I meant around 15-16 with the m2k's and 5800ss, 17 should be fine with regular tires.

If you are needing to buy more pinions it would be wise to just buy a set of odd or even tooth sizes then you have a variety to work with. I am only estimating the gearing too.

Well here's my new toy; 1990 Civic DX. picked it up off a friend for 95$, working on painting it up right now. After paint I will be doing cold air intake+hood scoop, chop off the exhaust, eventually an obnoxiously large wing.

HAHA thats great

microrcdude

12-19-2005, 11:23 PM

are you gonna drive it on the street?

pudder

12-19-2005, 11:29 PM

No I won't drive it on the street regularly since it isn't licenced. I will drive it mostly on backroads and fields since I live in rural area. I would have to pay the friend I got it from to licence it since it is not saftied. I might put it on the road but I doubt it since I just chopped off the exhaust and it just has headers now. :D I also got the black and yellow finished on the paint. I will get a # on there ASAP. The paint actually turned out pretty good for spray cans.

I plan on taking it for a rip tomorrow!

ok pudd, ill have like $30 on the forst, and wonder what RPM parts i shoud get for my t3?? :confused:

12-20-2005, 07:50 PM

I just put some MIP cvds on my T3. It was originally a sport version that had dogbones. These cvds seem as though they are too long. They bind when the suspension id fully compressed. Is there a fix for this. I've tried using the shims in different positions but they still bind.

thanx :)

microrcdude

12-20-2005, 10:14 PM

are you running bushings or bearings?

scoob

12-20-2005, 11:50 PM

here it is (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXAW91&P=7)

I'm runniing bearings.

The thing is, the binding is happening when the wheels are raised so that the suspension is compressed. It's like the bones are too long.

12-22-2005, 11:53 PM

maybe tomorrow. I havent got around to pics yet my rims are all full of snow too :) I welded a cherry bomb that bolts onto the exhaust header so it is still pretty loud but it has some backpressure at least.

I made a very tight track around my yard for my civic by snowblowing with my tractor. The top speed on the track is around 40 km/h avg about 20km/h. Some of the turns are pretty crazy!

GT Freak

12-27-2005, 08:47 PM

got to drive my new t3 today...it only flipped twice in a whole bat pack
impressions:
great tires
suspension is soft but it seems to like it that way!
body is cool enough for me. who needs a rear wing??

fried my esc today...damn water puddles >:

added two hop ups to it,off my broken b3...RPM gear cover and front bumper!! i like the idea of black and yellow together tho...so i think thats gonna be my bodys colors! black with neon yellow flames on it.(i think)WAIT, i got it...im making the STRYPERMOBILE!! yea thats it....cool! LOLOL

GT Freak

01-07-2006, 10:59 AM

Since im the only 1 that seems to like posting on here, ill just keep doing it!

well, just picked up a used t3 for $50. Now both me and my friend jason can play together!

GT Freak

01-10-2006, 12:01 AM

since my b3 is black and blue,my t3 will be yellow and black :) so im going with the following:

neon yellow:
ball ends
antena tube
rear blocks
gear cover
front+rear bumper
wheels

im not missing anything am i :confused:

pudder

01-12-2006, 09:50 AM

Shock preload spacers and nylon nuts.

microrcdude

01-12-2006, 06:21 PM

pudder only you would have nylon nuts

GT Freak

01-12-2006, 06:42 PM

LOLOLOL good one!

Rtsbasic

01-13-2006, 08:52 AM

Neon yellow/black works nice. My old B3 had pretty much everything RPM in yellow, even a yellow/orange paint job to go with it. Although blue/yellow/clear/black is a nice combo as well :)

GT Freak

01-13-2006, 04:23 PM

well, i got sick of a clear body,have no paint, BUT do have perm markers........so...behold...

pudder

01-13-2006, 04:27 PM

Go get some paint you bum.

GT Freak

01-13-2006, 04:33 PM

besides we all know BLUE IS FASTEST!! :cool:

Rtsbasic

01-13-2006, 05:37 PM

"Blue is better", according to LRP :)

Btw if anyone remebers my T3 I posted in the summer..it exists no more. Its more of a hybrid car now, got parts from all sorts of cars going onto it.

GT Freak

01-14-2006, 05:37 PM

so,whats left of it??

Rtsbasic

01-14-2006, 07:47 PM

It still has a T3 chassis, and tranny. Got a lexan top plate, the steering has been hybrid with an RC10GT's steering support so its freer/doesn't rely on the top plate to clamp it down. The front end is a mix of Losi/Duratrax/Jato parts that somehow all work together. I might turn it back to proper T3, I used it to experiment with parts for the front while I was making the chassis for my T2 based basher, and thats finished and running now.

pudder

01-16-2006, 01:23 PM

eww losi parts on a t3 :(

microrcdude

01-18-2006, 07:31 PM

^^^ you read my mind.

What i dont get is why losi racers use associated shocks and some associated rivers use losi shocks

Rtsbasic

01-19-2006, 08:15 AM

Each to their own I guess, I am loyal to AE because they design good cars, but I will happily use parts off any manufacture on my car if it make it in any way better (and that includes losi parts).

GT Freak

01-20-2006, 05:33 PM

has anyone tried this :confused: take your b3,and put the t3 front mount,and wheels on it for short,tight track track racing :confused:

I have pics and I doubt I will get a vid for a while because I have no windshield so it will be a bit cold in the winter.

Oh ya and it was damn fun rolling it!

GT Freak

01-29-2006, 07:50 AM

well, got some new parts on my truck..looking cooler :cool: now!

microrcdude

gt, get pics, i wanna see it!

Pudder, just get some plexi-glass for a front windshield. Much cheaper and safer than a real glass windshield

pudder

01-29-2006, 08:10 PM

I will get pics up soon. My internet is having trouble lately so I havent been on much.

I got some plexi glass but I dont know if I will use it for the car. I would rather snowmobile in the winter and there are lots of rabbits to chase around here :D.

Time to get this thread going again.

I'd recommend Road Rage tyres - they hook up nicely for me onroad and slightly dusty surfaces, with RPM wheels and a T4 body.

I've been working on a few mods for my B3/T3..attached are some pics of the parts on my B3, but I'm modifying my T3 in the same way. Essentially the upper plate is replaced with a flat brace made of lexan, using some GT parts to support the steering. Once this is done, you can modify the chassis slightly to gain more steering, and obviously its a near indestructable setup. I've also re-done the front suspension for smoother surfaces with a more laydown, progressive travel. There's a few other mods there as well, but i'll leave you to spot them :) Been running the B3 with this steering/brace setup for 3 months now, with a broken chassis at that (hence the wheelnut spacer), and had no problems. With the new suspension and being wider it feels a lot more stable at high speeds, and is quicker to change direction without losing stability.

Rtsbasic

07-13-2006, 07:28 PM

Pic 2. Please pardon the mods being on my B3, I'm in the process of converting my T3 with the same mods, although the shock tower is different for the longer shocks and different driving style of a truck.

Hey guys, just popping in to see if anyone knows where to find a complete differential assembly for the T3 (towerhobbies has it listed, which I have had on backorder since 6/21, but it's already July 30th, and the part is listed to come in "late july".... :mad: ). If tower doesn't ship within the next 3 days, I may have to cancel my back order and look elsewhere.

Thanks guys.

i was brushless in my t3.. never worried about the trans gears.. if you strip out gears its likly that your transcase is worn out. and isnt providing theproper gear mesh
my setup was a novak 3.5r on lipo. i beat the hell outta my truck.. and it took every bit of it
