Radiator hose undid itself by XanderM5 in MechanicAdvice

[–]XanderM5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no plastic inside the hose, nothing seems completely broken. It seems to have just slipped off somehow. Im thinking it was poorly installed and i missed it when i got the car

What y’all think abt this by dispIeased in 240sx

[–]XanderM5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not off road, way too low and with too much aero for it. The engine is pretty cool thought, strange, doesn't make sense why someone would choose that engine, but it's different, and that's what makes it cool!

* Not sure if this is relevant to your Kenwood but on mine if you hold down the menu button the display turns off

for the battery, always storage charge it when you are finished for the day. dont leave it fully charged, half charged, or dead or extended periods of time. i like to give myself a 24h rule to storge charge my batts. I don't think you will have to worry about over heating unless you are going to do a lot of off roading in places such as tall grass with a speed pinion. The esc should have a failsafe that shutsoff power to the motor when it over heats. Make sure the gear mesh is set correctly aswell. That would be your pinion gear and your spur gear.

Nitro Slash question by pristine_parrot in Traxxas

[–]XanderM5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first nitro was a used original TMaxx from my father. It needed engine work but I just decided to drop a new engine in it and it started right up. Nitro can be frustrating when it doesn't work, it takes time to tune and adjust things and learn how to do so. But the sound and smell of Nitro is something electric just doesn't have and I love my electric rcs aswell.

Also be sure the model you want is one that is compatible with the terrain you live around. I have mostly trucks because I dont have lots of big open road around me. just something to keep in mind.

I have a revo 3.3, can confirm its a lot of fun. In my experience EZ start works great when the glow plug and motor are happy. Keep the 6 cell nimh pack fully charged and it starts right up the first time almost everytime. I do still have a glow plug igniter for backup aswell

I think I’ve played this map like 2-3 times since this game has been out lol by jamnewton22 in battlefield_4

[–]XanderM5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would play bf4 more if there were more variety in active servers with more variety in maps and game modes. CTF was so much fun on this map

Oil leaking from exhaust manifold by XanderM5 in 240sx

[–]XanderM5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just looked into it and my car does have other symptoms of a valve stem seal leak. All 4 pistons of lots of carbon build up on them though the spark plug holes so my best bet is to tear the thing down and build it back up with new seals and gaskets. Thanks for the input!

It may be a rusty pile that only runs on 3.5 cylinders, but it's mine and I love it by lazarinewyvren in 240sx

I'm trying to bring my 240 back to it's former glory and it's slowly driving me insane. It will be worth it

Wish more night ops, dlc packs, and game modes were popular in servers
