got my new radio today (thx Zippy)..........and i got my tires from Rocco (thx man).....i still need to get my engine/JP-3pipe,TTR starterbox, temp gun, and a few other odds and ends. I have a yellow Proline HD wing coming tomorrow that should look a lot better, A red grip set for my ex10 coming soon. I just won for $31 shipped a prospec ackerman, cf top plate and servo saver assembly on Ebay. I will be getting a Proline CP 2.0 for Mike to paint soon.Its coming together slowly but surely, it takes a lot of $ to even put a small track worthy rig together, lmaoWink

The 1015 is the [email protected] right? That would be great for steering.

I have a 1313 for throttle

Hello all, nice mugen pwnzor!!! I just got mine about 5-6 weeks ago been driving it more a lot more these last few days since the weather has been nice. This truck is a blast to drive. I had a revo and could not get that truck to ever do what I wanted. After a few hr's of practice I'm able to control the truck better than any rc truck I ever drove before. I let me 8 yr old son drive the truck recently and he is able to control it and have fun too. She a strong truck too. Most of my LIMITED knowledge about RC trucks comes from my bro sh1nn3r. He was a great help getting me this truck and making it perfect. I hope in the future I can contribute more to the thread as my own knowledge grows... Peace Abusive...

Finally ran my MBX5T today at Busse woods just to adjust the steering. Picco is working perfect and this thing is really fast. Takes off like a rocket and stops on a dime. I'm using TTR fiber brake discs since I had a new set laying around. I am planning on going to the track thursday and maybe race this sunday.

It doesnt need anything. Just the pads need to be changed. Some dont use the pads. But I did and they are giving out now it seems. Besides,they are just disks. Not like I am droppin $100 on the thing lol

Are these the correct TTR brake discs?

http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info...ts_id/2546

Do you have to double-up the calipers when you use them?
