Here are the updated electronics I have on the truck: (2) Savox 1257 servos Protek Life receiver pack Sanwa receiver w/ MT-4S remote control I've ran about 8 tanks through her and she has performed well. Took some time to learn how to tune properly (thanks RC10th for the base tune), but I think I ha...

Well it's been a while, but I thought I would update this thread now that I am FINALLY done with the truck. Put everything on hold for a while and recently got the itch to finish things up. The truck is AWESOME!!! Runs perfectly and that rebuilt motor screams :twisted: Here are a couple of pics afte...

Thank you for the info. I'll be hooking up the electronics this week and will set up the carb with the instructions above. Hopefully she fires soon.

I also turned my attention to the starter box that was provided when I purchased this project. I first had to flip the motor mounting position to the correct location and then I set up the configuration for this truck while the engine was still out. All of the contact points were cleaned and re-asse...

Finally got to work on the truck again this past weekend after receiving the miscellaneous parts I was missing. I began re-assembly of the remaining items while updating a few parts that I was previously concerned with. Installed the servos (I have to flip the steering servo around :oops: , and plum...

Question for you guys.... Will I have any issues running a 2s lipo receiver pack powering two Hitec 645mg servos on this project? Do I need a voltage regulator or can I run it without one? I don't plan to be running the truck for so long that I will drop below the lipo safe zone, but I am more conce...

Hi klavy, Mainly going to use this to run up and down the street. Never owned a nitro before and there definitely aren't and 10th scale nitro trucks running at any track nearby. I've always wanted one of these, but was never able to afford one as a kid. I'll probably run this every so often just for...

I put the block in the oven and I was able to remove the bearings. The rear bearing fell out by tapping it on a wooden block and I used a wooden spoon to pop out the front. After cleaning out the bearings and oiling them again with RC Tears, I put them in the freezer for a few hours before I was abl...

After taking inventory, I put together my parts list and placed an order on Amain for the remaining items. I should have everything by next week to button up this rebuild and try to fire it off in who knows how many years. I'll work on the starter box this week and see what wheel/ tire combos I have...

I began the engine rebuild process while adding after run oil to all of the pieces along the way. Everything went back together great and the engine was turning over nice and smooth :D I proceeded to take the carb apart and clean everything as well. I'll have to seek help when it comes to firing thi...

Thanks for the info, 10th! I will be checking the plug tonight to make sure I have either the standard or turbo plug. I'll keep you posted. I was actually able to take the engine completely apart last night and was really surprised to find all of the internals in excellent shape. There was no scarin...

Question for you guys, what glow plugs can I buy for this engine once it is rebuilt? Also, any budget friendly :lol: lipo packs you guys can recommend to put in this thing? I need the one to power the truck and I am also going to need to get one to power the starter box that came with the purchase o...

I was finally able to remove the tank and the engine with all of its hardware. I think I have been leaving this part for last because I am a little nervous of the rebuild process as this is my first time working on a nitro engine. The chassis was once again another victim to neglect. After brushing ...

Next order was to tear down the rear end and build back up using the same process. Nothing out of the ordinary except for the amount of gunk built up. It was almost impossible to remove the hinge pins because they were covered in old crud. After everything was cleaned, polished and rebuilt, I was ab...

So I finally made some headway this weekend with the tear down and build up. I was very happy to see that all pieces were in great shape, but in desperate need of a detail cleaning (what a mess nitro, dirt and sitting for a few years causes :shock: ). After cleaning all of the plastics, I turned to ...
