If i had an air leak, wouldnt the tune be going nuts? its seems to be running very strong, no bogging or studdering.
i'll take a look.

If it was an air leak, it'd be nearly impossible to tune, and over heat.. I'd mess with the low speed needle 1st.

Go out and get a titinium drill bit and cut it to size and use that I think 3/32 is the size that fits they last forever.

Has anyone had any problems with RRP? In particular, the slipper kit. I recently got one and personally I think they are crap. Maybe it was just that one. Anyway, I got it assembled exactly the way the direction say, even super glued the pads on. In the middle of the third run, the gear flies off the hub and is gone. No sign of the gear or the screws that were lock tighted in. But it gets better. The thing that really got me pissed off was when I called RRP to see if there was any kind of warranty. The guy flat out accused me of trying to get frre parts. He said that there was no way possible that what I had described could have happened and that I was just out trying to get good parts for free. Just a warning to all of you guys. They may be good parts for the most part but I am one that will never buy that brand again.

i love them, evader------>MGT had 1 of the steel spurs crack, he rang them up and they replaced the whole assembly free of charge, he said they had great customer service

Also i love the spur, u dont use blue locktight, u gotto think mate, that spur is spinning 100s of times a minute, u need to use red locktight on them screws, otherwise like u found out, u can say goodby to the spur, also a larger headed screw works wonders as well.

So far mine has taken over 5 gallons of abuse and everything still looks like brand new, im very happy with there product

I used the red loctite and changed the screws because i couldn't find the right allen wrench for the screws that came with it. As for the customer service, Evader must had talked to someone else, because the guy I talked to was a complete azzwhole from the start.

I still have the envolope the RRP replacement came in next to me It's on top of the priner about 1' from me...

They told me to send in my spur, and when I did, they sent me a new one. Perhaps b/c you don't have the other parts, they can't get you a new one.[]

That looks awesome! You should send it into RCCA's "Reader Rides" and tell them the story behind it. It would definitely get published! Nice work!

Tell your brother-in-law we ALL say THANKS and good luck and stay safe and enjoy the MGT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
