friendly try some of this stuff out. he got his at Hobbytown USA in Ohio. dont know where else to get it though. just thought i would shed some light and post about it. it is quite cool
