RE: Thunder tiger ST-1
Thunder Tiger, and Cen are prolly the 2 most durable truggies out there, and prolly the 2 most underrated. I've owned a Cen buggy, and I currently own TTR buggy and truggy, and I would give the edge in performance to the TTR's, as far as durability, TTR gets the nod also. Customer support would go to CEN, they prolly have the best in the biz right now. Overall, I will stick with TTR, and if you can readily get parts, go 4 it! I got lucky and got a whole lot of parts on ebay, so I'm set for a while, but honestly I haven't needed that many.
Here are some pics of them together. CEN Matrix and TTR ST-1 pro.

Yeah I really liked that body, but it's toast now, and now I'm runnin the green one on the previous page. I wish the TTR bodies were tougher, cause they look awesome.

Hey mustang5\21, try this link, its in Quebec, and its in french, but its pretty understadable, alot of words are english, and they have pretty good prices for Canada.
I've read that the Novarossi 28 is like the strongest truggy engine out there right now, but I couldn't tell you from experience. I do have a novarossi p5x .21 engine and it's a beast! Great low end, nice high revs, and good mid range too. What more coulc you ask for .lol

I've got a major air leak in the front bearing on the stock TTR 28. Anybody know of a good replacement sealed bearing. From the looks of it, I can't imagine how any of the stock front bearings don't leak.

RE: Thunder tiger ST-1
i am just wondering if i buy the extended rear wing mount, will it bolt direcly on to the body mount. or do i have to get the "wing mount" first and then get the "extended wing mount" i dont have a ttr yet but soon to come! i am talking about the st-1, not the S3. because in the stock pics it looks like it has a wing mount but i guess it just is the body mount. and is the regular "wing mount" just accually the body mount?
thanks

RE: Thunder tiger ST-1
Hey guys, another update, ST-1's rule!!! Another great day at the track, the only real competition was from an 8ight, and an rc8, both the same driver. I actaully went toe to toe with the RC8 for about 2 laps, and then I crashed out. The driver is one of the best around, and it was on his home track so he has quite a bit more time on it. Two weeks in a row without a problem, except a burnt clutch,(15 min fix) and I seem to have a gas tank leak on the nipple where the fuel line attaches, has this happened to anyone else?
Anyway we showed em today! leak and all. I outran the RC8 with a jammin 21, and I'm running an Axial 28 RR, anyone who says these engines are crap is crazy, it's one of the fastest engines at our track, including the Picco 28's! and I never ran over 250 deg.
I wish someone would take some video, then I could post these races. Everyone likes the pickup cab that I have on too, looks different from all the others. Next week we're going to be in the parade! gonna be cool, and it should give our local hobby a much needed boost. Well till the next update,
TTR power!!!!
