There is a used one on Ebay, in Harrow

I got a pair of them there Tasis pipes on my Ofna Titan Twin sounds amazing. That Cen Pipe is good as it is bolted together can be taken apart and the baffles moved/modified or removed completely, got it on my Cen GST7.7.

Bloody hell, The Texas Wild Baja was the second RC vehicle i ever owned back in the 70's (The first was a mardave Nitro Ferrari). If you are not a Vintage enthusiast then that would be a good model to bring up to modern day standards add shocks etc. Yes it does look as if everything is original, i love the spring adjusters on the front, things were so much simpler back then!! Is that a vecco 21 motor?

Yes the diffs are virtually bullet proof, i dont think that they have changed the internals but i know that the outdrives were beefed up for the Nemisis version. All the nitro versions of this truck suffer from Half Tank Lean due to the size of the fuel tank so its difficult to get a good consistant tune, and on the original Genisis and GST versions it was difficult to get it to shift into 3rd gear this has been fixed by using softer (gold) springs in the 3rd gear clutch, so if you strip down your gearbox make sure it has the new springs fitted or you will be in for a very frustrating time trying to get it to shift. The half tank lean can be minimised by putting a one way valve in the pressure line from exhaust to tank.

I have had the GST 7.7 version for over 10 years and love it. The difference between the various versions is as follows, Genesis and GST 7.7 both had reverse and the front drive shaft from the transmission to the diff was a plastic telescoping type. the genesis cooling head was usually red, the GST was black. The nemesis version had beefed up drive line parts and the front driveshaft to the diff is just a dog bone also it did not have reverse. the Collusus was basically the same as the nemisis but had a different style body and came with a Savox steering servo as standard. All the models came with Skyion radio gear.

OMG the suspense is killing me. Haven't known suspense like this since "who shot J R". Cant wait for the video of its first run. Oh by the way who did shoot J R?

I think that what you have there is a PB Alpha modified to off road. I remember the alpha well was the first suspension on road rc car available in the UK was affectionately known as a wibbly wobbly. The usual combo back then was Alpha with OPS .21 motor and futaba 27Mhz AM radio, Good old Days.

I use the Cen Racing steel collars GS272 and replace the 3mm grub screw with a short socket head cap screw so the hex is bigger, those 3mm grub screws strip the hex easily. I am only a basher so not worried about the extra weight. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/CEN-GS272-Rod-Stopper-4-for-their-GSR-5-0-GST-7-7-Nemesis-7-7-Monster-Trucks-/231389536808

Ofna clutch shim kit no OFN 10410 has retaining washers that have a 5mm spigot on them to accommodate this problem, if the spigot is not quite long enough then put some of the 5mm shims that come with the kit on first put enough shims on so that when the retaining screw is tightened up there is just the slightest hint of end float.http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xofn10410.TRS0&_nkw=ofn10410&_sacat=0

Leaky exhaust manifold gasket?

OFN17132 is off the OFNA Pirate 10 monster. If it is the same part then Nitro House have them for 6 Bucks thats about 4 Quid. They are a good company and i have used them many times, donk know what shipping to UK would be.

Try OFNA part No OFN17132 think its the same. OFNA is the USA/Canada equivalent of HOBAO.

Stripped her down completly, the rear bearing seemed nice and smooth and tight but on closer insp found the cage where the balls sit had a crack in it, replaced the bearing and all is good now, just hope i can get it sealed 100%.

Ok still tight with the old flywheel on, so will invest in a jumbo tube of sealer and do a complete strip down. What is the best way to remove old sealer that is stuck to the various parts?
