you should of got rid of eletrice start so much easyier then the ez-start

 

[daywalker121800]

i use ez starts on all my trucks....the difference in weight makes up for not haveing to pull on a string with an ignitor.

Update: I kept stripping spur gears out, so I loosened all the screws and used lock tite on them then got a steel spur gear.....did a couple runs with it and it seemed ok. Besides that its been holding up very good....I still need to fix the problem with the steering..... I'm missing the little cylinder piece that goes between the bearings in the steering so it comes loose once and a while. I gotta get the pictures of it up, I just procrastinate too much

Update:

RPM front bumper, stickers, Revo tuned exhaust and the 3.3

Any comments let me know what you think.

Enjoy

I m pretty sure that it will push upwards of 75mph now with the 3.3 and the revo exhaust, with the 2.5r it went 65 so I'm just estimateing....I'm hopeing to clock it with a radar gun soon though..... I m designing a wheelie bar because even though I lengthened the frame 2 inches it still wheelies now. It didnt with the 2.5r in it though....that just shows you the difference in power. I'm planning on getting a new video up soon with to show the mods and the difference.

Oh and BTW, I know it looks pretty dumb with the wheels I have on it, but I need to replace the front bearing carriers and put 2.8 on it to match the rear....I actually like the size difference in it though....looks like the older hot rods that had bigger wheels in the rear.
