This is how the car is on the box. Those front two pegs hold the car in place from sliding backwards.

I misunderstood your post about 50 pgs back then: i will stick the O-spring back on. what about the first shim behind the engine? Is this absolutely necessary on my nsr12?

Sweet, just found out my old car was in rcnitro. Or at least their website.

http://www.rcnitro.com/magazine/Nitr...des.asp?ID=153

I still have that body, have yet to run it. Still want to put some lights on it. I think im going to get this body ready to run soon.

Or maybe will just cherish it forever.

lol.

Klander- I ran the Rody V12 and it is unbelievable!!! .
The bottom end of the MT12 in no way comes close to this engine. A good firm tap on the throttle sends it 10ft+ easily. What I also like about it, is that it's not even maximum power yet and it is flat out fast! I still need to get diff fluid for the rear. What diff fluid are you and other guys running for the rear? Did you install the rear axle instead?

If you have the front one way try the locked diff or just something heavy 50wt should be good.

HARK- Yes, I use the solid axle in the front, it works great, but like I said before you lose some steering and the tires wear faster.
I use a small amount of light grease in the rear, no oil.
BTW I'll try sending the vid in a couple of minutes. ok

yeah the reason I'm using that engine is because we have a stock category and you can't change the engine, you can switch gear ratios, suspension, pipes, header, but the engine has to be the hpi .15 stock.... lol it's a funny category to release stress from the rest jajajajaja... I think now they are letting us use foams, which work great cause I pass on all the worn tires that my R-40 can't use anymore...
