A Castle Mamba Monster with the 2200Kv on 4s will be crazy. 1/8 powerplant in a 1/10 buggy........ 8-)

Ya, i will definitely change the tires to some all terrain ones, but not too sure about rims.

But i will definitely mods the shocks as suggested by you, once i get some cash, i'll replace them with aluminum ones

The aluminium shocks DO NOT stop the oil leak. The problem is with the design of the shock cup - the tiny plastic piece at the bottom which holds the o-rings in place. The Aluminum shocks also use PLASTIC shock cups - with the same design. So using aluminum shocks wont help. I read online where many have changed over to losi or traxxas slash ultra shocks and it worked well for them.

whee can i find good articles about thunder tiger cars, i tried rcu but didn't had much about tomahawk, and i couldn't even find anything about the sparrowhawk  shocks to.
Any links?

BTW i am really pissed off with the radio box.
Its too small to keep a Rx battery and receiver inside it,and my receivers antenna is now a lil damaged due to it, its a real pain :(

rajathv8

Nope. I searched but nothing was mentioned.

traxxrc1

But guys i seriously need to do something for the radio box, its really tooo small.
I'll be back.

rajathv8

Do you plan on using a bigger receiver?

traxxrc1

No man, the box is small and cramped even with the stock rx
