So who burned some nitro today?

I just came back from a nice drive with the T2M serie 5000 and the CEN SP1 GP. The T2M handles absolutely awesome, very realistic. It's like I'm driving a 1/5 FG MT lol.
The CEN sure handles a lot better as well after what I've done: put the battery all in the back and move the servo and receiver to the back. It's powered by a protech .12 so I'm at WOT almost all the time but nothing seems hot👍
I think I'll edit the videos of yesterday and today together and publish them on YT

Edit: forgot to mention the T2M's flywheel came loose after half a tank so it didn't run long but I had a great time when it did. No big deal as well, I fixed it already and added some red loctite
 
Burned 300mL yesterday with the schumacher rascal 1/16 nitro and the "repaired" T2M serie 5000.
Seems I fixed the flywheel problem, but then something happened the same to both cars: when giving throttle I hear it rev but doesn't move forward...💀
Very sure I ruined the diff of the T2M but after just taking it apart I realise the friction-held hex hub was just spinning. I'll tighten that up again, now with some loctite.
The schumacher seemed to have lost a dog bone but I found it after "some" searching🤣 A pin just fell out. I used new 2mm metal rod and used, guess what, loctite🤣 it works now. I love how, no matter what, this engine will not stall. The tune can be anything yet this X18 will idle till it sucks in the entire fuel tank within 5 minutes.
No wonder this all happened though, I "used" them quite hard

Today I'll test both cars again👍
Edit: nevermind today I'll run the CEN and savage. Realised I'd rather give the loctite some time first

I'm just on vacation so this thread is becoming my daily spam hahah

As planned I took the savage and CEN SP1 GP. Did the CEN first but the throttle/break servo gave up on me after 2 tanks. The savage beast you know made sure to get rid of the remaining fuel🤣 I'll edit today's and yesterday's videos as well
 
Literally just came back from running the T2M and Schumacher... Very glad I fixed the "dogbone" of the schumacher, it runs perfectly now👍
The T2M serie 5000 after the "fix" though... AMAZING!! Most agressive sounding RC I have for sure. Crowd loves it as well
Edit: the video sadly doesn't give it off but if you ever ran nitro where exhaust partly fell off, you know🤣

Oh yeah she’s feeling it. Track is super packed with a wicked dusted groove. Some pretty blown out spots too. So it’s a rough ride. Those Phillips are gonna be a lot of fun to get out.
