TM/TZ engine spacers from RD Racing... - satoch - 10-06-2005

Well I just put in the little spacer Roy at RD Racing gave me. I took my truck to the park for a test run. No noticable increased engine vibration. (During assembly lost one of those damned little spring things that hold in the wristpin though!! Poinggggg.....)

I did, however, break one of his "indestructible" 8mm Revo stub axles in about 3-4 mins. I called him immediately. He's getting me more by Sat. but couldn't believe it broke. I couldn't either. I was just running on the grass with some 9" high bumps. With the 17t/36t gearing and a standard ratio tranny this thing is beyond insanely fast, but I was probably only doing about 46-47mph when I got a bad hop off a jump and the left rear tire flew off. It's always the rear stub axles that break. I'm hoping it's just a fluke.

I was doing 12' high backflips off the big jump in Dallas with Roy and Craig and I didn't break a stock stub. Those guys already had the 8mms installed and didn't break one either. Wierd.

Still looks as good as the day i took the engine out of the box. Compression is really tight and everything looks brand new internally. The spacer works.
