MT trophy truck project

Those fittings don't quite fit in the grommet, they're a little loose. When you install them, put a piece of fuel line on the neck of the fitting. This will give them a better fit and a tighter seal.

Thanx Deluge for the heads up.after using the fuel line to snug fittings they shouldn't leak?

 

[Deluge]

No. They'll be fine.

Just driving it.

I want to try the new 8.2 hp OBR in it. My injury will set that back a little. I'm hoping this summer to have some shop time and work on the cars a bit.

what type of welding method did you use for the cage assembly? this truck is just gorgeous!!!!

 

[Guest]

I used a mig.

Thanks

DAM.... wow.... usually I don't like the look of a truck but you really turn me around on that RCdad.... is this all mod that you did by yourself? Amazing.... must cost you a fortune?

 

[Guest]

Yes and yes.

It still needs the 8.2 hp OBR reed case.

 

[ChuenouXiao]

Yes and yes.It still needs the 8.2 hp OBR reed case.

That reed case should fit a XB right?

For the other side I added some braid for the fuel lines with filter and a blue double sided choke lever all from python. Not to get off the subject but has every one seen the delivery chick at the bottem of the python purchase / shipping page. I keep looking for her when the parts come. I painted the center of the gears just to dress them up. I was hoping the pretty gears would make me happy until demon releases the belt drive and two speed. It didn't work I still really want both from demon. I also had to get the aluminum fuel tank cap from nitro rc.

WOW... is that some sort of shielded fuel line? I like it.... or is it just for look? A filter on the fuel line huh? Where can I get all that and is it worth it?

Yes, It should fit fine.

 

[ChuenouXiao]

Why is that?

 

[ChuenouXiao]

Yes, It should fit fine.

Might have to upgrade all my bearings just for the new engine

 

[Guest]

Why is that?

I thought it looked a little sloppy. The braid did not stay tight on the line. I like the look of the colored transparent line better.
