Made a start on it yesterday by removing the engine and stivcking it into the T-Maxx... Gave my chassis a good old cleaning ( badly needed it was) :eek:
Put on the Dual Brake discs 9 Must slacken them a bit as they feel tight)
Progressed to the next stage and :eek: :mad:

Looks like it is going to be unfinished for a short time..

Now that looks class, I thought I'd never see it done:D But now it is and the end result is cracker. More performance parts than bling bling, I like that;)

BFassassin · 13-07-2006 09:12PM

If you are talking about the red "thing" that is a little fuel cutoff clip" Squeeze it and it stops the fuel going into the engine.
If you are talking about the blue cylinder.then that is an inline filter.

Glad you like it
I wasnt sure about the color when I did it but now that is it "decorated " It doesnt look too bad ( even if i say so myself :rolleyes: )

BFassassin · 13-07-2006 09:17PM

i was on about the blue cylinder. is there really a need for one though. i dont have one on my revo. also is the new air filter good i dont really like the way you have to clean and re-oil the stock one
