Obeast's Wide-Fat TB2

[Obeast44]

Hey guys, been a member for a little while. Just now got around to picking up a TB2. Many thanks to Scott@ZerogravityRC, youre the man! He set me up with the options I was looking for and was more than willing to work with me. I really appreciate it! He is hands down one of the best guys I have dealt with in this industry.
I got a basic RTR, with the wide body, MMT wide arm conversion, sway bars and a Jet Pro. Its sitting a little low in the pics because we werent 100% certain I would need the MMT shock ends and Scott didnt want me to buy something I wouldnt need. Hows that for service? I hope you guys like it, once I get my killswitch and battery and the shock ends in I will break her in.
Also dont mind the camber/toe settings, I know they are out of whack. I dont want to set the suspension up until I got the rest of the things I need :)

great looking rig obeast... if I get a tb it'll be the same wide version. I can't wait to hear your report at see how she works out for you. congrats on a great new ride.

[mradlin]

That looks awesome!!! :punk:

Thanks for the great pics.

[mynameismud76]

Sweet as a nut OB =)

Did you paint that shell? Where do those window "net" come from?

[mooman007uk]

nice, you'll be pleased at how quick and nimble these things are..fly well too

[Obeast44]

Actually a buddy ( Slhawkins) of mine cut it out and painted it. Im more of an engine guy, and hes more of the body man. Its solid black, and the window netting decals came with the RTR car.

[hndaman1]

that looks great. I was there when scoot boxing that order I think..

[Obeast44]

Ya probably were, he shipped it out last Thursday after I sent the payment. Got it Saturday :D
Got the shock parts and batteries I ordered Monday from Scott this morning....hes faster than DDM! Now that I have the parts I can properly set the suspension up and take a few more pics of her clean :D

[hndaman1]

scott is the man, for me I do not mind the 2 hr ride to go there:party time::party time:his shop is amazing

[Obeast44]

Ya, I wish I lived that close! Unfortunately for me and a few others in my area there nothing here. Not even a respectable 1/8 track within a 2 hr drive :( Luckily theres all kinds of 4 wheeler hills to climb and horse rings to setup makeshift tracks on.

:-) Glad to hear you got it all together already man your quick and it looks great :punk:. I have always had a hard time waiting for things in the mail lol. Now that I have control its nice to be able to get all the orders for the day out same day they were ordered so customers can get there product quick, makes for a happy customer haha :yahoo:

Thanks Matt its always nice when I get some company here, its a drive but if you have something fun to do it always makes it worth it. Plus you get to spend 4 hours in a car with Kevin :excited: haha woo hoo!!! You guys are always welcome here just wish I had a track to run on at my warehouse that's something I will have to work on a test track would be awesome.

Temps are suppose to go from extremely hot and sticky back to tolerable starting Sunday. I didn't think I had anything planned this weekend then I got a text this morning for a friend his bachelor party is Sat at 5 lol. Yeah I think Ill be taking my motorcycle so I can drink a few sodas and bail or l will never make it to Sheboygan on Sunday. I really have to test these FLM front CVD on my Kalee so I can have them put into production and I want to come and run my Nutech with you guys so no drinking for me I am running RC this weekend:punk:

Thank You,

[hndaman1]

what parts are needed for the wide conversion?

[Obeast44]

I bought the MMT Lower arms, Shock ends, dogbones, steering turnbuckles, and Front/rear upper turnbuckles. I saved a few bucks by just buying the turnbuckles over the complete upper arms. I figured since its new it would be too bad reusing the plastic rod ends. Basically everything in this thread I replaced , plus the shock ends:http://www.nutechracingforum.com/vb/showthread.php?1114-FS-New-TB2-A-arms-turnbuckles-and-Dogbones

do you have the part numbers?that is easier then trying to look everything up:punk:

[Obeast44]

Just ran mine for the first time in the yard :excited: Man once the motor loosens up some and I slap a tune on it....oh boy its gonna be a fast machine. The Jet-pro pipe has some brutal top end and the low end is adequate but its not a rear Dom thats for sure. The only thing I wasnt too impressed with was the turning radius. The stock steering servo does an adequate job, but couple that with a slight bind in the front suspension at full steering lock and a servo saver that kept backing out its easy to see why. I will locktite the servo saver and the binding should alleviate itself over the course of a few tanks. All in all for the $669 pice tag of the RTR from Scott@ZerogravityRC, I am thoroughly impressed!
The wide suspension allowed me to turn at the tightest radius I could manage( tis still turns better than a Baja and my old Ramps) with the aforementioned issues at full throttle. There wasnt even a hint of unstability, the only time I had a tumble was an end over on a small jump. It came through unscathed.
I wont even begin to talk about the shocks, they are the biggest smoothest shocks I have ever seen on an RC.
Hndaman1 here are some of the part numbers and quantity youll need. This is the exact route I went.
059504 MMT Shock Rod end set you will need 2 of these
059524 MMT Steering Turnbuckles
059525 MMT Rear Upper Turnbuckles
059526 MMT Front Upper Turnbuckles
059514 MMT Rear Lower Suspension Arms
059515 MMT Dogbones you will need 2 of these for a total of 4 dogbones
059517 MMT Front Lower Suspension Arms
That should be all you need.

[mynameismud76]

The wide arms conversion is definitely worth it..

If you've any spare cash, splash out on a pair of CVD's :punk:

[Obeast44]

Will they help with the binding?

[VancouverHobbies]

CVD's will solve the binding and no popping dogbones ;)

[Obeast44]

I looked on zerogravityrc and I didn't see them. Are they available for the MMT yet?

[VancouverHobbies]

If he doesn't have them yet you can Use Smartech Titan CVD's, there bullit proof and smooth as silk.

[Nutech Racing U.S.A]

I looked on zerogravityrc and I didn't see them. Are they available for the MMT yet?

They are on there way bud, finally available from Nutech so I have a ton of them coming on my part order and my container order. I have a fair amount of customers waiting for them so I will notify you as soon as they show up :punk:.

Thank you,

[Obeast44]

Sweet! I may have to pick a set up when they come in.

[Obeast44]

Ran another tank and a half through mine today and ran into a few issues. I lost a bolt that holds the gear cover and motor mount and another had come loose. I locktited them before running but they managed to back out. I guess that allowed my gear mesh to open up considerably, luckily I noticed that before I did any damage to the gears. Once I replace and retighten them down I will see how the gear mesh is. Hopefully all will be well. Im pretty sure this movement in the drivetrain has allowed some motor movement and its starting to blow the stock paper gasket out. I guess the extra weight of the Jet-pro sped up that process. Thats not a big deal considering I will replace it with a copper one. Good news is the binding in the steering is all but eliminated and she is rock solid stable through corners. So a bolt, some more locktite, and a head gasket is the list of things I managed to break today. Not too bad.

[mradlin]

Sounds like some minor issues. :damn:

At least your out running it.

[Obeast44]

Ya, nothing too major upon visual inspection. Once I tear into it this weekend I will know more. The main casualty was the plastic gear cover. hehe

I never expect those black head gaskets to last, matter of fact I changed 3 in the last month or so for my friends. One more wont be a problem. :)

[Obeast44]

Got her rebuilt Friday night, fixed the bolts with a little red locktite and replaced the head gasket with a copper one.
I went to a little friendly 1 on 1 race with a friend of mine that runs a Baja. We were doing a best of 3 event, a mild road course, an oval and a straight line drag all for a free breakfast and bragging rights. The baja was running a DS/sikk 26cc, rear dom and Hostile's all around. Im running the stock 26cc with Jet-pro. On the road course I was forced to start 2 laps down because I had 4wd, everything else was heads up. We started off with the road course and due to being 2 laps down and the extremely slick and dusty conditions I only managed to make up at most was a lap and a half. Nutech 0 Baja 1. Next was the drag race, and honestly I felt like the Baja had that one in the bag. Wrong! The same loose and dusty conditions that essentially cost me the road course, gave me the drag race win( twice)! Nutech 1 Baja 1. About this time my T/B servo was acting up and I didnt have ANY brakes because of it. Luckily the Baja lost an E-clip that holds the spur on. After him running to the parts store a 1/2mile away and getting another to replace it we were set to finish with the Oval. I was worried my servo would crap out on me and cost me the breakfast and some bragging rights. Luckily it held enough for me to put the Baja a lap down and then the replacement E-clip on the Baja gave out. I cruised to victory, a free breakfast and some SERIOUS bragging rights for a few weeks. Nutech 2 Baja 1. To Slhawkins (the Baja guy) man those FREE biscuits and gravy are gonna be AWESOME!
I will probably replace the stock T/B servo with a 5755 and while I am at it replace the steering with another 5755. Aside from that little issue, everything went perfect!

I recall the nutech making up about a but a half lap at best on that baja on the road course. Your giving yourself a wee bit more credit than what was earned. but we will do it again.:boxing:

[Obeast44]

Didnt I get a lap back? Im sure I did at one point. Either way the outcome to that one was decided before it was ran. Next time your not getting 2 free laps! hehe
I was expecting a phone call after making that post :D

[mradlin]

Sounds like a great little race you guys had!!
Did you manage tyo get some pics of it? :excited:

[slhawkins]

we'll run again if you dont sell it before we get a chance to. hehe

Unfortunately, no video :( The wife left for her vacation with the women Friday and took every single camera and memory card I had! Well besides the keychain micro cam I have glued on top of my DX3.0...but she did swipe its memory card! :mad:

Trust me bro I am keeping the Nutech for quite some time.

At least they're not too expensive. :omg:

[Obeast44]

I swapped the gears around today because I noticed I had way to much topend when I was racing last weekend. Unfortunately before I got 5 minutes into my run I snapped the shaft off of the clutchbell. Doh! I see alot of guys recommend the alloy mount, alloy clutchbell holder and the steel vented clutchbell. Am I correct in assuming the steel vented clutchbell is alot stronger than the stock one? I dont want to have the same issue again.
Good news though, my stock T/B servo is fine. I was just having a little binding and it was fixed by what Mooman recommended in another thread :)

Oww yes I to have heard a few of the stock ones doing this, one of the guys I sold one to locally had it happen, upgraded to the vented clutch bell and hasn't had a issue yet. I am still on my stock one with no issues so all I can assume is it was a batch of them that might be weaker then the rest :mad:.

Shoot me an email and I can help you out with a vented clutch bell :punk:

Awesome man! Thanks, I may spring for the alloy mount and clutchbell holder too if I have enough in my RC budget.

[mradlin]

Have you gotten the parts to fix her up yet? :excited:

[Obeast44]

I should have them by Wednesday, I didnt get them ordered until Friday night. She will be ready to go by this weekend :)
I picked up the alloy mounts, Alloy clutchbell holder and a vented clutchbell.

[Obeast44]

I went to LargescaleRC's Fun Run on Sept 25th and had a blast! I got some serious track time with the TB2 and the only casualties were a stock T/B servo ( no surprise there :D ), slightly bent the Jetpro stinger after catching some HUGE ( well huge for me! ) air and I rounded a wheel hex. I got a solid 2 tanks in, in between helping a fellow RRF member get his Futaba 4pk equipped Rampage lined out. Note to self, the 4pk is nice but hella complicated! haha
I had several people stop and ask about the Nutech after seeing her run on the track, most couldnt believe it just had the stock 26 in it. Even Troy or Scott ( Sorry! I cant tell you guys apart, you are twins afterall! ) commented on how well it was doing. It was my first time on the new layout with an essentially stock TB2, albeit I had the wide arms, and I could definitely hold my own against some VERY expensive rigs. Its was a very good day thats for sure! Im hoping they got some video of her in action. Unfortunately my camera wouldnt hold a charge :(

[mradlin]

Sounds like you had a great time!!

That's what this great hobby of ours is all about!!

[Obeast44]

Heres a few pics of by TB2 in action at LargescaleRCs Fun Run on Sept 25th. Photos are compliments of Bob and his wife from LargescaleRC.

A few changes are scheduled for the next event on Oct 16th. I will install a 36mm topend for a 28.5cc displacement, and 30k fluid in the center and 10k in F/R. A few other things might be on the table if funding permits :D

[mradlin]

Your TB2 looks really good on the Largescale RC track!!
What did Troy, Bob and Scott think of it?

[Obeast44]

They were impressed, after seeing it run several people stopped by to check it out at my pit area. Most people didnt know what it was and were very curious. I explained what it was, what I thought of the performance/durability , the price and where to get one. There were quite a few "wows" "damns" and double takes. I think it definitely made an impression, and its gonna make another one on Oct 16th :D

[Ron E]

your tb2 looks awesome obeast, nice pics. more power in store for ya huh - :excited: cant wait for the 16th, gonna be great.

[Nutech Racing U.S.A]

Nice pictures obeast that track looks like a blast to run, just curious what were your lap times like on that track it looks like a good size track?

Hope you get it all straightened out for the 16th so you can give those guys another run for there money :boxing:......

Heres a few vids of some on track action. These are compliments of Bob@LargescaleRC as well.
Bear in mind a few things. Its my fourth time really driving the car, first time on the trackwith the TB2 and only my 2nd time ever on an official track. Im rocking a stock 26cc that is a tad rich to be safe, I was 10hrs round trip away from any spare engine parts :D
The orange Baja that I let pass is Bob's, hes considerably faster so I figured I would follow him to learn a little :D

Looks like lots of fun racing around with all the others too. :punk:

[Obeast44]

Thanks a bunch for fixing the embed :)
I was delaying my dinner date with the wife, and she was hungry. rofl

Did a complete teardown of the TB2 while I had the engine out. I put 10k in the front/rear diffs and 30k in the center, and a few other little things.I installed the 36mm headkit and will get her broken in for the next fun run. Hopefully I can continue to make improvements in my driving and eventually give those seasoned track guys a serious run for their $$$$. Ive got a friend of mine trying to get a hold of a Jet-pro TB2 widebody side pipe for me. I dont mind the performance of the rear jetpro but its just to exposed for my tastes.

No problem, anytime.
Let us know how you like the side pipe.

[Obeast44]

Had at blast at largescaleRCs fun run today! Thanks for having me up Troy, Scott and Bob, great times as always.
I got some laps in with the new 36mm top end, and the new Jetpro side pipe. Let's just say it's got plenty of power now thanks to the pipe. I only had a few issues today, all of which were pretty easy fixes. I broke the servo save after it got locked with dust and had a bad landing. I thought my day was done but thanks to RonE we modded a Rampage saver to work to get me up and running. I went back out and ran the dogsnot out of it until I lost a dog bone after my rear upper arm popped off the ball. I slapped a washer on it after popping the ball back on and was ready to go. Or so I thought, turns out I picked up a screw from someone and it got into my flywheel. Needless to say I lucked out because if The dog bone hadn't popped out, I would've kept running. You can guess what would've happened with no cooling fins on a flywheel. I had to buy a new one because I left my spares at home, luckily they are cheap. I got that fixed and went back out for a final run and ended up breaking the vented clutch bell and losing a side pod in the process. All in all it wasn't too bad of a day, now if I could just drive a little better Nutech can get some wins over here in the states.

Its about an hour and a half northwest of Indy so its a little closer than ya thought. Its located in a little town called Monon, Indiana.
I look forward to meeting the WI crew :)
A friend of mine is working on video of the event, hopefully in a few days he can get it done. When he posts it, I will do the same here.
My driving is steadily improving, the new engine/pipe combo was messing with my timing a bit so I was over jumping a little. Gobs more power is something I can learn to live with though :D
@Scott: I got a list of parts that I will be ordering from you in about a week to replace a few things on my TB2. Once I build up my RC budget a little :)

Here is the video thanks to Grizzlecamudgen, Thanks again Neil! There is plenty of more footage from that day, that he will be posting this weekend. Please notice the difference from the Rear Jet-pro to the new side Jet-pro in one of the other videos I posted. Dont laugh at my driving, I was down on steering a little, and the new pipe/engine combo was throwing me off a bit. hahah :D

Hey Obeast, did you have drag brake setup? It just seemed when you let off throttle over a jump it nosed in a bit like there was some drag brake setup.

[Obeast44]

I actually didnt have ANY brakes whatsoever in the videos. Thats why I was driving in so deep into the corners. The main problem with it nosing over is the rear shocks. I need to make some collars to increase the preload and maybe go to a little thicker shock oil. The rear of the chassis is bottoming out on the face of the jumps and causing it to nose over in the air. That and I am still learning how to jump. Its also only my 2nd day at the track with the TB2.

OK cool, thought I'd ask. it still looked good out there

[angryrecords]

I like the TB as well, I know Cordy said it's pretty cool to.

Really looks awesome. I like the air shots the best. :punk:
