really ghetto initially. basically got L brackets from bunnings and bolted them to the seat. then where they lined up on the rail, drilled and bolted them on

make sure u get strong ones though

I'll race ya with the nitro R32 up to 50km/h, it could go up faster but launch is super quick due to it's light weight AWD making it a quick win :cool:

electric is faster :bunny:

I was running a mamba brushless combo and a 3s lipo and was seeing speeds around 100kph with foam tyers. Im also running a Team losi truck with a Sidewinder 5700kv combo and 2s lipo and im hitting speeds around 70kph with offroad tyers.

Quick update on the 26.

The loom is off the motor, aswell as the plenum. Need to organise a small crack in the plenum to be welded up and then strip it down with paint stripper and get it looking like new. Will be replacing all hoses with black silicon ones and getting new intake gaskets.

I picked up the rc car with the S15 shell at hobby habits on main north, the 34 shell at hobby habit daws road and the 32 shell on ebay, I also got an R34 shell that my girlfriend painted a charmeleon purple green colour lol I so wouldnt mind them 1:10 scaled Work Meister or XSA mmmmm

Dave, I was originally going to go for another electric and eventually whack a mamba max in there but couldnt resist trying out the nitro - the noise and the smoke is awesome. I could whack a mamba into the associated 1:18 I got but searching around apparently it doesnt stay on the ground because its too small/light :cool:

That R32 shell only just came in the mail today so its fresh and clean... and then it'll just end up like my S15 shell after it's first tank lol

the middle R34 shell will go on an electric one eventually :rofl:

Did you get your models from Hobby Habit?

also..just dial in some camber..always fun there!

thats it there..on the camera phone.

haha me, scott and adrian have 1:10 electric drift cars, farkin fun, havent taken mine out of the shed in a while tho. I have a 32 gtr shell, Blitz R34 drift shell, AE86 panda spec shell and an S15 :(

Whatever you do, grease up the driveshafts, the front ones are farking expensive!

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
