I will be going on Saturday morning

Ticket is $70 :(

Also who is good with clutch.

I did my clutch and its making a very loud noise when i release the pedal its vibrates very badly makes the whole car shake also when the car is in gear i can spin the rear wheel with hand.

The pressure plate that i put in which came with the new clutch kit is a little small, will this be the problem.

Just moved it in my garage not driving it anywhere mate.

Im so pissed off because i did it on the floor and it took me ages especially the gear box take a lot of time

See thats what i was worries about getting a wrong parts if i bought it myself so i just bought the whole kit from trojan he ordered everything for me

Hopefully he is going to be open tomorrow

If John bought it then it will suit the vehicle

Doing a clutch the first time and doing on the garage floor is definitely a painful process

Expense is in the cost of the clutch, not the install. IMHO it's best to get it installed too

(That way there is no argument if it's clutch components or install that's the issue if things go wrong,)

Edit: You bled the clutch cylinder properly?

Gotta love days off! Might get the nitro rc back out today. Hasn't been run for 6 months or so because it was too cold. Mmmm.. Sweet sweet nitro :happy:

Ahh I wish ! I fried the engine in mine. No compression. Didn't tune it after the run in process. It's bean dead for about a year :(. I do love the smell of nitro :D

Woops, yeah my engine seems fairly strong. Needs a real good alignment though haha. Pulls right fairly hard even with left trim :S

did you machine the flywwheel? was it torqued up correctly?

Pressure plate needs a very long process of torqing up in the right pattern.

was everything totally clean, real clean?

Just enough of the right grease in just the right spots?

I did all this first, and still it wasnt easy.

The clutch fork can pop off and jam as your putting the box back on. Did it to me about 4 times before i got it.

My gearbox was on and off a few times before i got everything together right. What a pain.

RB20 box was heavy enough for me, yours must be heavier.

You guys have on or off road cars?

Mines a road car. I sometimes wish it was off road though so I could take it anywhere

But you cant, its gotta be just right.

It can be a real pain finding a good spot for on or off road.

My Tmaxx got taken out by a brick at a building site. Full boar second gear, didnt see it till it was too late. >_<

After that i never went back to nitro

85 amps from a lipo got me hooked on them and brushless motors.

Instant full power, more than nitro, its nuts. So easy to build a car thats way too fast.

I've got both. :D

and yes I've spent many a time searching thru rocks, sticks, leaves and dirt trying to find that screw that parted ways from my RC and ruined my fun. :/

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
