I believe that is a transponder mount.

The Hedgehog

Yep transponder mount from what I understand, don't forget to locktite all the screws that thread into metal and tighten the rest. Check your gear mesh also.

I got mine last week and have about 6 tanks though it so far. I had to go through and check everything, it seems like mine didn't have locktite or it wasn't evident. Make sure to check.

The car is amazing and I realy enjoy it. Plan on doing the steering mod sooner than later and also getting new wheels eventually or trying to reglue them, some are so far off and wibbly it makes the car shake.

so maybe the cooling heads were always suppost to have slots, that's why they probably seem to run pretty hot. To be honest it's the first motor I have seen where there are no slots in the head. I could never figure out why they would do this.

Nice can't wait. I wish I had a HD cam.

I did my first test run after switching to the S3 rear shock bodies for the front, and drilling my front and rear pistons to 1/16 or 1.6mm. HUGE difference. It seems to almost float over rough stuff. I switched to 45 front from 40 front to make up for the larger holes. I have 50 rear. 8 preload front, and 9 preload rear. I am liking this truck more and more every time I change something. Next comes a real engine.

ericem

AFAIK it already has a real engine

Darkfae

Heh, yeah, but this is my next engine.

I just want to add it to my cart and go to checkout. Then my dad will give me ****z at the end of the month if I don't pay for it......

ska8erj

hsy guys what temp do you usually run at??

jay863fl

Just out of curiousity, for the guys with the TT engine that comes with the RTR, what are your needle settings?

madmax22

err......... waiting on clutch bearings............... good question jay. everyone has different setting. All depends on humitity, temprature, altitude all those things. some one in canada will have WAY different setting from someone in florida. and all engines run different. I tune on how it run, and smoke trail. I have NOT used a temp gun on this thing yet.

TDS31

TTR ST1 up to $329.00 at a main dont know if anyone noticed

jay863fl

Ok, got it all figured out ~.^ I think. The seperate page that comes with the kit specifies the midrange (???) needle to be one turn out, but the actual manual says 6 1/2, I was like dang, 1 turn? So I screwed it all the way in and went to one, lol. But in the back of my mind I knew the factory couldnt be that far off, so thats why I asked.

ericem

lol 1 turn XD ya 6 turns is right.

Damn the price went up! Oh well...

Glad I ordered one before the price bump

Pexeter

They're prices fluctuate greatly, not just a few bucks, even on little things. The battery holder was 2.99 when I bought it, its now 7.99.

I'm sure if we can find out which is a perfect match it would help a lot of people out.
I while back I think jombo posted that st1 has the same pull start that fits on a 0.18 motor so maybe we need to look for one thats meant for a smaller size motor.

ericem

Try going to your hobby shop and bring your one way and backplate so you can see if the one way fits and if it matches the backplate.

jay863fl

WOW awesome first attempt. You may be on to something there

m80

Hey everyone, been reading the forum for the past month or so. Just got an ST-1, for any of you running 16mm Jammin big bores what weight oil and springs are you running?

oilmanbrown

it's all the power you need. Great throughout the entire RPM range. Easy to tune and I haven't messed with it since. I'm still running the stock pipe! Waiting to sneak this one past the wifey: [link=http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/products_id/11870]http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/products_id/11870[/link]

anyone have a solution to the trucks leaning out as fuel level drops, if you get it running good it will be lean before the race is over, anyone one ever ran a cooling fan, or is there a flywheel that is desighned like a fan, or sould I invent one.
