when I rebuild my engines, I use O2 sensor safe high temp silicon. just use it very sparingly. let it dry for 24 hours without any oil. then reset the carb to factory settings, then break it in the right way.

it not 2 hard to make them. u just need 1 tool: needle nose pliers or a regular pliers. one to hold the link and one to bend it open

1. go to the hardware store and buy 10 feet of chain of your choice(i payed .69 cent a foot for mine)
2. take a piece of chain and put it one the inside of the tire near the rim, rap it around near the rim
3. cut it/open a link so u can take it off from the rest of the chain
4. put it alongside of the main chain and measure out one for the other side
5. hook 1 chain together and then do it for the other side too
6. now u need to figure out how many links u r going to need to make it to the other side.(my moabs used 10 links across)
7. make about 7-10 of those
8. now u can open both ends of it and hook one to one side of the tire and then to the other, then close the ends
9. count of like 4-5 spaces after the one u just hooked up and then place another
10. do this until u r satisfied and think u have enough
11. u do want to make sure the chains on the outside of the wheel next to the rims r tight but not to tight. shouldn't really have any play in them so u may have to take out a link or 2

hey evader st 9887
its a CVEC tunable pipe
It's a small block pipe, and you can adjust it for torque or high end by stiffening the spring/piston inside the muffler. and yeah i did get it with one of my os engines.lol

Snaut Rocket

Get the traxxas resonator pipe. Probably get one really cheap off of ebay.

bigstang

what servo is better

the Futaba S3305 specs: tad faster speed but less torque

Speed: 0.25 sec/60° @ 4.8V
0.20 sec/60° @ 6V
Torque: 124 oz-in (8.9 kg-cm) at 6V
99 oz-in (7.1 kg-cm) at 4.8V


or the Hitec HS-645MG more torque but less speed
SPECS:
Speed: 0.24 sec/60° at 4.8V
0.20 sec/60° at 6.0
Torque: 106.93 oz-in at 4.8V (7.7 kg-cm)
133.31 oz-in at 6.0V (9.6 kg-cm

they look sooooo close i just cant tell. im running the s3305 for stearing but i want to get another but im not sure what i want

BEARBYSR

I run the Fatuba s3305 on all my rc's , and it has been one great servo. JMO.

hey bigstang, I looked up the hpi 350 truck body on tower. Thats exactly what I have been looking for! Is it a good fit for the evader or is there alot of mods to do for a good fit?

bigstang

all u have to to is get the Nylon Body Post White 1.5 and take your stock front body mont and cut off the little nubs and then screw these in from the other side. doc has this body too and this is what he did

heres the link http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0001P?&I=LXD236

crizbe

thanks bigstang. I have seen pictures of doc physics ride and the body looks sweet!! especilally when you are a ford man!!

greywolf187

I use the Hitec HS-645MG in all of my T-Maxx's I like the heavy torque to move the big tires. AS for the rest of my cars? I use whats on sale, or the best price, BUT, I like Hitec. they seem to take a lot of pounding and don't fail. I've had the first one for almost five years and it's still going strong. JUST remember one thing, I keep freshly charged batteries in the T-Maxx's. It's your car, get what you like.

Price went up. last week it was 25.99 + 3.99 Shipping.

bigstang

yeah u could say im a ford man too.
2002 mustang v6 nitrous tons of other stuff runs 13.5 in the 1/4 mile

docphysics

I'm a ford guy too!



There are those white body post extenders we were talking about. That is the only mod you need.

N49185

Where did you get that Ford Body?

bigstang

towers http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...7&I=LXAPU2&P=K

greywolf187

Oh by the way. the CVEC pipe is no longer being made.

greywolf187

What servos do you guys use??? I was just thinking, that I've always used upgraded servos for steering but not for throttle/brake. the steering is the Hitec HS-645MG for the T-Maxx's. but stock in everything else. so what do you guys use for your throttle/brake servo???

bigstang

i still have the one that came with the truck when i bought it new like 3 years ago lol. but for steering i bought a Futaba S3305

greywolf187

I think that unless you really pound a servo they will last a long time.

bigstang

well the steering ones go out the most, unless u get a metal gear servo which the gears cant strip from taking a small hit in the front unlike the plastic gear servos can very easily.

greywolf187

what about the new karbonite ones???

bigstang

do u have a link?

bigstang

does anyone use shock covers? and if u do where did u get them, thanks

greywolf187

and this
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXDEM3&P=7

bigstang

i still say they r just plastic just a little stronger. if u get the 2nd one u might as well get a METAL gear servo for the same price
