too excited..
this exhaust needs to hurry up and get here.. could be another week or two.
otherwise i got the new transmitter/reciever. hooked it up, tested servos
got my starter box set up.
FINALLY got the engine off (no drilling required.. just a nicer wrench)
pics of the engine following this post hopefully.
got air filters for both cars
got the temp gun, and glow starter.
i am ALMOST there. now i just need some batteries and chargers (and this dang exhaust) then i'll be bashing it up.

looking into this charger. has anyone used it or heard anything good/bad about it?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/310910377330...84.m1423.l2649
also considering a charger for "AA"s
http://www.ebay.com/itm/300984154083...84.m1423.l2649
this one is only 10$, and then some lithium rechargeables for the flysky transmitter. or, should i try to get the charging cord for the transmitter itself, and eliminate need for the "AA" charger?

Finallyyyyy.
Got it running!! New tank is amazing, the old one wasnt a tight seal. Shout out to nitrohead for that!
Got the exhaust, and everything i need except the LHS failed to tell me the charger i purchased didnt come with the proper connector for the battery he sold me

But i started it right up and she sounds good!! Engine has great compression. Front end needs aligned bad though.. All this waiting finally paid off when i could smell the nitro burnin!

the low speed needle is the verticle screw, correct?
the high speed on the end, and idle on the side next to the block?
loosening the lsn will make the engine more rich? correct?
just want to be sure BEFORE i ruin an engine, as opposed to after. lol
