I moved my batt box to the front of my fruch it is right behind the servo and the reciver is next to my fuel tank (reciver is covered and i have the graphite upper deck) It works pretty good its not to noticiable in the air it still flys good and level

EJS- to find the right gear mesh, take a small peice of paper and put it in between the spur and the clutch bell. Now move the engine towards the rear and tighten the mounting screws. When you're done you shouldn't be able to remove the paper unless you spin the gears to get it out. And i have one of those $30 temp. guns and it proved to be just as accurate as the $70 ones.

Every one here posts pics of your truck I havent seen too many pics lately.

Rushin · #**829** 04-16-2004, 01:08 AM

Just got a new chevy silverado Body... Ill post pics when i get the chance to use a digicam. I painted the the silverado outlaw black with candy blue streaks its pretty cool I think.

EJS · #**830** 04-17-2004, 02:58 PM

Thanks for the info Acer, i got my truck all back together and running fine again. After I got it back together it was all out of tune, and a pain in the ass. ANyone have that HD engine plate from the evo? would it help stiffen up the chassis at all? thanks

I just upgraded my rush to a t-15 how much smoke should come out of the exaust?

Radio Acer · #**832** 04-21-2004, 05:54 PM

tazman-when you hit full throttle then you should see constant smoke but otherwise you shouldn't really see any, and this goes for all engines. hope this helps.

I have a problem with my stock hpi reciever.... if i walk more than 5ft away it dies, no functions work. I checked all wires etc, and still it wont work moe than 5ft away, I tore it all apart and put it back together and it worked fine for like 5 mins then it lost range again... then i toreit all apart/ put it back together again, and it only worked for 5mins again.... just driving in circles in my driveway like 20ft away from me.... it just all of a sudden loses throttle and steering.... any help would be greatly appreciated cause ive ran out of ideas... besides buying a new setup

clodkiller · #**834** 04-29-2004, 03:24 PM

This probly wont help too much but examine the antena and make sure the wire inside is not snapped or the part were it it conected to the reciver look at those conections 2
or it could be you have a cracked cyrstal in your contoler or reciver

I just a nitro rush for the bargain price of free. It is my first RC and cant wait to get some fuel for this thing. Being that I am in college and cant read all 34 pages of this thread is there any way I can get a cliff's notes version of what is up with this truck?

ou_phidelt · #**838** 05-10-2004, 11:43 PM

Stupid question. I have the HPI glow plug ignitor but I cant figure out where the hell to plug it in.

mrpj1972 · #**839** 05-11-2004, 07:00 AM

well the ignitor goes into the top of the engine. you may not have time to read all the pages of this thread but you may want to make it a priority to read this

ou_phidelt · #**840** 05-11-2004, 12:56 PM

Sorry for the poor wording on my part. I meant where to plug in the charger to the ignitor.

mrpj1972 · #**841** 05-11-2004, 01:07 PM

well if it looks like this one then you just plug it into the piece that is similar to a glow plug. not really sure of any other rechargebles that differ from this set up.

ou_phidelt · #**842** 05-11-2004, 02:47 PM

It is that one. The cord doesnt "lock in". It just pushes in and the spring pushes it back out. I cant figure out how to get it to stay.

mrpj1972 · #**843** 05-11-2004, 03:04 PM

what has happened is the inside capture piece has flexed/bent open to far and it wont close anymore. you might be able to give it a slight bend to get it to lock on the charger, but you can most likely go to your lhs and get a new one for like $20. what your experiencing is the outcome of heavy use, so the battery may not even hold a decent charge. it might be in your best interest to get a new one.

ou_phidelt · #**844** 05-11-2004, 05:06 PM

Thanks for the help mrpj1972. I have it propped against the wall and it appears to be taking a charge. I made a trip the LHS today so if the weather is better tommorrow I'll see what it does.

ou_phidelt · #**845** 05-12-2004, 12:44 PM

It didnt take a the charge. I charged it for about 12-14 hrs and the light is still indicating its charging. Looks like another trip to the store.

Pa|2a|)oX · #**846** 05-13-2004, 08:38 PM

The light on the charger doesn't turn off.
Take the glow plug out of the engine, and with pliers put it on the glow plug igniter. If it glows white to bright yellow hot then you're fine. The light doesn't go off on these chargers.

mnsavageguy · #**847** 05-14-2004, 01:42 AM

i have a savage 25 and a nitro rush. my question to you guy and gals is this: last week (with my rush) i had a run away(fixable),is there a throttle return spring mod available(like the savage)?

Pa|2a|)oX · #**848** 05-15-2004, 08:21 AM

You can easily make a throttle return spring fit onto the rush. Its all about creativity, it's not an actual set youcan buy, but go to your local hardware shop and get some springs withhook ends on em and play around with the placement. you can usually mount it on the rollbar, then to the carb..

Btw Guys,
There's one thing left from the parting out of my rush.
This is the high quality F4i Titanium Chassis. There's also a rear tranny assembly attached to it which you can buy together with the chassis if you wish. The tranny includes a Heavy Duty Disk Hub, a Fiber Disk Brake, and Aluminum Lower Arm Mounts.
I'm letting it go for 60$ plus shipping, if you wish to purchase it with the rear tranny stuff I'll let it got for 75$ plus shipping.

Here are pics.
e-mail or post here for questions paradox@hpiforums.com

Thanks

Does anyone no if there is a recall or something on the Rush dogbones??? Maybe its just me, but from the first time I drove my Rush and about every other run after that, the dogbones fly off and I have to go searching for them. One option is the HPI shiny cvd upgrade (which HPI says is about a mm or so longer) or MIP, which set is preferred? ::::: ATRC

I had same prob about a week or so ago with throttle getting stuck wide open and my LHS says there is a throttle return for the Rush, but not sure which manufacturer. I'm wondering myself if I can get a better throttle linkage altogether that will fit the Rush running a .12 engine instead of having to mess with the return spring.
