The TT-01 went to a good buddy of mines, and he gave me this guy. :nod:

Quick Run Down:

Steel Turnbuckles
Steel? Aluminum? Bushings
0.12 Nitro Star HPI Puny Block engine
Old belts
Custom Tensioners

Engine is unbelievably old, yet it starts in 1 pull when its warm out, maybe 5 when its cold out. Clutch is fine, brakes work, stops in 3 inches from full speed.

Hmm, what body ish this?

You don't have to take 2 pics of the .15 sticker to rub it in. Saying it once is enough. :'(

Go clean your air filter and give me your rear diff. NOW.

My 3 of rear diff teeth are chipped. :( I think I need a new glow plug. It will idle for maybe 10 seconds, shut off. Wants to idle, but then shuts off after.
