Slide slop!!! :hehe: Now THAT is custom!!! Considering the lack of a gear cover on most of the nitros (which I STILL can't figure out) I think it's a great idea!!! :thumbs-up:
@cbaker65. You've Def built a couple 'can't be done' monsters for sure! I've got to give you credit on your ability to keep them driving straight for sure! :thumbs-up: :hehe:
Bummer!!! Sorry to hear there wasn't a save there for you. (i would imagine the answer is out there but if you already have another engine, go for it!) Was there ANY evidence of a leak at the bearing somewhere?
The smaller tank will just shorten your run time between fills. So long as it's not tiny, you'll be good to go! ( not at all familiar with the mbx6t tank) The longer wheel base will make your rig more stable over all. A wise conversion imo.
The poor seal in the exhaust could have a drastic...
I'm jealous! I would have loved to take that trip! :hehe: By the sounds of it, the stripped screws were likely the source of your original issue... I'm sure the upgrade will make you happy for years to come tho. Well worth the investment as I've heard. I plan on using that system on my...
Ok cool. Just thinking maybe it could have saved you some drama. Seems nothing is ever easy! :hehe: Hope to see some pics or even better, some vids of it running soon!
@rock-rod Where it is difficult to get the parts, have to tried to submerge the tank in water? With a hose on one tap, blocking the others and blow into the hose... See if it's just leaking thru the filler hole seal? Maybe a new seal would be easier to get. Def easier than retrofitting another...
That's the same thing the gt's and the Maxx's had... Not all of them in either case as I understand but enough so that the 'loop' trick was used very often either way.
Oh... Yeah, you could try putting a loop in the fuel line near the fuel tank. That is a kind of old school truck used in the rc10gt, tmaxx and a couple others. I forgot all about that! Basically you tie wrap the fuel pressure line to itself putting a 1" Or so "ring" or "O" in the line from the...
Lmao! Well, glad it was something simple anyways! As far as the brakes go, check over everything and make sure things are right where they should be, move where they should as well... Do they brakes change sensitivity as you use the truck more? Sometimes the brakes hang up a little and as the...
I would check the orings first. You may also need to go thru and seal the engine itself. It Def sounds like you've got a small leak which is why it is only happening at the mid and high rpms right now. Given time, it would likely expand to cover the whole rpm band.
I'm not really sure. I guess go with what feels right. Just make sure that whatever tools you are using are quality and in good shape. I have run into poor quality hardware before and that may be your issue but if your tools are not in good shape and good quality, it makes no difference what...
