aftermarket parts for the NTC3

[Nitroaddict]

i know, but i dont really get what u are asking. r u asking how u mesh the gears in the diffs? the ones that attach to the diff, and the drive shaft?

 

[kwong2001]

something like that...i'll look in my manual and figure out what i'm talking about..haha...I just dunno the names of all the lil parts

 

[Nitroaddict]

if its the diff mesh, then they should automatically fall into place, as the diffs will hold the shafts exactly where they should be due to the housing

 

[kwong2001]

there's some really thin washer type thingies that you have to use on the diff....i didn't use them for like 3 months and blew the diff gear all the time...now it's all good...

those little washer type thingies are called shims....now you know and knowing is half the batte......GO JOE

i did know the name...just wasn't coming to my head...hehe...i used to watch g.i. joes all the time...i got some video that my dad gave me of them...it's like a 2 episode thing that he got for free

I still have my g.i. joes...and every now and then I play with them..haha...and i'm 19...oooohh, and i'm not afraid to be a kid again

mani wish i still had my gi joes! i used to cut out lil parachutes from plastic baggies, and run string through them, attach it to the figures, then throw them up in the air, and they would parachute down. anyone else do this? anyone? lol. i used to set them on fire alot too, i was a weird kid.

ok this might be a stupid question, but does any one have the Rally conversion kit on their NTC3? or does anyone know if it is any good, and will it fit on an RTR?????

Another thing, does the 2 speed, fit on an rtr???????? I really want one, but i dont know if it fits....

Zoomer - a thread about this was started a little while ago. At this time, there is not a rally kit available for the NTC3. However, I do think that it could be done on your own. If you remove the droop completely from the a-arms, and replace the shocks with ones that are about 1 inch higher, it should give u adaquate shock travel for dirt roads. Just an idea.

oops - i forgot - yes, the 2 speed will fit on a RTR, that is what it was made for, the kit already has it standard.

everyone has said that, but there is a conversion kit to rally, it is made by Team associated, here is the link

check that out, it is, i just dont know if it will fit my car

 

[Nitroaddict]

wow, look at that, its the same thing i told u to build, only as a direct bolt on, lol. To answer your question, yes it will fit, however, it is designed to be used with the electric version onf the TC3. This proposes two seperate problems. 1 - the tc3 is 190mm, and the ntc3 is 200mm wide, so the replacement a arms will be useless. 2 - the cvd's that are included are composite, not alloy, so i highly doubt that plastic driveshafts will hold up to the power of a nitro engine. other than that, it seems okay, i know it will fit, as the tc3 and the ntc3 are the same car. For only 54 bucks, i would get it anyway, just to try it out, man thats cheap.
