They are the badlands. The pro kit came with the crime fighters which work good on dirt tracks, but most of the tracks here in okinawa japan are grass. The badlands work great in the grass and on top soil. Looks like your running Bowties? Have you seen the Bowtie MTRs?

Nice! You paint it yourself?

I wish!! it was done by urban kolor legends

Oh cool! Well, I am going to paint up a new body this weekend. I will post pics when finished.

Madf350highlift

Yeah i wanna get rid of these tires they r to wide, get a set of those badlands or the mtr's

i just realized i had a big finger print smudge on my lens, lol

Turboprop130

what size motor are you running and what size clutch bell? I like those carbon fiber shock towers!

Madf350highlift

picco .26 with a 12 tooth bell housing gear

I'm running the LRP .28 Spec 3 with 15 tooth CB and JP1 pipe. I thought about buying a picco for my t-maxx, had any problems with that picco motor?

Madf350highlift

It's awsome just cause it's a .21 block but .26 piston and crank and what not so great power light block, u can really see the difference when u look at the exaust outlet such a thin outer wall

ok my jammin is keep blowing shocks on the both rear side ! so I rebuilt the shocks with fresh pistons and o rings. holds up for few minutes but the bottom part ( e clips and the o rings) just pops out . i have tried with 60, 40 oils but no luck. Any ideas??? shaft seems to be straigtht....
ansd what are the recommendations on the smaller tight turn hard clay tracks? (indoor) diff oils,,, shock oils...
thanks !

I haven't had any problems with blowing out shocks, and I run my truggy hard. Just make sure the e-clips are seated and spread out inside the bottom of the shock body. Also make sure you have the right plastic spacers inbetween the o-rings. I also use associated green slime on my shock o-rings. As far as tire's for clay, I would go for the proline pre mounted holeshot MTR 1/2 in offset. They come with molded foams and are ribbed inside to prevent ballooning. Proline part number 1133-14. I have messed around with many diff oils and I have come up with 10K front, 30K center, and 5k rear as being the best handling IMO. I tried 50K in the center and it was to much power to the rear. With tight turns make your wheelbase short by moving the two rear hub spacers to the rear.

Here's some new pics of the body I just painted this weekend. What do you think?

Turboprop130

looks good bro, I know it's pain taping stuff off and using spray cans. I really like the carbon fiber.

docphysics

Thanks dude! Yea, I kind of botched up the carbon fiber. But I know what I did wrong, so the next time I try it, it will look better. Yea, masking is a pain. It took me about 6 hours of prep and painting, but I think it turned out pretty cool for only the second body I ever painted.

hey dudes i hit a tree head on this weekend after hitting a jump on the track a bit crooked.

I broke the graphite chassis brace, body post, shock mounting screw and shock shaft.

It also made the bottom of my shock body just slightly out of round, think this is a problem? if i just replace the washers and o rings think it will be ok? or should i just order a new shock body

docphysics

You can try it, and see if it leaks oil. I would imagine that it would leak, maybe very slowly, so you might end up replacing it eventually.

anyone using lipo for their receivers? any noticable gain in speed and power between 6v nimh and lipo? I see the regulators for the 6v and 7v....with 5 amp and 7amp.....any ideas? thanks

unlmtd vert

my center universals seem to where out pretty fast. both the univerals side and pin side. i've tried a couple of lubes with no improvement. does anyone know of a set of shafts from a different manufacturer that are made of a harder metal and will fit.
thanks

love runnin my jammin x-1crt at my local track. it's the ringer when i bring it out. but i'm goin through the breakage phase of the truck. ya know when you break the same stuff a couple of times till you figure out a way to keep it from happening again.

My Feedback: (1)

What's the best motor I could buy for the X1 CRT to get the best speed and acceleration for under $250?

I was looking for something around .28 or .21.

Thanks!
