dune runner arrival

[Guantanamo Joe]

I am going to buy 1 and if I love it, then I will buy one for the other trucks. My first one is going in my DuneRunner because it's my fastest and I use it for "on road" with the HPI TarmackBuster tires... works great.

 

[bigboysrctoys]

just ordered 1 hope it comes with a gasket.

 

[Guantanamo Joe]

surely it would, but I wondered that myself.

 

[bigboysrctoys]

now find a 8000 spring and decent exhaust that wont break the bank

 

[Guantanamo Joe]

Like I said, mine wears an XCan and it does great... but others have said that the other pipes are better...

 

[bigboysrctoys]

maybe I will go that route for now, like I said don't need crazy fast just better take off. Thanks

 

[Guantanamo Joe]

It definately helps with that- you really wouldnt even think it is the same engine with the difference it makes...

 

[bigboysrctoys]

sweet thanks

The ddm rear dom works Awsome I can't say enough

 

[Deluge]

are these things normally sluggish off the start? it takes a good 15 seconds before it seems to kick in and move good.

That's a combination of a crap carb, crap pipe and lame clutch spring.

You'll get the same performance from the HPI 5T can, and it's cheaper. Plus, you won't have to worry about those stingers coming loose.

just ordered 1 hope it comes with a gasket.

The 990 I got from DDM didn't come with a gasket. It's a good idea to stock up on some gasket sets, just in case.

Gaskets ordered, lokking at other exhaust options before u buy but thanks for the info

 

[Deluge]

Glad to help, dude.

 

[bigboysrctoys]

I went all over this thing the day it came in and thread locked every screw and bolt I could and the ones I couldnt get to either fell out or became loose!

 

[Guantanamo Joe]

sounds about right... there is a lot of vibration going on in that thing while you are having this much fun...

How did she run though?

 

[bigboysrctoys]

ran ok gotta get the low end bog taken care of tho that kinda ruins the fun.

 

[Guantanamo Joe]

Once you decide on a pipe, it will be gone...

 

[bigboysrctoys]

I am hoping so. the carb should be here early next week, still looking for a 8000 clutch spring and considering a belt drive but that can wait if need be.

 

[Guantanamo Joe]

The spring alone is hard to locate... and even harder to get in the stock clutch. I suggest for under 15 bucks just getting a new clutch with the spring already installed.
