Well guys.....I just wanted to thank everyone for all the help. The LD3 is ALIVE and running beautifully. After a few more tweeks and 4 more tanks it starts in three pulls every time (as long as my glow igniter is charged):doh: Well i guess everyone was a newbie at some point, right? :D

I had it out around the parking lot during lunch at work today. I can't beleive the accelleration! I will be thanking the nitro gods for bringing the LD3 into my life tonight for sure. :bow: :bow: :bow:

Only problem is I pitched the drive shaft! I was doing flybyes and made a very bad steering error at top speed right into my ankle. Thankfully I was wearing work boots today but the aluminum frame is bent and the drive shaft is nowhere to be found. I'm sure i can get the frame pretty straight again but it looks like its going to be Rear Wheel drive only until I can find a new drive shaft.

So far I can't find ANY replacment parts but I'm on the hunt. Called my LHS where I bought it and was told he would have to special order it. If any of you can find someplace on the web where I may find LD3 parts I would be very appreciative.

Ouch. I've done that, only wearing friggin sandles. Top-speed on the 4-tec with the OS... Not fun, it actually took me to the ground, and left one helluva scar.

No clue on the parts though, is'nt that the brand new one?
