Proud Pappa.I know how you feel.I added an external charging jack to mine because I leave the body on all the time to help keep it clean.

That thing is COOL!! I just got my Monster Buggy from tower hobbies today, I can't Wait till it stops raining and drys up to take that big beast outside to play!

[sofasticantseeit]

Dave- yeah, my pack lasts a long time. The only thing I need to relocate is the on/off switch. I cant get to it with the body on it.

Wolf- Glad to see you join the club bro. You will love it. If youo have any questions, we will do our best to help ya out.

Nice! So where're the action Pics? I'll post mine soon. So how much difference in performance was there when you changed to the Tuned Pipe and V-stack with K&N? You might try to get a gallon of 110 Octane raceGas from a local Dirtbike shop to see if it might improve performance too, i did and it seems like i gained alittle more rpm along with some Xtra torque even with the stock muffler box. Keep up the good work!-Matt

I solved that one also.The switch that came with my radio has a hole in it.I simply bent a stiff paper clip in a Z bend to go thru that hole then ran the paper clip up into the cabin area with it supported at the servo plate screw by a piece of plastic.Now I can charge AND turn the MB on without ever removing the body.

Good idea. I might have to come up with something like it.

I had to retune the carb with the new filter settup. I run 108 octaine right now, with the lower gear set for even more torque.

WE are working on making some oval wings for it. I will post some pics as things progress.

what is the piece between the filter and the stack? thing looks nice!!

[sofasticantseeit]

Its some kinda flexible plumbing peice from Home Depot I think I found it in the toilet section. I spent about 1hr there looking around for stuff I could use. With this, I can bend it to whatever deg. I wish. Although, I think it effected the airflow to the carb, as it was really rich afterwards.

As for the title of this rhead,, we actually got to race 5 monsters out at Rosewood R/C Speedway this past weekend and when we hit the track,, you shoulda seen them 1/8th scale buggies run for cover!!! Chicken hearted buggers!!! Even the 1/10th gas trucks all ran off the track!!! We all kept hearing how they (the monsters) wouldn't make it around the track,, how they wouldn't be able to make the turns. We all showed them,,, drove around it,, over it,, and I even went over some of them.. That's probably why they ran off,,,, Get this,,, as big as they are,, we ran 5 minute heats,, and we turned the same amount of laps as the electric buggies and trucks!!! Not too bad for a track designed for "smaller" vehicals,,,,

OOOMMMPPPAAA!!!

WAY TO GO RON! WoooHooo 5 MBs! COOL! Where are you from Ron? I belive that My Dad and I own the Only 2 MBs in Arizona right now, i hope that changes, cause i'm ALL-FOR a 1/6 Offraod Racecless to develope somewhere in the US. In Germany there is such a class and from what i understand, it's very competetive too...points system, big races and all. Same with bigScale Onraod too, it jus seems to be catching the US.-Matt

[sofasticantseeit]

Ron- thats KILLER!! I took the MB to the track today, with the same luck as you. I was really pleased with how well it did. I took it over doubles, washboards and dirt oval. The only thing holding me back was rear end traction. I think I may put some screws int he tires to help it out a bit. Everytime I got on it just a lil, it would fish tail on me. But other than that, I had a blast!
