Went there first olds97_less but thanks for checking. So it looks like I'll be building something else while I'm sick and shut in..
 
I didn't think of that, got a pic?
Cutting edge stuff here. :)

It's literally a hanger. Or was.
 
Converted the crusher to the crushler mamba powered beast also used some baja front shocks and proline baja beadlocks with hostile rubbers no more tires blowing of the rims had a blast this summer with it :drinkcoffee:
 
Put an 18T bell on it instead of the 17T. Might actually take it outside if there isn't rain this weekend. Haven't driven it in a few months at least.
 
Cleaned it up, filled with fuel and went to start it and my previously repaired nitro start shaft broke again. Welded it back together then went to start it and the OWB was just spinning. Pulled engine out stripped it and found one of the grub screws had came out. Put it back in with some thread lock, reassembled and tried to start it.

Turning over fine this time but wouldn't fire. Took out plug to find no glow. Tried a new plug, no glow either. After a few swear words I packed up and went home. Put the glow igniter on charge!

Not a good day. :(:(:banghead::banghead::DOH::crying-large::withstupid::withstupid:

Made it outside! YAY!

Ran about 750cc's of fuel through it and snapped the rear center cvd pin again. 3rd time since I installed this engine (LRP30 Spec2). Seemed to have broken/fallen out while I was running at a decent speed. Got around a gallon through the engine and it's just getting better and better. Came hope and replaced the cvd with a new dogbone and cup I had in my parts box. Then ARO'd the engine for the winter probably.

Thing wheelies whenever I want. Running 18/47... not sure if I can find a smaller spur. Might have enough room for a 19T bell in there. It's pretty fast now, but the 30 doesn't have the RPM's of the LRP 28. Makes up for it with brute torque though.

LRP'S love the cold love running in the snow :ercm::drinkcoffee:
 
Spent 1.5 hours trying to start the damn thing! It was running ok yesterday but today was a different story! :(
 
Put new ceramic slipper in the XL and the 25. Almost have the 25 finally put back together after upgrading to dual red fiber brakes. Ran my XS a little bit. Hopefully going to seal some engines next weekend . Oh and put the Savox 1230sg in the XL with 500 oz of torque.
 
I ran 3 tanks through lrp .30. Held it wide open as much as I could trying to blow it up :nailbite:. The air temp. was low 50's and engine was making serious power. Fun times!
 
Finally it's alive & oh how sweet the sound... O'Donnell has a unique smell, any way ran two tanks through the old girl this evening. Thanks goes out to Jam Racing 1 for suggesting a medium glow plug. I am using a O.S. LC4 for break in, temps during the two tanks stayed under 185 deg F.

Nice rig @JVT73 what pipe are you if you don't mind me asking
 
HPI Ribbed Tuned Pipe part#86188. I believe HPI has discontinued it but, you can usually find someone on eBay selling it. It is a loud pipe!
Nice I haven't seen one like that. I'm thinking off getting the jammin jp-3 hopefully it's a great pipe.
 
Getting there just got to make something to mount my ESC and receiver on. Then battery choice wow what to go with.

THis is why it's nice to have an AA heater. Then you can carry a few high capacity NiMH AA's around with you.

Put another exhaust on my XL. Yea I know it's dirty lol.


Count down until the destruction of that exhaust starts.....now!

One landing on the rear bumper could take it out.
 
You know ... I really didn't think about that ... I'll run it for a bit and probably Switch back...really just tinkering around.
