Been on a track once. 5 cell battery. Losi oil shocks.

As some of you may have read, I am trying to adapt the axle from the revo to the t-maxx. This may not have crossed some of your minds but I tend to get bored and am constantly looking for something new and challenging to do.
Although it may not be that challenging after all. I am a short while away from installing my first one and I did have to do some dremel work and I may have to do some lathe work but I do not think too much. I will tell you one thing, these axles are HUGE compared to the stock t-maxx ones. Clearance is not an issue in the A-arms or between the shocks its just using some old t-maxx hardware and adapting that to the new axle. I will post some pics as soon as I get the first one done (as all I have is one revo axle anyways )

Thanks to everyone for what had to be one of the best
days of RC I've ever had. I enjoyed meeting everyone.
Berwyn is awesome!!!

Can't wait until next time!!!

ok I lost a Red D cell igniter at RSJ. Towshen was using it to start his maxx when we were trying to tune it. If anyone has it or has seen it, please LMK asap

I have done it now. I saw this and thought it had a lot of potential, either as a strip down/sell off or a keeper and sell my T-maxx. Let me know what you all think. The only thing is, does anyone have a bump starter or know how to make one. I read how to do it and I can't remember how.













I just purchased this off ebay. It has a OS .21 RZ motor, Rix Gear chassis (buggy like, two layer), Airtronics M8 (new) radio, which was the only reason I bought the whole truck, CVD's all around, aluminium A-arms and a lot of other goodies that are on it including new 40 series Big Joes. Take a guess on how much I got if for and what you think its worth. I may end up parting it out if I do not like the truck when I get it but we'll see. I am keeping the radio regardless if I keep it or part it out.

I just switched to the 20% o'donnells and now I am having tuning issues. First off it does not smell as nice and trinity fuel but...........ok. Now I am having troubles getting above the 200F mark. This could be good but its giving me a headache. I try to lean out my lsn to get the proper take-offs and tuning, but I have to have it really lean to get it above 200F. So lean that the motor rev's up shortly after releasing the throttle and the rpm's really start to climb at idle. Then I take off and as soon as I let it off it dies because of the idle not catching up to the falling RPM's, so I set the idle higher but then it lurches. If I richen it up, I do not get the best take-offs but it tends to run smoother at idle and low speeds. I do multiple high speed passes and the temps are staying really low. Do you just keep leaning it out to get in the temp range or what, cause its really leaner settings then my trinity fuel by far. My trinity ran at 230-250 all day. Oh yeah I just installed a MC-59 plug too. Seems like it does not like that plug and gives me some issues starting and dieing as soon as I let off the starter button. What do you all think.

What are you getting?

If you had a choice of any of the newest 1/10 or 1/8 vehicles released lately which would you choose? Not necessarily getting rid of what we already have, but something different or similar to add to the collection.

Personally it would either be a Kanai 3 or a Cen Genesis. Now the genesis is a little overkill and I know it will not be that formidable racer but c'mon look at it 5hp and 17lbs, its a beast . Oh and the Kanai speaks for itself.

Here's a link to a photo resizing program I found. It is a very helpful program, because you can resize a complete folder full of photos at one time, and re-store them to a different folder for posting on forums.
