tcerventes - yes, sounds like you found the right place. Can join us for more discussion on the TNT thread. We generally get up on the hills ourselves when driving to see where the cars are and to do jumps. Your engine sounds like it's doing well - actually a little on the rich side which is good. If you are happy with the performance and it's running cool, then you're doing well. You probably can lean it out some more, but I dun dare to say without seeing/hearing the truck run in person.

painful?not really,when u see ur truck more than 7 fts off the ground,throttling control ur truck so that it lands on 4 wheels,the feeling is like..ronaldo would have said it "it's better than having sex" 
but seriously speaking, i really get the thrill of jumping my truck,i jump some of the steep bumps at the bmx track at full speed and it feels so great when u see ur truck floating in mid air,like slow motion,n landed on 4 wheels without anything breaks,WOW!!
the first few jumps were really bad,landing on the front or rear or worse,ur engine died out while mid air n u cant throttle control the car
but so far for my mp nothing serious has happen...yes some bended dog bones,broken shock shaft,broken axle,bended shock mount n yes,meshed diff gears.all these can be purchased at affordable price n some u can use hammer to "repair" them yes after some hammering n ur good to do those crazy jumps again 
dxboy,RB pipes r quite nice especially the 086 or the 063.but if u can get the cvec i thinks it's good too,u can set ur cvec pipe according to ur mood for more low or high end.i personally recomend u get these pipes. well if u like trucks then just get the dom,not very ex n parts can be easily obtained.gee,i must ask winnie to give commisions already
many of the TNTers have dom,so u can ask them for advice,for me i still prefer the old version of Dom,the MP i love those big wheels,big n bouncy
get a MT n come join us at tp,u'll love the place n u'll love ur truck even more

Cool?
yes, i am happy with the performance, also tot can lean it a bit more, but my biggest worry is still the temp, very very afraid that might overheat engine, and damage it, how do i know its running cool enough , apart from a temp gun which i cannot afford yet, any easy way i can tell immediate, i dun have experience, so can't count on it. is dripping a drop of water and see it stays more than 4 sec after 10min of high revs running on it reliable? i try using my hand , but been a biit thick skin , cannot be accurate.
i really need to learn more from you guys.
Addict, i now know why your nick is call RC addict,
i guess i will be watching in horror if my truck is 7 ft in air, maybe just for now, most prob i will get the addict from you too....

tcerventes - no problem. All the TNT guys are a great bunch and not all too serious. Just there to talk trucks and nonsense - and to get some action.
Yes, the initial jumps do hurt, but like rcaddict says, landing off a big jump successfully is always a wonderful feeling and he should know because he fell in love with Tampines after the very first visit! And he loved it so much he fried his servos there running in the rain. lol! That's the spirit!
RB pipes are very good, but they are a little on the soft side - so they will get a little banged up when you run the trucks hard. But it's nothing a little freezer time can't fix.
tcerventes - if your engine is running up to your expectations and still it's running cool (10 secs to evaporate) then I'd say leave it. Always good to run rich rather than lean... and if you not sure just stay on the rich side.

couldnt' afford the temp gun too so i got the temp probe,which is available at sam's shop for around 40++,its not as accurate as temp gun but its good enuf already.
yep when ur engine is still new u will b afraid to get it lean,but after a while u will just lean it n have the tendency to kill ur engine becos u need a reason to get a new engine our fren bloodclod was trying to kill his 4 port hyper engine but i think the engine is still kicking,he needed the excuse to get the 8 port hyper i think he got his 8 port recently so after a while he might be doing something to his 8 port again if he has a new engine in mind
twerp n zoner r running on 25% nitro on their MF becos they r both power craze
hopefully will c ur MA in action too at TP

tcerventes: What is your high speed needle setting? I'm running at close to 1 1/2 turn out/ Zone too. Can't get any power till under 2 turns. Its suppose to be 2-3 turns. Wonder if its the same for you too.

twep,
my high speed needle, is extactly 2 turn out from close, i have run it at bout 1 3/4 turn out before, but it get really hot, too lean, drop a drop of water it sizzle quite fast, like 5 sec to evapo, so i use 2 turn, good enough for me, as blood says, stay a bit rich better. But at 1 3/4 turn out, the power it very good, but bear in mind i am using 10% nitro, so our setting will vary.
It is suppose to be at "more then 2 1/2 turn out" from the manual, i was beggining to worry if i am the only one, guess not....
by the way i still cannot hear or see my 2nd gear shift, but when the 3 gear kick in, it is aall hell break lose! cannot control, anyway i still newbie.

Maybe you should try accelerating slowly. The 1st to 2nd change is very quick. you can also try the monster blazer 19mm rims too. Wider and makes the truck more stable.
