some purple titanium turnbuckles would look sweet on your gt's... a very hard color to find though[:@]

for some people

[email protected][8D]

i got some for 3$ each!!! they were brand new!! oem packaged so they were only taken out to be repackaged in sets of 6 instead of bags of 100!!

ok, I feel like a tard...I looked up the instructions on mip's site, and followed them:P no nipple necessary, LOL.
and HPI has a set of purple Ti turnbuckles for the Rush, try that.

GT's require a threaded crank.

Hi

Hay Thunderbird I would recommend getting a nipple for that 360 Stinger. It will make starting the engine easier. As it is the stinger is trying to force exhaust into a tube that is being pinched. That nipple will help give your fuel tank more presser, and make it easier to start your truck. I know my trucks start easier with them on.

Yeah, I'm gonna head to my LHS later to see if i can find one that'll thread into the hole since it's bigger than any of the nipples i have laying around, but the tubing isn't pinched at all, and the truck runs just fine. I don't like the idea of just cramming the tubing in there, but it seems to work.
I'm a big fan of the stinger now, cuz it keeps all the gooey nastiness off of the left rear of the truck [sm=thumbup.gif][sm=thumbup.gif] I think it lost some bottom end torque, though, but makes up for it with top end power. I think it needs an engine upgrade soon, so if anybody wants a well used AE .15, lemme know the Fantom FR series looks pretty good...

Hey, about the RC10GT upgrade kit. It's hangin on the wall at my LHS with a $52.99 tag on it. worth the bucks, or would my money be better spent elsewhere? this truck's just a basher, but I figure if the chassis in there is thicker or somethin I might go for it.
TIA

You can find it a lot cheaper online, in the 35-40 range. I upgraded from my tubchassis with the upgrade kit, i think its worth it. It makes it much easier to clean the truck in my opinion.

Mine isn't a tub chassis truck though, it's the RTR Plus.

then no upgrade is needed, that kit turns your truck INTO the plus...now for ppl like me, i had to buy the kit cause i had old rtr. lol.

ahh, gotcha
i didn't know if it was an upgrade to the FT or what.
i do know the shocks on my truck suck though:|

winter project[:@]

RPM blue bumper? looks nice.

I just got back from my lhs and tehy had a body for sale unpainted, it was $15 an HPI one for the nitro rush. well, i start to take all the stuff out of the bag and i think HPI wants me to buy more products, look at all this crap that came with the body!

wow, did it come witrh a savage -_-

ewww me no likey savage. just the body for my junker GT. it wont look too bad, its gonna be blue with white spots...or the other way around...[&:]

Drop that slippin-*** MIP and get this aluminum.... I can't BELIEVE HOW FAST MY TRUCK IS WITH NO SLIP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HI Rays

Dont sell it. If you did you would be lucky to get 500 for it. Set it up for street raceing. Thats what I'm doing with mine.

Not to sure yet I just dont seem to have the time. It was fun building it.

rays89 what have clocked your rc10gt doing.

if nothin else, just polish her up real nice and set 'er up on top of the TV in the living room for some eye candy
I, myself, wouldn't be able to own it, cuz i'd be afraid to mar that purdy chassis

Be nice to keep it all shined up, I sure really dont want to scratch that chassis. But sometimes you let go of some toys to buy others.

rays89 have you clocked your trucks speed.

I never had enough room to bring it up to top speed, My course was a little small and hairy. You make a mistake and your into the woods

Well I had to put it on the block on E-bay. Kind of reluctant but I dont have the time anymore. It aint cheap but its worth it. If anybody wants to check it out. My E-bay screen name is Rays89[]

Well I tried to sell it on E-bay at a reserve twice, Then I pulled the auction a third time, But this time Ive placed it on E-bay with no reserve starting price at a buck, And Im letting it go for sure. As Dr Smith said in lost in space "oh the pain oh the pain" Cause I know Im going to take a hit on this car, But Im have no need for it anymore the fun was building it. My E-bay screen name is Rays89 it can be found at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MESE:IT
