i dunno about the NT1 but on the mugen there is a nut thing on the wire from the brake arm to the servo and all u do is tighten it a bit more, also screw the screws in on the brake pads mabey a 1/4 of a turn then try i again.

Well the thing is, the bearing is new, the clutch housing is new. So it can only be the trust bearing holder. But still, if that's new, there's still some play. I feel the small bearings are just to loose, so what small bearings are you guys using?

Brake Pads
 

Hey guys can any-one tell me if the option Kyosho ACRE brake pad is a direct fit on to the NT!,, Thanks. At the moment we run the Exceed option Disc, has anyone else tried this with the Kyosho pada.. Thanks in advance.

Don't think they fit.
Try the mugen yellow thingys :)

Don't fit, don't waste your money.

The KM Racing brakes have worked excellently for me you may wanna try those...

+1

Did you use those on the XceedRC disk?

-1 for exceed disc lol, brakes don't get / stay hot enough to be consistent

do you mean inconsistent? I thought it was the heat from prolonged braking that caused the fading.

brakes have to operate between a certain temperature range to work well.. to hot wont stop and fades, to cold and it will either wear the pad or disc faster, or wont bite as well.. the stock disc actually weighs less (less material) than the exceed disc. hint, if you have fade its probably not the stock disc, look for the pad.

No I used the stock brake disk.

I knew it was the pads, but after discovering the kyosho pads didn't fit, i got the exceed disk.

what hand control do you have ?
try adjusting your high point adjustment..

I'm using a kyosho red pad, they don't fit out of the box, but its soft material, so do some hobby stuff :)

Grub, I'v got a 3PK

I was thinking about getting a nt1 for this summer and was wondering about the 08 compared to the 09 spec. I can get a 08 spec for $130 cheaper than the 09. Is it worth the savings or should i just get the 09?

I've got an 08 and just bought the 09 .. so this is what I think .. I like the new side belt tensioner. I prefer the aluminum shocks on the heavy NT1. I also would have gotten the rear cvds that don't come with the 08 kit. With that said, the aluminum shocks kit is $39.65 a PAIR and the cvds are $37.95 EACH, so that's a total of $155.20. NeXus Racing Prices ..... Plus the new two speed spring, wider side belt and other parts .....

It's a NO BRAINER in my book ... get the 09 ... :nod: ..... I'll more than likely get the conversion kit for my 08 when the come out, if it's not a arm and leg ... :lol:

ok, IMO save the bucks and get the 08, unless your really fast to begin with you won,t notice much difference. buy the side tensioner separate for what, 5 bucks. but the rest of the car is fine for club racing. the rear cvd's just add more moving parts. stock dogbones rear are fine. use the money on spares or tires or something for practicing. I haven't had a problem with the fuel tank personally. and most of the replacement parts are wear items anyhow save for the shocks. and if you want Aluminum shocks you can get serpent RCC's for a bit less and they are better shocks anyhow.. shhhh lol

+ 1 with what rx said:nod:.
Don`t worry rx i know ur gonna turn to the dark side once the new snake becomes available. lol,lol.

haha lol
well said unless you are desperate to get a winnig car then get the 08 but surely the 09 worth more than the 08 but both of them can get you anywhere you want
i myself got the 08 kit just after the release of the 09 because i was desperate to get back on the wins(too many stupid breakdowns).
if money is no problem get the 09...:tire:

+1 to what rx said

+5 to what you said! :D

The 09 has a new top deck also so the new belt tensionsr and the new top deck are alittle more than 5 bucks I'm guessing ... :D

get 09 of course.

Consider to buy Mugen Seiki MTX4 allumunium dampers ONLY IF 09 still come with plastic dampers. From my 08 experience, Xray plastic dampers are leaky sometimes. ( coz only using single o ring ).

I have an NT1 that's was only used as a review for 3hobby.net and would like to upgrade it to an 09 spec. Time to race it properly I think!

Anyone has a list of upgrades to do this?

Thanks. :D

here is a link of the upgrades:

Hey, many thanks. I was being a lazy bum there ... should have looked at Xray's website. Thanks again.

Omg, slow you going xray? Amazing!

He's prob thinking .... drive one or chase one ... :sneaky:

Does anyone know where I can get a sp brake disc in the US

HI guys I just wanted to see how everyone is rebuilding there diffs to prevent air pockets:confused: can they be pressure sealed?if so how? and what seals are most people using locktight gasket seal? as the original oring is terrible?
cheers:)

air pockets? the diffs aren't sealed airtight anyway, plus you are supposed to half fill them, there will always be some air in there. i think you are over thinking it dude.

use a ride shock pump to remove the bubbles, but don't be too concearned about it, you will never have it air free and air tight.

most of the team drivers are filling the diffs full. what i do is use the ride shock air removal tool. and fill it till its ALMOST full(half the width of the crown gear in the diff) and then when its at the right level with no air bubbles, i drop the ring gear in and add oil till its full. no mess no spillage. use some "ultra black" permatex rtv silicone on the face of the diff housing where they touch. and vola. usually don't have to service the diff for several hours of running with no leaks.

cheers guys thanks for the suggestions:)

Yes I plan to race it more than previously. The car has been sitting dormant, no one will buy it second hand anyways without me losing a ton of change and its a good car no? :D

Heh heh, I'll be chasing whichever car that's on the track these days ... just look at my real username over at 3hobby.net :lol::lol::lol:
