  1. My money is on a Yokomo, https://rcworld.us/rc-1-10-drift-mazda-rx7-toyo-tires-yokomo-awd-chassis-w-gyro-led-rtr/
  2. Have you tried google image search? Sometimes you can be lucky.
  3. You should feel the manifold touching the gasket as you push it in, so an interference fit. Otherwise your just relying on the faceplate seal. Sometimes you can cut one gasket down and double up, one on top the other, on the engine, but depends on thickness. A spring that looks stretched or is very easy to put could also be part of the problem. Unfortunately exhaust manifolds and engines vary in their sizes.
  4. I've always found the HPI gaskets to be thicker, https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/109078/
  5. If the servo isnt rated for 7.4v then your 2s li rx battery is probably the reason why the servos have died, but you also need to set the servo end points, Setting end points means setting the points where the servo stops moving left or right. If the servo moves more then your steering/throttle can turn, then the servo components will be under stress causing electronics to over heat and potentially stripping gears. Your receiver also needs to be rated for 7.4v.
  6. Cant tonight. The TRX esc has the new ID connectoer and the adpater has the old TRX connector with XT90 on the other end. Plenty of info out there such as this.
  7. I'm using an adapter for my TRX4 esc which has same TRX connector and fits on the TRX4 esc TRX connector. The old TRX connectors fit the new TRX connectors.
  8. traxxas esc to nimh tamiya? https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/412931
  9. Not sure but if you press plus or minus whilst charging then the display should show the voltage for each cell, which will reach 4.2v when fully charged. The charge rate will significantly decrease the closer it gets to full charge as the charger will use it's balance lead to ensure each cell reaches 4.2v. you can get cheap battery voltage tester which plugs into balance lead for testing lipo pack condition.

    Traxxas Maxx Slash

    USA/GBP exchange rate isnt what it used to be and UK 20% VAT, US has on average 5-7% sales tax and this is added at checkout so not added to the display price, it is what it is.
  11. Improvemnet depends if you want to use the additionals features such as extra channels, extra model memories, alarm if left on, key mapping, 4WS, etc.
  12. I've installed custom firmware on GT3B and GT3C and your previous settings will be overwritten.
  13. Depends if you want to try and get it going and if it was running well last time. Take the cooling head off and the head button with glow plug. You can then hopefully see down into the crankcase, unless stuck at TDC, if you can then fill it with some fresh nitro fuel and leave it over night. If still not turning over then take backplate off, try heating engine, spray WD40, and use flywheel to turn it over, rocking back/forth. Usually the residual nitro oil dries up in a stored engine. I've recently got a Fastrax Enduro 21 engine and performs well in a 1/8 buggy and dont see why it wouldnt fit.
  14. Personally I think C ratings are made up numbers as there isnt a standard method to determine this rating. I assume you are using about a 2000Kv motor and 150A esc.
  15. I recently got these Zeee 3s to fit savage flux, they fit the older style battery boxes and perform well.
