hello i am derrick and while i am new to this forum, i am not new to rc in general. my question has to do with my electric 4tec and a motor i have for it. i am trying to widen it to 200mm and trying to put as many nitro 4tec parts on it for the sake of it will be easier to purchase parts. also do any of yall know of a non traxxas car that has parts that fit the 4tec? i dont know if it rumor or what but i heard some guys as my lhs talking about it and i didnt want to get the parts, unwrap them, and not be able to take them back.

i want to really replace the diffs front and back with the nitro ones the most because they hold up the best. next i really want to know about this motor i have in the attached pics. i need to know if any yall have used it and if it is rebuildable. it was a good motor while it lasted. if you guys can help me with these things it would be great to point me to a walkthrough and the partnumbers or urls to buy them.

please refrain from saying things like "sell it and buy ______" or things like that cause it doesnt help anyone. i am a seasoned drifter but i am new to rebuilding motors.

hope yall can help

My best advice would be this -

1. Get a hold of that nitro car's manual that shares parts with your 4tec.
2. Make sure that you've got the manual for your car also.
3. Read the nitro manualthoroughly, and look at the parts that you want off that kit.
4. Re-read the manual for your 4tec, and compare it side-by-side against the nitro manual.

Finally, cross-reference the part numbers against the nitro manual on each page, and double check your kit's manual to look very carefully to verify that the nitro parts will fit.

On each page, take the time to look for any connecting parts that completely look the same; that means the part will fit. The main thing to look for are different parts - from one instruction set on the page to the other - and see if there is anything that will stop the part or smack it into something else.

Get the nitro manual and study it; it could possibly reinforce what you have heard at your LHS.

I'm big on Tamiya, and the TamiyaUSA web site has a cross-reference parts list search, although it's huge and not as easy as HPI's cross-reference chart (which is easier to read).

Good luck on your endeavor!
