For example, I think there are 97 pages in this thread right now for me.

BTW, I also have a Dynamite header that I bought but never used. It looks awful long, wouldn't that affect your top-end power, unless you trimmed it almost back to the bend?

The TiR stuff Schumacher imports is top notch, won't go wrong there. Stay away from anything else titanium, it's all a waste of money. After trying pillow balls, hinge pins, screw kits, axles, input shafts, ect., the only thing I would recommend is the driveshaft & input shafts. Keep in mind that the input shafts will wear under the bearing races and will eventually need to be replaced. If I bought another kit I would get:
- steering & brake bearings
- ti-turnbuckles
- graphite kit (just my personal preferance, you don't have to have it)
- "The Fix"
- dual chamber pipe
- hard hinge pins
- copper clutch springs
That's it, I don't think you really need anything else, other than your normal spares. Pick any .12 3-port ROAR legal engine (NovaRossi, Mugen, Top, JP, Sirio, Picco, OS) and you'll be competitive. Make sure you use the best electronics you can afford.

I Ordered the HC Titanium Upper deck. and the AE aluminum blue shaft. I am a beginner to nitro. The next thing i get is either the Mx-3 or the JR RX3i. Which one would you recommend? Thanks for your help i will take a lot of this into considereation when i go and buy more parts. i think i might get the front bumper made by HC. Titanium or aluminum.

The NTC3 turnbuckles will contain one fairly short one (servo to rack), two slightly longer (rack to front wheels) and two THICK and LONG ones (rear toe links)
When you do get the turnbuckles, do yourself a favor and get new RPM Ballcups for the rear - make SURE to get the grey ones, they're made for the thicker, beefier buckles.

The only other "nice to have" but not necessary is the carbon fiber radio plate to spruce things up a bit. The NTC3 is a great car, but ugly. Ya need something on there to make it look like a racer.

Onroad,
I was at Edison. We had a blast. Shame its only once a month. I checked out the car last night. My usual camber wan't enough. My tires were coned the wrong way. I couldn't tell from my 1 qualifyer. Not enough time out there to do what needed to be done. Also believe I needed to go down a tooth with my Smeltz mod x-12 to compliment the strong top end of the engine. Another problem was as fastharry pointed out to me, my front tower came loose with the rdlogics top case. Running 2 classes I totally forgot to fix it(the screw striped out). Alot going on and I was real nervous. I could have gone to a larger screw. It was a learning expirance. If anyone is planning to go next month, you shouldn't be disappointed.
