HI,Guys and Girls,Just like to hear from you on what you have done to you'r TNX ?
What HOPUPS would you like to see?

[RC-Monster Mike]

I have installed universals on the front axles, aluminum chassis braces and hinge pin braces, aluminum steering draglinks, revo wheels with modified bowties. What hop-ups would you like to see?

Hi, Mike I have put on you'r Aluminum Chassis Braceon. I have Piggy back MSR5 shocks with 50 oil. I also have a Nw Era Racing Big Tube Header,MGT Pipe and and O.S. .18CV-RX Engine.I just got Pro-line Velocity 6 offset wheels.I am still out on witch tires to go with ( Pro-line maxx masher, Losi zombie-maxx ,Imex dirt dawg, trail dawg).I would like to know how the imex savage 7301 pipe would be compair to the MGT pipe for power.Any info would be great!!
Thank you,
Daniel Murray

I haven't used any of those pipes. the Zombie maxx tires are nice. It is a tough call between those and the mashers. They hook up pretty well and look cool. For the shocks, I would use the single hole pistons and 80-100 weight oil for more dampening. The shocks are super smooth, but the piston holes are large and need heavy oil for good dampening. I have the same motor in a t-maxx, with the THS pipe. The stock motor is still in my TNX. I have no complaints with the original motor at all.

Hi,How do you like you'r THS pipe ? I am looking to get the most out of my truck ! Did you see any improvement with the THS pipe and if so where ?
They say That MGT pipe is tune ? but I can not see how when it is Hollow inside!
Hope you can help me out?:confused:
Thank you

Hi, Mike I would like to know if I used dual rate springs on my MSR5 shocks.Do you think I will still need 80-100 weight oil.Do you think I will need the single hole pistons.I am Using the two hole piston now.I also have 50 weight oil in them now.But I do have 70 weight oil also.
Thank you,

I like the THS pipe. I use it on my t-maxx with the O.S .18 motor. I haven't tried other pipes on this particular motor, so I can't make a real comparison. the motor and pipe combo runs like hell, though!
I think you will want to go with heavier oil and single hole pistons even with the dual rate springs. The springs only effect how quickly the shocks rebound and the ride height to a degree, all in relation to the dampening level provided by the shocks. Try the 70 weight and see what you think. Everybody will have their own preferences with this stuff. Also, sorry it took so long to reply. Iactually replied a couple days ago, but my computer crashed before the post made the board and I forgot to come back to re-post it.

Hi, I have put 70wt. shock oil in my MSR5 shocks. I have notice that my shocks do not rebound back all the way up when I push on the truck.Compare to when I had 50wt.shock oil. I did put the dual rate springs on and and they help.But in all my truck is lot better than when I had the stock MSR5 springs on.Much better than my stock shocks.
Is this normal!!!:cool:

Dan,
You will find that the truck handles much better if the shocks don't rebound all the way to full extension. It is a good thing! I run my trucks with the a-arms just about level. This allows the suspension to dip into a rut or absorb a bump without upsetting the chassis. Perfectly normal.

Thank you :D

My pleasure.

I bought my TNX from Mike, then I bought the tires from RD-Logics that are similar to Bow-ties. I have a fail-safe and a venom heat meater thing. I am planing on getting the aluminum universals, chasie brace, and a new cooling head because i have lost the first layer of fins on the original head.

That is why O.S has put a heavy duty new head on the motor for the TNX.Check this out

This is the new Pro TNX

Thanks for the link, looks like a nice cooling head. Kind of makes me wish I had waited and bought the PRO TNX.

That cooling head is from an O.S. .18CV-R engine.Go look at my truck in the Gallery IT is under Daniel Murray.
You can do the hop ups as you go.Also talk to Mike from RC Monster he is geat to deal with!!! He will help you get your truck how you want it.:D
