    Why is my motor constantly running at 300 degrees

    well, I didn't mention earlier but I cut a hole the size of a half dollar coin in the windshield before the run yesterday. But, I do think the temps stay down when the body is off. I will check this during my next run. Also, I have the K4.6. Do you guys think I should change fuels?

    Why is my motor constantly running at 300 degrees

    Lets see. I'm using a duratrax temp gun. Trinity Monster 20% fuel. I guess I don't know how hard I'm running it because I have never bashed with anybody else so I have nothing to compare. I just hit small jumps and stuff. WOT every now and again but definitely not every run. As for the body, how...

    FLM mid tank mod is AWESOME!!!!!

    I just got the FLM mid tank done with an OFNA 250cc tank. Today was the first time firing up the truck for the season. Half tank lean is definitely a thing of the past. And as for run times. WOW. I wasnt paying attention to the clock but Id say at least a half hour. I just wanted to give a...

    Help! Servos aren't working when hump pack is plugged in

    Hey, I flipped all servo plugs in the Rx and got the same results. I made sure the Rx and Tx were on the same frequency. I also looked thru my manual but couldn't find anything that talked about "syncing" my tx and rx. There was an option to reset the rx setting back to default, so I did that...

    Hitec Aggressor SRX 3-Channel FM

    I'm looking for a new radio system. If you've been reading my posts, Ive been having so much trouble with my Futaba 3PM-FS that I am giving up and looking for a new system. RCplanet.com has the Hitec Aggressor SRX 3CH FM and it comes with the HS-645MG servo. I need to upgrade my servos anyway. I...

    Video of servos not working... Please help

    Ya this is the only system I have used. It worked just fine the last time I used the truck with the stock tank set up which was Nov 2008. I disconnected everything over the winter and then did the mid tank mod this March. Now nothing works.

    Video of servos not working... Please help

    Here is my transmitter. http://www.futaba-rc.com/radios/futk2121.html Neither the receiver or the transmitter use a crystal. Ok I did what you said. I turned my Tx on, and then plugged my battery pack directly into the Rx. Same exact response and the video. Throttle twitch and then...

    Video of servos not working... Please help

    This is my receiver. Now, if I replace the receiver, do I need to replace it with the exact same receiver, or can I replace it with a different, less expensive one? I just don't know if receivers are universal? Or do you need the exact same one in order to work with the radio?

    Help! Servos aren't working when hump pack is plugged in

    The AA battery pack has brand new AAs in it. And the hump pack is fully charged. I'm not sure if the servos have Futaba J plugs but the servos and radio and receiver are all the same as last year and everything worked fine at that time. I played around a little with the truck today and I am...

    Help! Servos aren't working when hump pack is plugged in

    I guess explain to me what you mean by plugging in the servo wires backwards. The wire comes out of the servo and plugs into the receiver, so how can you plug it in backwards?

    Help! Servos aren't working when hump pack is plugged in

    Well, I have the same gear now as last year and it all worked just fine a few months ago before winter. I just wonder why the servos don't react when the power switch is turned on, except for the throttle servo twitching when the switch is turned on. And if everything plugs in correctly...

    Help! Servos aren't working when hump pack is plugged in

    Ok so I just got done doing a FLM mid tank with a 250cc tank. I also replaced the AA batterys with a hump pack (2600 MaH from www.onlybatterypacks.com). I charged the pack and plugged it in. Turned the switch on and nothing happened. I turned it off and back on again and my throttle servo gave a...

    FLM motor mount?

    Well, I got myself a dremel today and cut a notch in the hex screw for a flat head driver and it worked beautifully! All I have left now is the ofna throttle/brake, rpm receiver box, and hump pack placement and I will be ready to rumble!

    FLM motor mount?

    Hey guys, I am in the middle of the FLM mid tank with a 250cc tank and ext tvps. Is the FLM motor mount necessary? Or can I stick with the stock hpi mount. Reason is because I stripped one of the hex screws on the hpi mount and now I can't get it off. I tried to mount the stocker onto the flm...
