You can also run the xtm pipe.I have them on both my trucks and like them a lot.I was running the losi sport pipe and think the xtm does a better job.I don't race but use 10k in front and back difs and find a vast improvement over stock.I know some are running 30k up front and 10k in the rear and find it good.

Hey guys i have a question.

I use omega sidewinder 20% nitro. while reading the back it said to NOT use after run oil because it already has something in it. What should i do?

Thanks in advance[8D]

http://www.greathobbies.com/producti...od_id=ASC21141 will these work for shimming my differentials on my mgt?

Also, what would be a good fluid (front / rear) for mostly bashing?

thanks![8D]

I already looked at that, i was just wondering if these would fit, as you can see theres no size. i was just going by the "RC18T"
so thought it might be similar. i dont really want to order from the us (PITA)!!

thanks though[8D]

hey snaut, if your bashing the 8 copper springs will be ok, your truck will be very bouncy and want to flip when turning alot, if u want it to not bottom out then thicker oil is the choice, if your racing, forget about the copper springs, 8 of them and u will be flipping and tumbling and bouncing all over the track, best setup for racing is all red springs, i found for light bashing that 1 blue and 1 copper on each corner worked well, even when WOTing of my ramp

You'll have to grind a little off the bottom of the header so it clears the PS housing (takes about 2 minutes with a Dremel), other than that, it fits fine..

The lip on the header has to be ground a little either way.. he bent the header so the pipe/header combo would fit inside the mudguard.

yes they do bud...I had to do it recently. Use a crescent wrench and snug it up on the six sided nut like portion of the piston and then firmly but gently twist the top.
