here are a few picks of my truck with some of the mods.. and cleaning. the mods are Fuel line, Fuel filter & the
Exhaust Deflector. this is my 1st nitro truck. so im going slow with some of the mods.. ill be getting in a air filter soon so ill add some pics of that when i get it installed..

kuppler

OO yea if anyone wants some good looking fuel lines like mine. Ill make them for you Cheap....just PM me and we can talk. Thanks.. Adam

I like the lines, are they steel? I hope it isn't exposed on the inside to the fuel. Rust will develop and get in the engine.

What truck is that?

kuppler

Hello,
The fuel lines are Braided Sleeving Mesh. They are just covers over the Reg. fuel line. with HEAT SHRINK at the ends. So i wont be getting Rust in the Engine. The Truck is a AMax THWARTER. its an upgrade from the Redcat Volcano SV... check out this post i put up when i 1st got my truck..... http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_64...tm.htm#6471832

if you mean upgraded air filter like k&n?? If so do not waste your money. Those filters do not work well and let dirt through...

kuppler

hello, no im not upgradein the air filter to an K&N.. im going with an Alloy Air Filter... check the pic out.. thats what im geting

Nick2618

K good. Just did not want you to fall victim to the k&n scam. It works good in real cars but not rc.

kuppler

Yea i had one in My slammed Acura integra... and it worked GOOD.... but all the rc cars/truck i see them on are more for show and not racing or bashing around.

ehroof

looks great bro, by the way guys stainless steel doesnt rust.

How will you know when the engine is primed without being able to see the fuel travel through the cables?

kuppler

i have alrdy thought about that before i put the new fuel line in. so i did a lil test. i drained my tank. filled it up, put my finger over the Exhaust and pulled the starter.about 3-5 pulls and its good to go.i did that test 6 times and the avr.was about 3-5 pulls and it was Primed..

How much did the truck cost you? btw nice rims

cen123

I'm pretty sure that's a copy of a Volcano. Not an upgrade.

kuppler

the truck cost me a lil over $120 its prity good for my 1st nitro.....im new to the nitro world so i like it alot....

kuppler

Cen123,
yes your right is a Copy or an upgrade of the Volcano SV.

kuppler

i installed my air filter today..... heres some pics.. ill have more lil mods later....

cen123

Do parts on that truck break often and where did you buy it?

kuppler

i have had it for about a month or so... and i havnt had anything brake on it yet. just a few screws come out and small things. i got it off of E-Bay. and 99.9% of the parts you can get from Redcat. the truck is the same as a Redcat Volcano SV.......

look for parts on rcmart.com they have decent prices

I was thinking either the volcano or a 1/8. I'm not that hard on the truck and the 1/10 can be upgraded more so do you think I should just get the 1/10?

kuppler

i like my 1/10... even tho its not a Volcano SV but named something els.. wne i go to my LHS i tell them its a REDCAT Volcano SV. cuz they know Redcat even tho they dont cary items for it. but they know what truck it is. and there is ALOT of upgrades for it too...

cen123

Yeah. I haven't really found many upgrades for the 1/8 and that will use A LOT more fuel than the 1/10.

kuppler

yea i like the 1/10 scale alot...
