Just got a NTC3+

I was looking into other threads and one thing i saw was that most of you guys recommended the failsafe as a first mod. But other than that what other mods have a good balance between engine life and performance.

I say a good filter. I put motorsavers on my car and noticed a big diffrence. also after-run oil will help with motor life. also keep the piston on bdc when you let the motor cool off or are done for the day.

anyway to tell if it's at BDC without having to take the glow plugs out? Also do they make a tool kit specificly for these cars?

 

[Skyline Racer]

yes theres a way
first you move the flywheel by hand until it pops a rotation, then after it pops, dont move the flywheel again.

and I'm not sure about the tool kit. later and congrats on a sick car :thumbsup:

I was thinking of upgrading to an FM transmitter and reciever. Do I also have to change the servos along with the reciever/transmitter?

 

[bOOm]

No, but new servos should be an upgrade along the way. The stocks are niether the fastest nor the strongest. They should be fine for awhile. Enjoy your new purchase.

 

[ohn0itsnate]

what brand of fm radio do you guys recommend?

 

[Diver6127]

JR XS3 or XS3 Pro. I use the regular XS3, my brother uses the pro version. Only difference is that the Pro is good for up to 10 models as opposed to the 6 model memory and the pro has a neoprene grip cover.

the xs3 models have lots of adjustability: linear or exponential servo adjustments; epa, lap counter; you can also get rid of the "dead spot" in throttle response

 

[bOOm]

I have the pro model and I love it, only downside is the price of the recivers for multiple cars. $70 a piece.

Another way to set the piston at BDC:

I remove the glow plug, visually confirm the piston is at BDC, and then mark the flywheel with a Sharpie through the access opening in the deck. This way, I can quickly rotate the flywheel so the mark is in the center of the opening when I'm done...

do you have a glow glug wrench? you ask for a special tool and want to make it BDC without taking the plug out i conclude to ask if you have a G/P wrench.
