not mad about the color, just not my thing. i would have tried to get some of the shade on the spoiler worked into it aswell as the one on it. nice truck though. i'm thinking of trying something a bit diff with a bodyshell. i wanna get a snakeskin type effect on it.

Well. if anyone on here is thikning of Putting the same shell as I did...Think again..

I wondered why that particular one is not that popular on Revo's
If I wanted it to fit 100% I would have to remove the roll bar as it hits the roof of the shell...But to remove that is a No No for me..

soak in nitro but that stuff is a rareity around here.
i might have to get a fuel filter then i dont want a new engine just yet

Do you ever have a drop left in the bottle after an outing? Maybe that little drop you sucked out of the tank? use that

Alternatively.. I guess you could give it a goo soaking with WD40 .. then squeeze it out..repeating this a few times should do the job..then add a few drops of filter oil.;)

wahey its done my lieks tho the green on the shell... I dont like ;-/ i would of liked it if it was evil green like the wing and fuel line, then had blue like the a arms, and finaly yellow stipes between the blue and green, alas, like the tires
thats just my opinion, over all, its still very nice good job

Yup.
I thought the green was going to be more like the Hyper 7 spoiler so I was a bit dissapointed when it arrived.:o
So I decided then to just go one color all over.

Well done on the 3.3

Yeah. I was unsure about the wheels myself but i had a good idea in my mind which way I was headed so could visualize the end result.;) and as you said. when it all came together it worked out ok. :cool:

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

Very Important to use a Fuel Filter,
Picture this scenario.
You are out having fun in a field with your Nitro RC.
use a tankfull.. use another one.. Now the Truck is getting dusty. you need to open the fuel cap to refill when one or two tiny particles of dust/sand falls in to the tank without you noticing...:o
The same particles work their way up the fuel line and in through the carburator...and into your lovely shiny cylinder when suddenly it works its way down the side of the piston and.... :eek:
Engine trashed...
Picture the same scenario with a fuel filter fitted..

All Air filters must be cleaned and oiled..but that is a simple 2 minute job.. Soak it in nitro and oil it up again...Done in a flash

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;)

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: )

looks class vectra what is this on the fuel line in this picture

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.
