Which will fit my engine?

[Guest]

I have the HPI Tarmac Busters... I like them, but the stock tires were taller.

Hostile makes a slick for the 5T/5SC. It is taller. http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/c.885035/n.1/it.A/id.8551/.f

I'm still trying to get the optional ratios for the belt drive.

I just didnt know about the stock tires and how well they would do on pavement (or how long they would last)...

You will kill them. LOL

Running in 2WD also will get you a higher top speed. Hang on though, she will be all over the road.

I need control... so I am not sure that is a good answer for me. Im not that good of a driver

We have an abandoned go-kart track here on base that they have let us occupy to play cars. It is all cement and had tires lining it, but they just removed the tires for us this week and I cant wait to get the DR running and out there again... that is where I have the most fun with it. It's a nice track

I just spent 230 at DDM... got a few things- new air filter, velosity stack, filter outerwear, ported full mod head, ratiorite cup,

stuff like that and some gasket sets.

That sounds awesome. The only onroad I get to do is in front of the house or empty parking lots.

Cant play at the house any more... too many complaints... people are mad about my car getting to drive faster than the 15MPH speed limit

Those hostile slicks- are those hard rubber or kind of soft? I have seen the drift style tires and I sure as hell don't want those

 

[Guest]

They come in medium or soft. Its not a drift tire.

I will look into them for the next order, but right now I better get a leather project or 2 to cover what I just bought. I need to start pimping my handmade baseballs more

That sucks.

You will not regret going with the ESP championship ported cylinder big bang for the bucks!

I thought about getting a silencer for the pipe, but don't know much about them... do they work well? Do they hinder performance?

 

[Guantanamo Joe]

and what the hell would I do to mount a silencer to the dominator side pipe? Even with RC DAD's long silicone heat tubing, it would make this thing look like some alien craft... ha ah ha

I almost bought one of the rear dominators from dave's blemish sale for the dunerunner, but I like how small the XCan is I am thinking though about something to get the exhaust tips out past the rear wing because I am tired of the oil all over the wing and rear braces...

 

[Guest]

I have one on my MT. It still has the stock engine though. It quiets it down. I have it hooked to a Jetpro pipe.

It would be difficult with the side dom.

 

[Guantanamo Joe]

yep... so I think i will just put some high heat tubing on my X-Can stingers on the Dune Runner and then zip tie them to the brace under the rear wing... that should work.

 

[Guest]

Yeah don't spend too much on that xcan. If you install a hopped up engine you will need a tuned pipe.

 

[Guantanamo Joe]

damnit... another $160... Grr...

anybody need some leatherwork done??? ha ha ha

 

[Guest]

Can you either PM or Emai me some more photos of your work? I might be interested. Maybe an IPad cover? I'm always looking for cool gifts. Christmas seems to seek up on us.

 

[Guantanamo Joe]

I will email you some pics soon...
