I just have a few questions in this thread. I'll number them so they are easier to respond to

1. Can I plug up any of the 4 holes on my rear rd logics pipe to give it the same amount of compresion as my stock pipe? I paid 50 bucks for it so why not try and use it.

3. How long is the antenna wire supposed to be? It got cut short in a crash and I wanna solder a new one in and cut it to size

try and answer as many questions as you can. Thanks

EDIT: I deleted a few things cuz I figured em out and I added a question

well i have seen abunch of guys on youtube plug the two inner holes on the pipes so they could get the back pressure. someone correct me if i am wrong.

in number 6 i think you are referring to the flywheel.

The flywheel is on the engine. It's tie rods (#6). Get a proline runtime tank, it has a filter inside, holds more, and is way more reliable. Just be careful putting it on. If you use too long of a screw you'll crack it and have a leak.

Get an antenna tube, and that thing probably is from your tranny. Look up the exploded views on traxxas.com.
 
Yea it's from my tranny -.- I'll have to take it all apart again.

I do have an antenna rod. It's just annoying as hell
 
It's not that it's annoying to put on, that's fairly easy. I just hate worrying about it when I flip since it already got cut short and it's annoying having to feed it through the body every time
 
fuel line about 3 inches long works great! my tmaxx doesn't have the ant. nut so i took a peice of fuel line and slid it all the way down with some slack in the reciver cover and it bends easy but doesn't pull the wire out the reciver

And that doesn't kill your reciever range? What do you do with the slack wire?Just wrap it around to the bottom and secure it with something?
 
i have a ant straw on mine too so i took and wrapped the extra wire around the straw and put another peice of fuel line around it to securre it to the straw. i can post pics if you'd like. i have the same range as i did before
 
I just put a longer tube on mine from an RC Airplane, Then cut it down to size I like the big antenna look .
 
Ok. Well now I just have 2 questions left. Can I plug up any holes in my rd logics pipe to get the right amount of compression and how long is the antenna wire supposed to be?
