Kemo

the best advice is NOT to go aluminum. RPM is a better deal, lifetime warranty, lighter, cheaper.

TNTJake

I'm looking for some of them Too,

Those RPMs Cost way to much.

TNTJake

My bad I was thinking of skidplates. The brand was not even RPM!!!
I'm realy realy scater brained I guess. Were can I find these Rpm Boxes?? Also my friend has a sportmaxx{a 2wd tmaxx}And it's receiver case will work, with some drilling or couse[>:] He he he!!! but the battery box won't work, it's too long.Any Ideas????

PS does your MAGIC WHEEL'S receiver and battery boxes break a lot????

LJ NITRO

My Feedback: (2)

from what i know RPM don't make boxes. and T-Maxx, SportMaxx, And S-Maxx are identical. everything interchanges

TNTJake

Once more My Bad,

So you ment skidplates???

curtisMAXX

Integy makes an aluminum reciever case along with a lot of other stuff, here is a link that has tons of different companies that make aluminum maxx parts.

Hey, I have a Magic Wheel too and I just got a Integy Aluminum front skid on it with no problems or modifications - looks sweeeet!

TNTJake

Has anyone put an OS .18 in there magic wheel???

Thanks

Hi all, new here. I made the mistake of buying one of the smartech magicwheels. But untill it breaks it is what it is. I've put the o.s. 18 cv in it and it moves along preety darn good. Must say that is one easy motor to tune compared to the pos that comes in the truck stock. Other things I've done are custom bumpers, rollcage aluminum shock towers,Ths 1040 header with a 1045 pipe, and piggy back shocks. My plans are to thrash it and replace the junk that breaks with aftermarket stuff. By the time I'm done with it, it will be a nice unit and nothing on it will be smartech.

TNTJake

Did you have to mess with anything to put in the OS???
What kind of roll cage did you get???

Thanks you

rawilky

[link=http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6032848348&ssPageName=MERC_VIC_ReBay_Pr4_PcY_BIN_IT]this is the cage I've got coming.[/link] With the O.S. I had to get the t-maxx clutch and simply reverse the engine mount. If you want a pic I'll try and post it for ya. Put them up anyway

rawilky

I forgot to mention that I did try to use the stock tmaxx engine mount, but it put the engine too far back to get a decent mesh with the cb and spur gear. Plan on useing it when I upgrade the chassis.

TNTJake

So you just reverse the stock engine mount??? and get a t maxx clutch???
could you post me A Pic please????? what Model of OS did you get???
And were did you get from??? and would the stock exhaust work or did you have to replace it??
And if you don't mind could you tell me how much it cost to get the header and pipe???


Thank you so much for your help!!!!

TNTJake

Oh,
I forgot to ask if you don't mind could you tell m how much the motor cost too????

PS do you know how to tune a pipe??? I sure don't!!!!!

Thanks again

rawilky

[link=http://www.greathobbies.com/products/productinfo.php?prod_id=OSM18CVRSX]This is the motor and the price I paid.[/link] Got the clutch of of ebay for 15$ us. the stock pipe would work but it won't be the best. The 18 is a semi big block and needs a better set up than the stocker to run to it's full potential. To fit it it's just a matter of fliping the mount. The pipe header combo i got off ebay to. paid 26$ us for them. The only other thing you need is [link=http://cgi.ebay.com/Traxxas-Clutch-Adapter-Nut_W0QQitemZ6034090232QQcategoryZ44028QQcmdZViewI tem]one of these.[/link] It makes the clutch for the 2.5 tmaxx work with the short shaft os engine.

did the pics I put up not work?

Airpressure

You don't tune pipes. If it says it is a tuned pipe it means it is designed for a certain engine

TNTJake

The pics worked.
I just was not clear on witch mount to reverse.You got A revo clutch AND flywheel off of ebay???
Did you "TUNE" your pipe???If you did, can you tell me how??? By the way awsome Truck!!!
were did you get the shocks from???

Thanks again

TNTJake

My bad,
I did not see Airpressure's messege about tuned pipes.

Thanks Airpressure!!!!!!

The tooth count is 20. That other clutch would work but 16 teeth would take alot of topend away. And yes it is the engine mount that you would turn around. That or just get an adjustable mount and be done with it.

TNTJake

How many teeth does the stock clutch have???

Thanks

rawilky

20

TNTJake

Okay then,
I think your right, 20 is the way to go. were did you get those awsome shocks?

Thanks for your help.

TNTJake

I can't find a pipe or header.Was you pipe for an OS??
The closest I could come is an OS pipe header for $150.00!!!!!!
TOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!

Thanks

TNTJake

I found the pipe.It was $36 insted of $26.
Here is a link>>>>> http://cgi.ebay.com/THS-Racing-Tuned...ayphotohosting

Is that the right one???

Also were did you get the screws to attatch the header to the engine block??

Thanks
