1/10 nitro sedan must haves?
Hey guys, I'm getting back into racing nitro on-road and recently got an NT 1 EC and wanted to ask what are the must have tools that are important to buy? I used to race nitro a few years back, got out of it and went strictly electric. Now I'm back and want to know instead of getting a bunch of tools or nitro specific tools what do you find you need the most?
Also, I have an OS XZ motor with a max 2602 pipe and header combo. I'm planning on getting a RB T9 or the modded version of that, what is the best pipe and header combo for that motor or motors? Thanks in advance! |
He's gone to the darkside. :nod:

Ok well I would call myself a pro at this stuff but here is what I would suggest for the must haves.
Solid metric wrench set (I have the Team Losi set) Lazer Temp gun Lipo receiver pack / regulator Quality Fuel (like Byrons) Gel cell in your starter box Gloves (for pitting) Good long flat screwdriver Tent for your table Other then these items you would want all your main tuning items that would be the same as what you have been using with your electric.

Seriously... LiFe on nimh pack, lipo is not a necessity If you haven't been racing with foams before, you might consider a truer.. I just bought one from 3Racing, it seems pretty good |
thanks to all of you that replied:D What are the essential tools like the hudy tool that measures the gap of the clutch, holds the clutch in place while you tighten the pinion gears on and the tool that helps you put the pinion gears on? Tools like that are those essential?

Never needed.. just throwing money out.. get tires instead
You can set the gap easily by eye-balling it and trying it out on track. Manual gives you initial setup, too (at least Kyosho does) There are certain types of pliers generally available in hardware stores that helps you adjusting the centax clutch nut. |
Get a centax clutch nut tool if you buy only one nitro specific tool. Assembling the clutch can b a biatch without one.
