Nah coz we have kill switches

only if ur quik enuff to realise whats going on before it does one.....................

 

[dirby]

could you make some kind of a metal brace from the bottom of the pipe to the floor of the truck to make sure the pipe dosen't come down any lowerr and get gung up with the sptings or servo horn?
hold on a couple of minutes i will be right back.

 

[evssv]

well I need to bloody run the thing to find out I guess...........if I didnt fall asleep in a min it may get its first run today.....

 

[Z.hb71]

Why not just get it cut and re welded to clear the servo? Just go to a exhuast shop and they'll do it. I wouldn't risk it

 

[dirby]

something like this maby?

 

[evssv]

nah cant b assed with that.....anyways I want a bart when I finds one...

something like this maby?

yeah could do...........

 

[Z.hb71]

plus then it`ll no doubt touch the body..........so more ball ache....
if the horn marks the pipe then I`ll have to re-thk this....

 

[dirby]

it useualy runs away when you first start it up and don't have the tx in your hand to hit the kill switch.
when you first start it have the truck facing
toward the rear wheel on your 1to1 car so if it does take off it will hit the side of the wheel on your car and not go running across the grass or parking lot something to think about.

 

[evssv]

I normally start it up on me bikes seat anyways.......then put it on floor once its settled.....

[crucialRC]

Why not do like we do when fitting headers on hot rods, and take a ball peen hammer to that area and persuade it a little

 

[dirby]

yeah the BFH works every time.

 

[DougStar]

I try not fix thing with a hammer .......i always get carried away?

 

[crucialRC]

something like this maby?

I think this would distort the plastic side wings.

 

[DougStar]

something like this maby?

Thats never gonna work! Yes if the car is static

I think this would distort the plastic side wings.

Im with crucial on this but im going to say definitely distort the splash guards
