I have asked this question of you numerous times and you have not answered. DO YOU HAVE A MANUAL? Some of the things you ask are in the manual. If you do not have one you can down load it from HPI web site, as you really need to have one.

If you do not want to spend much money why would you even consider any CF? I have the front CF shock tower only because I picked it up off ebay new for $5 and have not had a problem with it.

Bead lock wheels are held on by screws that go through the rubber on the tires so if you keep changing from on to off road tires you are going to be putting more holes in the tires every time you change. All so they are way to heavy.

Being money is a factor which pipe has a lot to do with how much you want to spend.

LOL U GOT THE FRONT SHOCK TOWER FOR 5 BUCKS LOL when i got the carbon fiber upper deck i found a guy that wuz selling it for 45 buck plus shipping............i emailed him and i tolled him id give him 20 bucks and that has probably had that item in stock for YEARS AND IT WUZ PROBABLY ALL DUSTY and he answered back YES NO ONE WANTS THE DAM THING LOL he took my 20 bucks and he payed shipping LOL i hustled his ass LOL if it wasnt for that i wouldnt have gotten it lol

should i be looking for 2.2inch wheels and tyres or are the wheels of the rush evo called sumthin else. because i am looking for new off-road wheels and tyres sets.

the rush uses 2.2 wheels but any ones you get you need to make sure that you get front and rears for it since the fronts are not hex wheels

i have posted a simalar question in the engine thread but thought i might get more help in here among my fellow rush user's

the thing is i cant get the damm thing to start i had it running in the morning then it cut out my mate played around with the screws on the carb and now it just wont start!!! please can some1 help me i am a noob to the nitro engine and dont hav a clue where to start even trying to sort it out

many thanx in advance for any help u can giv

Put all the carburetor needles back to the factory settings then make sure you glow plug igniter is well charged or in working order. Then check or better yet replace the glow plug and try to start it.

Whew! just got in from running my truck, and I had a bit of a tough time. I had just pulled it all apart, and put all the new parts on, and I had to pull the carb apart to clean it all, since it was caked in dirt. the hsn was all full of sand and junk, so I washed it all out, and put a touch of ARO on the parts to inhibit any rust. In the process, I managed to keep all the settings intact, except for the idle adjustment, since I had to pull the screw right out, and clean out all the dirt in between the coils of the spring.

Anyway, I got it out there, and it was a pain to start, and wouldn't stay running. so, I put the needles back to factory settings, and it turned out i had the hsn set WAY rich (about 4 turns out from closed), and the lsn WAY lean (about 1.5 turns in from flush). So, I put this all back to factory, and it started, but was still too rich, so I leaned the hsn another half turn, and the lsn about 1/4, so it's running good now. I was wondering if the dirt in the hsn could have caused some problems with it running leaner than it really was. Has anyone else ever had this kind of problem?

Not sure which engine you are running but every engine I have run, which now is bout 10 in different vehicles, have an o-ring on the needles so I do not see how dirt can get in buy the needle. All so I do not recommend using water to clean any engine or bear metal part. You should use something like brake parts cleaner and either blow it off with compressed air or clean rag. All so when adjusting a carburetor from factory settings you should adjust the HSN first and get it adjusted properly before ever touching the LSN.

Well, I'm running the T-15, and i did adjust the hsn first (since the hsn controls overall fuel flow, and the lsn just the low-speed fuel flow). But, as I said, when you unscrew the bronze hsn casing from the carb body, and pull the fuel inlet off the hsn casing, that was all full of grit and junk. there were no O-rings in there, just flimsy paper gaskets.

I never owned a T15 but there should not be dirt inside any carburetor. All so now that you elaborated on it more I understand what you are saying. Yes according to HPI web site it does have 2 paper gaskets as well as the o-ring I was talking about. If all that was tight and the gaskets and o-ring where there I do not see how dirt or sand got in it unless it came from the fuel tank.

Hmmmm, could be, i don't have a filter in there, so it's possible. I doesn't seem that anything was getting past the hsn, but I think it was restricting flow, making it run leaner that it should have.

Was all the dirt or sand inside the fuel nipple the part that has the 2 paper washers on each side? I know before I fuel each time unless it is a longer race then I have fuel for and have to pit I blow off around my fuel tank each time I fuel. I even have a small air compressor I take to the track. Just hope none of the dirt got in the engine, as it does not take much to mess up one of these small engines. I have seen one grain of dirt destroy an engine.
Good Luck

has the evo been discontinued? i notice it says this on towerhobbies.com

Unfortunately, this is true. But you can still get most parts for it at hobby shops all around, although I'm finding some parts tough to get, like the CF upper deck, and a couple other parts.

Yes it has but what is funny is that HPI still has it on it's site under the new stuff.

The HPI site is retarted in the HPI site its still listed as new truck but on the ERUO site its bein listed as disonntuned for over 9 months no one belived me!!!!!!

The US HPI web site has ALL WAYS been behind the others. When something new comes out it take HPI US about 6 months to get the instructions on their site and the other sites have them shortly after the new release but not in the US!!!!!! Been busy working on my new Hyper 8.

WORKING ON THE HYPER 8?? its a kit or are you adjusting it for track use??? have u used it??? yet???

just when i thought about getting one, it's not made any more. well still got my mt 2. i've been driving my monster gt lately, planning on getting the mt 2 up and running in a couple months. planning on getting a hyper 8 or thunder tiger s3 this winter.
