+1 the nova or RB will get it done in a truggy. We all know slower is faster anyway. especially when you are just starting.:nod:

Drake just won truggy A Main Invitational!
Losi and Novarossi, what a combo.:lol:
Plus 4 w/7mm restrictor, 9853 pipe with 30% Nitrotane according to Adam Drake on Live RC. Said the Plus 4 got better mileage than the Toro Nero so went with that.

Pretty sure they are too short with the longer 2.0 arms.

No they don't fit the 2.0:nod:

Finally got mine done. Now we just need some decent weather. Might get snow tomorrow.:mad: I was hoping to out on my practice track this week before a big race indoor race in Canada. Updates include 1.0 servo saver. King Headz servo saver top, Losi aluminum servo arm, front hub extenders, King Headz aluminum rear hubs with the larger bearings, Losi adjustable rear hinge pin braces and longer screw where required. I hope I didn't miss anything. The Nemo body should be good for a laugh when I'm having a bad day.

Good luck in T-Burb looneytune....unfortunately i wont be able to make it out that way. :(

looneytune 04-05-2009 07:27 AM

Thanks, first time at this race for me. I'll be happy not to be the last qualifier in both classes the way this season has started. I hope I have the buggy figured out and I'm dying to wheel this truggy since at least I can make a little mistake and not have it cost me a lap.:lol:I'll get better with the buggy, someday.

Who painted your body?

Bradley Fine Line Design in Ohio. Here is a link to some of his work.

There is so much detail in that Nemo body that isn't showing up. I should have waited and taken the pictures during the day. He has some on his site that look much better.

Integra, I'll say hi to Chewy and the rest of the boys. They don't know me, but I have raced with them quite a few times last year.

What 3-shoe clutch systems will fit, and will they fit without having to buy a different engine mount? Thanks.

teeforb 04-05-2009 03:24 PM

hey fellaws... what's the deal with the rear bearing going bad? i think mines has gone bad. the rear tires whobbles A LOT. is it the hub carrier or the bearing itself? if it is the bearing, what after market bearing should i get?

also, one of my wheels stripped... man, what's up wit that???

rcboxer 04-05-2009 03:27 PM

The problem comes from the bearing being too small. The best option is to mod it/ have it modded to fit the larger 8x16x5 bearings. If you want to get it modded PM J-DUB. You can just use better bearings, and extend the life somewhat, but in the end they are still going to fail prematurely.:nod:
