Ok,


I did these mods over the weekend and now I am going to place my order for the Asgard boby, HPI wheel adapters, Proline wheels and tires and a few other mod's I thought of.


I will make my first run this weekend :D as the weather is going to be desent, hope all goes well.


I read that the gas tank vent upgrade is not working? And you still have to vent the tank by modding the cap. Not sure I was in and out of my office so I didn't read it all.


BRC :)
 
so thats what i have heard too about the gas tank vent. i have only 3.5 tanks on mine, but i haven't had ANY problems with venting useing the upgrade. its not buildin any pressure in the tank. hopefully it stays that way. don't want the extra fuel line.. i did that fuel line mod on my 5b. it looks good. once i runn the fuel out of my tank i think im gona do my mt the same.. i love the chrome wing.. try not to get it dirty.. my mt still looks like i just pulled it out of the box:eek:
 
I am not going to run the chrome wing with thr trophy truck body, It will be on for the test run with no jumping (if I can help myself)


I like the tank fittings it looks good!

Ok,


I am kicking myself for not switching to 1/5th scale sooner!


I ran the TT today for the first time and she fired on the second pull! The break-in went smoooooth and all is good. What a blast toady!


The cable brake mod works great and the handling on the TT is great. I have a vid of it idling on the stand, of course I didn't charge the cam and it died so I didn't get any running vid; next run!

damn i hate you with all that chrome!!!! i wanted the chrome rims something crazy. it looks so nice. cant wait till i get my tt. looks like you were running it. how did it go? i wana know bout the brake modd. did it feel like it was grabbing too much with no spring?
 
Krypt,


I posted before, but the run went great, all was good. The cable brake mod is smoooth they work great. Look at the previous pic I use an air brake rubber boot and I can dial in as much brake as I want.


The ABS fuction on the 3PK makes it even better!

ya. i have to use my abs setting on my 3pm. the stock spring wasnt giving me enough so i put some fuel line in there, but i iether have lock-up brakes or no-brakes. locking up those big wheels on the pavement puts alot of tension on the diffs. i didnt see that vid before. we posted at the same time

Let me know if you want to know what parts I used for the mod I will PM it to you. It is very easy to do and you will have pleanty of brakes to slow of stop your monster truck.


The brake cable I used is teflon coated so the actuation is very smooth!
