    How many different 4.6 nitro motors does hpi make?

    Much thanks for that. I may just go for the 5.9 big block then. as they still come factory fitted with the roto start gear reduction backplate. It may also seem ok to just cut the ball and pin shaft down to the hex part of the shaft ( has a spare shaft which is...

    Cheers WJC, Always good to see the outcome reply once the issues/s have been resolved. My only tune issue is after excessive idling is stalling out if I'm too trigger happy on the TX or stopping to top up the tank, but otherwise never seem to have an issue with the way my...

    Why am I going through diffs so fast??

    had mine for a while x 4.6 and after 6 gallons decided it was time to check the mesh in diffs. I did need to add 2 shims to each diff between bearing and large bevel gear to snug up mesh to pinion and rear diff needed new bearings always better to maintain these wearing parts...
