Why not? What happened?

Soccerlaw, check ebay, I got 4 mugen hubs with pins and nuts for $25 shipped. You may get em even cheaper if you're lucky.

[img][/img] just want to show a few pics, I hope this will help keep the dirt out better,lol.

Anybody use MTs on their truggies for bashing? Are they too big and will put too much strain on the engine? Just curious as somebody sent me the wrong tires and wants to offer them to me for a reduced price rather than having to return them.

Sweet JC, I was planning on doing that with some scrap lexan. If nothing else it helps keep crud building up on the drives so there not as much to clean =P

JChrisjohn

thats better[img][/img] ya these are carbon fiber reeds out of my trx 250r that where chipped so I just cut the bad out.

JChrisjohn

I am not sure what the diffrence is but am sure it will not hurt that engin I actually thought a truggy ran MT tires, but I du no.

Chedster,

Did you not like the extended hubs? You just got them, right? I remember when you said you won them on ebay and were really pumped.

Some one was "bugging him" so he left and told some of us if we wanter to talk to go to another sight. I wish jombo was still here but if he gets any new MOD's or ideas ill ask if I can bring them here for you guys.

chedster

Ya I just got them have yet to test them out it started raining but it really gives the truck a widened stance should help a lot on the track. Let me guess it was Integra bugging him?

Thanks madmax, that will be very helpful to those of us who dont know which site he is at now.
also, chedster what level do you race at? I plan on racing my st-1 this summer in the Portland/metro and surrounding areas. It would sure be nice to see some other ST-1's around.

chedster

Ya this is actually going to be my first summer actually racing. Mostly at the club level. I'm going to the lunsford gas blast next week and am excited for that. You moving to portland? I'll be in Corvallis but it would be fun to race with some fellow st-1s.

grimespdx

Well, right now im going to school in Eugene. But my parents live in portland and im moving back in with them for the summer. This will be my first time racing too. Wish I could start going to some races now. but im also on the baseball team, so that takes up most of my free time. Im looking to drop some cash into the st-1 this summer to get it race ready ( New engine, bump start, servos, Dx3, any anything else I think it needs) But I will for sure be around the portland and surrounding areas for the novice 1.8 truggy class, and i might be looking into the 1/10 nitrost class too. You know any good tracks around the portland area? I havent been to a track since I was 11.

madmax22

Just cleaned the ST-1 again because I was super bored and its mad clean! Ill get pics once I put it back togerher. not putting the eng. back in till my bearings come. I also got some orange fuel tubing

Here are some pictures of my St-1. Not even done with break in, has been raining sooooo much.

Nice! just wondering why you mounted the exhaust pipe the way you did? Doesn't look like the gasket between the header and pipe is flush either. Should sit like this. When you put on the springs for the manifold you need to put them in the other hole, look at the way it sits on the truck then match the springs with the closet hole and they need to be about 1 cm apart each spring.

jay863fl

Well, think its all broke in. Starts almost first pull everytime, just gotta do some more tuning to get it right all the way. Also, this engine that came with the rtr seems to run cool, does that seem about right to you guys? I still need to lean it out a little, but it hovers right around 200 or so. Any input on that?

grimespdx

hey eric. Ya those first three pics are from when I first mounted everything. After i looked at it, I adjusted everything to where it should have been. Doesnt look at crooked and out of wack anymore.

ericem

Ohh ok thats good!

grimespdx

Hey I was wondering how exactly I replace my hubs. I bought the thunder tiger red ones.
A link or anything will help.
thanks

ericem

Just loosen the set screws in the middle. Look in the middle of the stock wheel hexes you will see it, just loosen it with a allen key and the pin should come out easily.

lol just wondering don't see any springs on the part of the exhaust between the pipe and manifold.

grimespdx

ya...bad lighting i guess. I have the 3 on that came with the pipe/header combo. I should be heading to the hobby shop in the next couple of days. Im going to pick up some more of the little springs. How many do you guys use? 3 or 6? thanks for the info on the hubs!

grimespdx

alright, I took the grub screw all the way out. Im still having a hard time getting the pin to come out though. Is there a trick to it?

thanks

Got the fronts done. the rear pins do not want to budge

madmax22

A pic of the clean ST-1..... Hopefully my stuff comes tomorrow I REALLY want to run my truck's...... ericem I got a spur w/ the chaos to....

ericem

Did you try taping on them with a allen key?? Oh and we only run 3 springs.

Nice I just got my Losi 8ight-t pipe, fits pretty nice. I will take some good pics once my LPR's come [8D]
