that was an OLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLD school trick for GT racing. those smaller motors can run with no pressure line just makes em a little harder to tune, actually makes more power tho. those look like mini inferno wheels

yeah I seen that and assumed that how you had built it I am in no need of a rec. pack like that AAA dont bother me on this lil thing, I did just lock my center diff and did some linkage fixing so my idle is perfect now  also put a piece of fuel tubing in the brake side to give it a little "feel" instead of a off/on brake. im thinking of getting that picco for it also. I took it to the local indoor track today and I think we are going to get a class for them started up had alot of interest and for $70.00 you cant go wrong with them, the stock tires wouldnt be that bad if they came with foams  I am debating on doing a little P&P on the stock sleeve to see if I can get any gains from this motor or just leave it alone

Oh forgot to say- I'm using an AE radio from an rc18t-it has alot more adjustments for throttle than the stock radio and it isn't as awkward feeling in your hand.

Matt i meant like, if you did lock the diff, that the plastic gears would just break up inside, i guess not.

Both out of graphite. Takes some flex out of the steering.
Took about 1/2 hr to make both.

It's graphite. I got it at leisure but it was just some scrap they had laying around.
Mike C said (master mac something or other) had some sample 10x10" sheets for sale at a reasonable price.

This is a fun little buggy. I have completed the radio swap, shock and rod change, shock tower change, steering brace, and sway bars f/r...as well as a new set of Kyosho Mini Inferno tires/rims. Still waiting on the throttle/brake linkage to allow me to drop in the PICCO P-0....when all is installed, I will post pics.

Did a little, and I mean very little, port work with a file and I have better bottom end for sure and maybe a little on top, not as noticeable as the bottom though.

I cant even get the damn thing started anymore. Its something with the tune but i dont know what. We did change the shock towers, and shocks to aluminum and it looks sweet but wont even start.
