My speedo does not work, so what I had to do is get my girlfriend to drive beside me in the XJ and give me the thumbs up when we reached 190mph. THe problem was, when her speed limiter cut in at 110, I just went cruisin ahead of her until I tached out at 7.5grand. I figured it was about 185 or 190mp...

it started back up tonight first try. I set the timing and it idles nice and smooth. I'm going to take it out tomorrow and see how it performs. Too dark tonight to get out to check for leaks and crap.

I am most def getting into RC Crawling, but have to gather parts. There is a good thread on rccrawler.com on what parts you need for the newbie to get started. All the parts are like a couple hundred $$, and then you have to buy a chasis for at lease $200. I'm going to plan on buying clod axles and ...

Dang, something I just thought about while eatin dinner tonight. When all this happened on the highway, I should have just pulled each individual spark plug wire off and cranked the motor until I found the cyl that was the prob. Then I could've just driven to big dogs on 7 cyl's and ran some trails ...

Yotacowboy, I might swap in a 22RE actually. Them TieYota engines run long, long time. Oh, yeah, how'd your rig do at big dogs, I didn't see you up there? Haynes manual didn't say anything about temp of the motor, so I guess it doesn't matter. Pulled all the pushrods out and they are fine. Gettin re...

This hasn't ever happened to me before, but the valves were ticking pretty bad and I adjusted them per the haynes manual the other day and now the engine sounds like it wants to stall when idling. (I tightened the nylock nuts until there was a slight drag and then cranked down on them 3/4 of a turn ...

sweet, who bought it? When they picked it up?

I don't have one yet, but really want to get one. I have a friend that has 2wd and 4wd gas road cars that I've driven and now I want a crawler really bad. I don't know too much about them as in what kind of chasis they sell, and suspension and that stuff, but I'd love to do some fab work on a custom...

Came across this video on RCCrawler.com and it is crazy.
