Default Who ran what? 8/17/09

Ok, who ran what? I ran the 2 new corr trucks some more and the rxb, posted some pics in the picture thread and made some video, i just have to figure out how to convert from dvd to wmv in a good quality and find a program to do it.

Here are a couple of pics:

Over the weekend I tried to start my Tower Terror a couple of times but it would never run for more then a second and then it would cut out. But my MTR-3 started on the first few pulls and I ran a few tanks through it and did a lot of jumping. It has to be the most stable truck I've ever driven, it seems like it corrects itself in midair!

Eddie, if you need to get a video off a DVD and change it to a format you need HandBrake is the best way to go in my opinion. [link]http://handbrake.fr[/link]

I have to agree with you, that mtr is a nice truggy and alot of fun.  I am happy to hear you had fun with it, it does handle great in the air.  Check the plug on your terror, thats usually the first place i check. 

I just downloaded your program and will let you know how it works out.

I changed the plug in the Terror, blew through the pressure line to clear any clogs in the fuel lines, and I know that my glow plug charger and fuel are good because they work fine with my MTR-3. I think the problem is the engine. It's been horrible from the beginning, and almost everyone I know who has a Tower Terror has problems with it. Maybe I'll call Tower Hobbies tomorrow and see if they can replace it under warranty with a different engine...

Great to hear that it worked for you! I doubt they'll replace the engine with one that almost costs as much as the entire truck! I'm hoping to get and Axial .28 since I've heard good things about them from a lot of people. [8D]

Good to know.

Edit: I called Tower Hobbies and they just told me to check what I've already checked and that I would probably have to send then engine in. I don't really want to do this because I know they'll just send me another bad engine. So which engine do you guys think is better, the Axial .28 or the SH .28?
