Hi there. I'm Rich from CT. Just got into the hobby recently and can't get enough now.

Yeah the yard slopes away from the house so drainage is not a problem. Ill clear the dirt away from the sides and use the 4" black pipe for a border. I'm trying to work out the best way to smooth and solidify the track though. I'm thinking a powered tamp would be best. Has anyone here used one ...

I decided to give myself a reason to use our backyard. Just started today. There will be a tabletop jump where the course crosses over.

Just a thought. Can I swap shafts from the longer o.s. to the shorter ae? That way I could still use the ae for a different project.

Hey Todd,
is this the part you were talking about?

That is very interesting. And a great idea. I do have a HUGE sence of accomplishment right now though. I d.ecided to tackle the carb again. Took it all apart ,and using a plastic brush, cleaned out every needle where gas could go. Felt the blockage give way when I stuck it in the needle under the hi...

Can I cut the shaft to a shorter length of the stock ae?

The o.s. is not a short shaft. Unfortunately.

Ha ha. Love the punt comment.
I have an o.s. CV-rx non (s). Is there any wy to make it work?

Ok here's what I did. Completely disassembled the carb, removed all rubber, and soaked it in carb cleaner. Changed the fuel lines. Now gas will get to the carb but VERY slowly. The car still won't run after the nitro I force feed it runs out. I have a new tank coming. Any suggestions? http://img.pho...

I started messing with the stock motor. The car will fire only if I pour nitro directly into the carb. And then stall after its burned out. It does not seem to be sucking from the gas tank. Has anyone had this happen before and could a new tank solve the problem? Also, is there a good carb cleaning ...

Gotcha.
How compatible is the rcgt to the rcgt2? I have an opportunity to get a gt2 parts car.

Ver nice. I also have a T41 xp3 SS transmitter/receiver combo to go into it. Can you recommend a decent metal geared servo? I don't need the best but want reliability.

Thanks for the replies. In your opinions is there any engines I should stay away from? I was thinking of keeping with the TA brand and get this. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHTN2&P=0#tech
I'm having trouble finding an os CV .15.

After doing some research I may be leaning towards a 15 motor instead of an 18. Is it just me or does the 15 seem to be easier on the gears and more reliable? Any advice is much appreciated.
