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...
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...
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.
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...
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.
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...
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...
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?
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...
