Man this truck is fast! My son has had the fastest 5 minute qualifier at the last 2 Minnesota Nitro series races (www.mnnitroseries.com) this is out of all classes including buggy. We have ran a P5x and a 421b but we keep going back to our Mach .28. I did make a special 7mm restrictor for better mileage.
He hasn't changed any shock or diff fluids, only change is to the white spring in the rear this weekend.

I am a machinist, I made one out of delrin, 7mm inside 8mm outside.
Anyone have problems with the outer steering ends popping off? I bought an extra set of steering balls and used the same ones as the inside uses, then use a 5-40 flat head screw through the ball. Works awesome!

Is everyone enjoying their T? The thread seems sort of slow--NO PROBLEMS? LOL. Mine has been awesome. No complaints. Only praise. I should have set my buggy up like this at the beginning of the season.

No complaints about my 8T... It's been trouble free since new, and has been great on the track...
