    MY IRC 1"+6mm LCG CHASSIS+MID TANK KIT+LST SHOCK BUILD

    Yeah, I still have some tweaking to do as far as tie rod length and suspension setup goes.

    MY IRC 1"+6mm LCG CHASSIS+MID TANK KIT+LST SHOCK BUILD

    Thanks guys. The receiver box is designed to work with the IRC chassis, but you can probably make it work with other TVP's as well. I doubt the stock receiver circuit board would fit in the box, but I'm not sure. I will add links to the 1st post. I mounted the rear shocks in front of the...

    MY IRC 1"+6mm LCG CHASSIS+MID TANK KIT+LST SHOCK BUILD

    Thanks. I think I might try my Big Joe's on this truck. The Mulchers look a little small.

    MY IRC 1"+6mm LCG CHASSIS+MID TANK KIT+LST SHOCK BUILD

    I came across a Savage X SS kit that was unfinished on Ebay back in the spring. It came with a bunch of pricey upgrades that I didn't want, so I sold all of that stuff and started collecting the parts that I did want. After selling all of the upgrades that came with the X SS kit, I basically got...

    Savys Build

    Nice build! Having the receiver outside the chassis scares me though. I don't think I would risk my $90 FASST receiver out there. I went with the IRC mid tank kit that includes a receiver box that fits under the tank.

    Vrooms midtank Savage build

    Thanks, but no need. I saw the "DB" on them so I figured they must be Dubro. I found them on Towers site after a little searching.

    Thanks! I will check that out.

    Air leak?

    I have been in this hobby for 15+ years and I have learned that a little patience goes a long way with nitro engines. I will find my Gremlin soon enough and then I will be able to see what this Nova 528xrp can really do! It seems like it's going to be a beast considering the power it makes while...

    Air leak?

    Yes. Brand new. What is with HPI and purple? I HATE purple! lol

    Air leak?

    I am having this same problem with my Nova 528xrp. I noticed the fit between the header and engine wasn't very tight when I installed it. Does anyone make a fatter header gasket than the HPI purple one? I will add some Copper RTV silicone to the engine to header joint for now.

    Where can I get the linkage rods that you used for your brake setup? A part # would be awesome. Thanks!

    Stock Pipe vs Ribbed Pipe vs Aluminum Tuned Pipe

    We could also add that none of these pipes will allow you to get the most out of your engine. The HPI pipes are all pretty good torque pipes, but they sacrifice top end somewhat. An OFNA or Dynamite 086 pipe will give you more top end while a BUKU pipe will give you the best of both worlds with...

    Stock Pipe vs Ribbed Pipe vs Aluminum Tuned Pipe

    Anyone running the ribbed pipe will see a pretty decent improvement in performance with the HPI polished pipe.

    Big Bore VS LST

    I just scored 4 LST XXL plastic shocks for $33 shipped to Canada. When everyone says the lst shocks are heavy, are they referring to the aluminum ones? The plastic ones can't be THAT heavy. I also ordered an Innovative RC LST shock mount kit for $42US, so the overall cost is still going to be...

    Axial 32RR

    I'm excited to see what kind of peak rpms this thing can crank out. It's also completely black, which would fit in nicely with my color scheme! lol. Does anyone know if a black crankcase improves or inhibits engine cooling?

    cen 7.7 pipe

    Yup. You can't really go wrong for $20. I got mine for $11, but I was the 1st one on the bandwagon! Ebay sellers should be paying me commission! lol

    cen 7.7 pipe

    I'm the guy who first tried the CEN pipe with the K5.9. I borrowed the pipe off my bosses GST 7.7 for testing and then bought my own on Ebay. It definitely helps keep temps down and if tuned right, it will provide good low end power. The proper low speed needle setting can be a bit elusive on...

    Stock Pipe vs Ribbed Pipe vs Aluminum Tuned Pipe

    The ribbed pipe is garbage. You will not get any top end with it. The HPI polished is far better.
