doh! too much torque :-)

hey all,
this just happened at 6:49pm last night while i was out tuning my tnx. it was fkn awesome and ripped up the dirt and when i drove thru the wer grass i had like 5m high water rooster tails! lol. half way thru the tank i notice i could slam throttle but no take off. i turned off engine, came inside and found this after taking my tranny apart:

what is left of my slipper clutch:D

tnx mods again!

ok gang, here are my latest racing and bashing mods for the truck.

basic bashing mod (to add more weight to front of car for improved steering and also allows for another fuel tank to be installed in spot where receiver/switch box was):



racing mod (installing the fuel tank upfront where the receiver/switch box was which adds more weight to front for even more improved steering and also better jump/air control, will hopefully stop nose high jumps):


also with my 1:1 petrol buggy/atv, it turns out SOMEONE killed the damn accelerator system so now we have no throttle control. hopefully on monday the teacher will have bought the chain and i will hook up the whole system and also get the throttle working again by ripping out the wire from inside the tube/housing and placing strong fishing line inside it so then it has room to move about and can now acutally move the throttle lever

there goes the engine!

well not really, the engine didnt exactly explode or anything like that, but the compression got so high that when it turned over a blast of burning hot fuel and liquid scalded my hand. ALSO, the front engine case bearing (7x19x6mm) has ruptured and created a damn leak! now the engine cant get a proper tune and is basically useless. I already got a replacement bearing on its way in the mail from the US via ebay since i cant be stuffed paying like $40 bucks AUD for a single bearing, what a rip off!

and i cant wait to tune and get my teams 1:1 petrol buggy/atv vehicle up and running. all is needed is the chain and the brake setup, but someone ruined the throttle linkage and now we have no throttle control from the foot level, just great!

tnx mod test drive

well after doing all those mods n stuff to my truck i finally got it 2gether and gave it a run for its life. bloody hell.

this is what you get with a tnx 5.2r running at less than half a tank which is tuned a bit lean and suffered abit from half tank empty lean syndrome, lol!

enjoy!

I GOT MY PC BACK!

hey! got my pc back all done up and hooked up to a 1kg cpu chip cooler, lol. no more overheating problems! ha!

well i just got a bearing that i ordered for my tnx after i killed the front engine case bearing. i cant wait to install it and get the brute running! wheelie time!!!!!!!!!!!

school

hi peoples,
at skool now and god, sose is so boring and now were getting a damn lecture about our first task. great, due in 1 weeks time and its a dead boring task; hyperlinking a document to like 50 other documents. hmm, should be easy. 9 min til end of class! then hello science and i didnt do my science homework :-0

anyways, i'm after a fuel tank for my tnx 5.2r which is more than 130cc and is like kind of a square box shape.

let me know if you got one!

ok, after a bit of debating about the fuel tank mod and it not working i decided to put it back to original position or i shall buy a different fuel tank and then mod it to fit onto the tnx. i will thus remove the fuel tank mod from my posts.

apparently fuel line tubing is heat resistant so if it touches the engine cooling head nothing bad should happen such as it melting but i aint exactly convinced. time for testing it out. well i cant test out my truck til i get a front case bearing which i ordered off ebay and should be in the mail very soon.

so, whats the next mod i shall do??? post replies if you wanna know anything about the truck or the mods i did.

ok, on with the pics!

heres my work bench:

heres my fuel tank protector mod (for crashes):

heres my super strong antenna tube mod (so the antenna wire doesnt get damaged or ripped off):

heres my roll bar mod (just looks beefier):

heres my wheelie bar mod (can make the truck wheelie down the whole street!):

heres my front bumper mod (just for bashing):

heres my exhaust mod (cut a bit of the tip off and drilled out a few mm of the stinger):

hey

well i just had my PC taken away for t


he weekend since some guys are gonna be installing cooling stuff in it and also with my request got some 'special' programs. cough "hacks" cough, lol!

anyways, heres a little intro bout myself:

i was born 20th Nov 1991 in Perth and lived my early life in Meekatharra where my family worked at a gold mine. 8 years later i moved to Perth permanently and have just loved this place. I went to attadale primary for years 3 and 4 and then went to all saints college for yr 5 and and still been there and am now in yr 10, woo hoo! I have many interesting hobbies such as shooting, RC model cars/trucks/buggies/planes/water craft, I am into techy stuff such as PC's n games. i like to watch Heroes, Mythbusters, Top Gear, HPI and Tamiya vids (lol!) and my fave movie is maybe blood diamond.

i currently own 2 hobby grade RC vehicles. a HPI Pro 4 Hara Spec car which is a onroad touring car which runs off a battery and i also got a Tamiya TNX 5.2r truck which is a really big monster truck that runs on the fuel that those drag racing cars use (only less).

My best and fave mates would have to be, ummm, well i got heaps and heaps of best mates and i cant choose who is my best best mate as i reckon its kinda mean to have a mate thats better than all ur other mates and for them to read this and find out that they're not my bestest mate is kinda sad for them.

oh well, heres a few pics of my RC bits and i'll post more pics as i do more mods.

hi peeps, my first blog ever!

i never thought i would ever have my own blog website thing and i cant believe that i had to do this at 12:20am in the morning, LOL! crazy, i know. ah well, just cant get to sleep for sum reason and what else is there to do?
