The Hedgehog

Yeah I feel dumb, the lip I didn't see before ha ha, junky weather can break it in today.... [:@]

ericem

My friend with the protek pack said it fits. It's tight but fits. Right now there is like 40 cm of snow outside lol. I also need a starterbox. My friend has one.

madmax22

its raining cats and dogs here. I wanted to go take it for a spin but my front yard has like 4 cm of water on it....... I just adjusted my breaks so now they dont rub. once my dad comes home and if he picks up engine mount screws ill take the chaos out. i g2g call him and tell him 2 get WD-40.

dbuggyracer

are they in good videos of the st-1 besides you tube not alot of racing action there.

madmax22

not really. I googled Thunder Tiger ST-1 and went under vids but they were all youtube vids. i saw one vid w/ the ST-1 racing but i cant find the vid anymore.

The Hedgehog

Jombo you start your nitro inside?!?

chedster

Alright guys notice my truck? It's dirty finally got to break it in! Only have like a tank thru it so gotta run it easy some more tomorrow still. Burned up like half the starter box rubber wheel trying to get it started. All I can say it wow it turns so sharp with the hitec 5955 and steering mod.

dbuggyracer

i seen the same vide your talking about. i drove one a few weeks back first time i ever drove a truggy and i really liked it so i ordered one and the wing mount and the pro upper front a arms, how good does the motors run that come with them i am going to run my nova on it and sell the motor that comes with it.

ericem

Try searching up ST1 instead. Lots of good video's on youtube.

madmax22

k ill try that ericem. hopefully the weather clears up a little more tomorrow and I can drive.

jombo

yea ,its raining outside lol

madmax22

lol i start mine downstairs and walk it to the door and then put it outside. only smells for a second or 2 i drive my chaos in the garage but i open the window and crack the garage door open.

What adaptor do I need to get the battery holder to connect to my ST-1? I cant find it on Amain. Thanks

ericem

None ? You might have to trim off part of the connector if it has the small lip which I noticed with some connectors. You can break it off with some pliers then trim it with some scissors or a file.

madmax22

how do you know if you have air leaks? Will it run lean when its rich as a mother? i put a tank thru the ST-1 it had a really nice smoke trail but when i would go idle it would go RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR i didnt get to do another tanks as the little black cup that holds the lower a-arm rod in broke.

ericem

Make sure the exhaust zip ties are tight. Also look at your fuel lines. Like it has that high pitched idle?? Also check your fuel lines like make sure they didn't get pinched or maybe hit the spur cb area. Another thing you can do is loosen the screw for the carb pinch bolt. Wiggle it loose a bit, then push down really hard on it make sure you linkage is still straight though and tighten the pinch bolt at the same time so that it makes a good seal. Could also be your running low speed to rich and high speed to lean.

madmax22

ok thanks ericem

ericem

No problem! I also forgot to mention, look at the exhaust gasket as well. The one between the engine and manifold. Your idle screw might be to far in as well. ALOT of things to look at lol.

madmax22

yup it was the LSN was to lean. run really good now! just waiting for my batt to charge.

chedster

Man this axial is a PITA! It runs super rich then you lean it out and the temps sky rocket and it starts tinging at idle. There is tons of smoke and it bogs down when you throttle it. I figure its rich but then you lean out the HSN and it starts tinging.[:@]
