hey guys i thought id just post some pics on the current parts i have in the works for our truck. if anyone wants to buy any of the items let me know. ill get you a cost and we can work something out. ill sell the first batch of things cheap since its still a prototype. Anyways right now i have aluminum vented brake disks and a much stronger front brace to replace the tie rod.

ericem

I would definitely go for the brace as that is really the only thing I can think off. PM me a price.

Hi misasi,


I'm interested in the brace too. Please PM me for 2 but I live in Malaysia.

Nice Anthony! It's Jason, when you get one of those braces made up I would love to be a co-tester

P.S We may have to team up and design a Brushless kit, im getting quite good at autoCad, and from the looks of it....so are you!

misasi

Hey. Adam has the CNC and he said he can do the parts. I am just waiting for him to reply so i can get some of these parts test fitted. Oh and remind me to take some measurements of your ext wing mount so i can make an aluminum one. That way the heavier aluminum will balance out the heavy front end a bit.

hey guys i think my center diff is blown.... I put gears from my old diff and it still spins but not going anywhere..... could i be my rear/front diffs????

The Hedgehog

Let me know how much for the front brace, that would be a great upgrade.

ericem

check pins, most likely a drive cup set screw for the front or rear diff came out. If you watch the shafts while you accel you will see which one isn't spinning and which is.....

madmax22

k thanks ericem i havent had a second to look at it pretty busy with school crap and what not

Is anyone running an LRP Z.28 with the pull start? If so how did you mount it? I used some spacers on under the mounts but I was looking for something more stable.
Thanks

madmax22

I think the nosram is the same engine and Itchy bum has/had one or 2 of them and liked them very much. i'd grab one or get a go tech 7 port .21 engine...

KeithjV

Thanks max. I already have the LRP. I have it mounted but I was just curious to see if anyone had a better way to mount it.

madmax22

yea he said he had to use some spacers under it to.

ItchyBum

I had some spare engine mounts so i cut one in half as evenly as i could and put a half on each side between the engine and the full mount. This worked perfect for me and i never had a single problem. This way looks the best to i think because it looks exactly the same but just with a bit longer engine mounts. I posted a pic somewhere back in the pages when i first put my PRO kit together

KeithjV

itchy any chance of a repost of the picture? I couldnt find it.

dragon2k2

beenbreto

Hey guys I to have the ST1 and I love it. I bought the RTR of it and been up grading it. Jammin Big bore shocks, Carbin fiber towers, trays etc.. (hopefully a brace made by misasi ) i was wondering if there were any other ways to make the truck a little lighter like is there a lightend boddy? Any tips help guys thanks alot guys

bce chassis conversion

ericem

The body as is, is pretty damn thin and light. I would say wheels but they are pretty light to!! The truck in general is very light. Only thing that really makes it lighter in a good way is a new motor. Stock motor is HEAVY!

ericem

It's fine, just tune it as best you can. The driver is what counts most. IMO i don't care what any one else thinks.

calvino

lol, if X was able to get into the top 3 with a "missing" shock on his truck, its some skill , hum, decision time, this will probabaly be like the only time i am able to race the truck, so is it "worth" it to get new tires, hum, i mostly run on-road for now, may make a track at a field but we will see about that [>:], decisions decisions, how long is the average "nitro main" at the club level, 30 mins... i know qual is like, 5 mins, should check an OLD paper article....

The Hedgehog

Bottom line is this, I romp on Kyosho ST-RR's, Losi's, and Jammin's and always place second at my track if nothing goes wrong (like a shock popping off). So it can be done. The only problem is it takes more skill to drive this well. Put me in another truggy and my lap times drop a good amount.

It was the perfect truggy to get me into racing, now I am looking to upgrade to the new RC8T most likely.


Calvino, it really depends. Some tracks around me are as little as 5 minute mains because people don't want to pit. 10-15 seems to be a normal average amount, molst people do not want to be racing for 30 minutes, trust me it gets tiring.

calvino

ill bet, i can't remember how long the mains were on this track, hope the marshalls had their cup of coffee..... [>:] ya, can't wait to try out the new servo, should get a new wing also, anyone know if a Dynomite 007 will work with my engine, friend MAYBE will loan it to me since its way to much for his sirio 23

KeithjV

I lost the pin from my hub today and my wheel came flying off. Anyone know what I can use in place? or what size the stock pins are?
Thanks
