I can't believe how much stronger it is. We have not finalized a price point yet. I am excited it turned out so nice.

The first two tanks were burned at idle until empty. On the third tank, I took it to the nearby school parking lot to continue the break in....I took it easy and the MT managed to impress me until towards the end of the 3rd tank. The MT started sort of binding as I let it come to a stop on its own. It also started developing a cling type noise which I just found out it is coming from the clutch bell.

How to I know this? Well, the frigging bearing on the A gear is hosed for good.

My questions are:

1-Are the bearings on these MT garbage?
2-What exactly does the group think happened to this bearing? I did a loctite party and I did go over everything!
3-What is a top notch replacement for these bearings? Share a link, part number pls. I want to replace all 3.
4-How hard is it to replace?

To add to the ordeal, one of the screws (3mm I think) by the brake servo post above gear C got stripped. I will need a good source of real screws too please.
I will try to tackle that screw tomorrow morning...

So far, I am happy with the truck but I am sort of pissed because it could have been worse and more expensive.

Enjoy the pics
:mad:

My tuning seems perfect and all but something happened. I was just doing high speed run back in forth on the parking lot. I notice the engine have a lost of power when my XB was turning around to come toward me. It seem the idle was weak (Like the intensity of the idle was lowered) so I rev the engine.... it responded and seem to scream coming toward me. When it got close to me the engine finally died on me. Base on my experience starting my engine should only be one pull when my engine is warm. This time It won't... something tells me its something serious :( The only different thing I've done to my engine is I've fine tuned my LSN to where my XB launches very good on the low end. Before... it was running rich and was bogging down before it screams. What are your thoughts guys? I haven't done a full diagnostic yet but I did try to start it... so far I am not successful. Maybe I might have to send it back to OBR for them to check out.

Ok, gentlemen:

Here is my newbie question of the day: I have read in all the other threads that the Hitec 5755MG is the servo to get for steering. The Hitec 645 MG is the servo I should use for throttle. My question is this- what else do I need with these? Are these plug and play or do I need to modify things? Should I then upgrade the battery? If so, can someone give me a battery rundown?

So, that was actually a lot of questions- but any help someone can give me would be great. I have to mail order everything because I am overseas and I cant spend 3 weeks waiting for it to get here only to find out that I need more stuff- thus adding another 3 weeks.
