jordanp Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 my car was second hand and had no flag so never really bothered about it as most of the time i run it without the body on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpet Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) Lots of links keeps them coming qrc!! Cheers for the vids Sean confirms how I was gonna do it. Although I see he moved the roll bar where as I just sanded the edges of the tank slightly at the joints should be fine though. (I hope Lols) Don't think I'll bother with a flag though just another thing to brake. But that body clip I WANT ONE!! Maybe we should get some between us save on the postage. Unless anyone can find them in the uk Edited March 19, 2014 by Morpet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'm in for getting afew key bits overseas etc.. How did you mount the tank dude? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpet Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) I posted some pics on a previous page. I had to sand the edges a little on the seems not to much though and drilled 4 holes in the chassis. To mark the holes I used kebab sticks cut down and pushed into the holes on the tank put tip ex on the ends and carefully pushed the tank down on the chassis it's a tight fit but seems good. Just waiting for some nice blue fuel line to turn up now. I did think about moving the roll bar but though it would prob be best left where it was.

jari Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 http://www.ruberkon.com/rc-spare-parts/cars/nitro-fuel-car/sledge-hammer-s50-spare-parts.html?p=2 Don't forget to look for both Thunder tiger s50 and Team Associated MGT parts. Wheelspin have quite a bit of stock: http://www.wheelspinmodels.co.uk/c/347/ The importers/distributors for Team Associated are I believe CML: MGT 8.0 option parts: http://www.cmldistribution.co.uk/cml_category.php?catId=0000000076 CML list the RPM arms The rpm knuckles are the same as the tmaxx ones. : http://www.cmldistribution.co.uk/cml_product.php?range=RACING&productId=0000001042 See the RPM site: http://www.rpmrcproducts.com/products/assoc/AssocMGT.htm - again, all the products listed are for Associated MGT... but this is the same truck as the S28/S50. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpet Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Well springs are first on my list can't decide on red or copper. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animal47 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I must be the only person that has stuck with stock springs even with the added weight of a cage. I did change to reds all round years ago but it would just grip roll all the time, I found a soft set up stopped any problems although my set up wouldn't be any good for jumping.Sent from my HTC One max using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my HTC One max using Tapatalk That seems strange to me. I was under the impression that harder springs would make it slide more rather than roll. (Correct me I'm wrong guys). It worked on bullet anyway as that was always rolling on stock springs but since I added harder springs it was sliding a lot more than rolling. It worked on my ssk too when I added extra shock spacers. Could we get some more opinions on this guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
