[mooman007uk]

sounds good bud

[NUTECH RACING]

:boxing:I think I can go to Nuremberg, too.

[PSR Australia]

I would love to go but the trip would cost around $5000 AUD and with all the hot new Nutech cars and parts coming out that money would be better invested in stocking up for the Aus market.
If you are going have fun maybe next year for me.

[sickboy]

Good Luck in Nuremberg Toy Fair, with all your excellent products I think you will have a lot of attention, GO NUTECH:band::party time::yahoo:

Well at last i fond a hotel that would let me check in at 1:00 am.
Most of the hotels would not let me check in after 11:00 pm but i was persistent and found one,its only going to cost me €42.00 a night including breakfast, and 37 clicks away from the fair,
so me and my biz partner David will be able to get a good night sleep,
fit and ready for the toy fair :yahoo::punk:

Oh and Chris your 6 pack Heineken beer is in the cool box LOL

[sickboy]

Hi all well as you know we went to the toy fair to meet up with Chris & Ben also to see up close the XT-5, an the RALLY.
We didnt have to much time to take pictures as we were talking to Chris and Ben was dealing with other customers, it was unbelievably busy when we arrived we also bumped in to Oliver (RC modelismo)


And we thought it would be nice to put a face to a name,so here's Chris on the left and Ben on the right.

Sorry that there were not any more pictures but i know mooman will have more than this

[roccos_van]

Pics look good (MT-5), question; where does the exhaust go?

[sickboy]

The pipe comes out to the side of the chassis, its a like the GT 5R
http://www.nutechracing.com/english/ProductShow_Element.asp?ID=600

[nicolas]

So we didn't see you...we arrived 30 mn later....
next time

[sickboy]

No way 30 mins well we did stay as long as possible but we had to get away as we wanted to hit the road while we were still fit to drive.
If you ever have time to come threw then let me know ok

[mradlin]

Great pics!!! :kewl pics:

Looks like Chris and the guys at Nutech have been really busy!

[mooman007uk]

I'll post up some pics tonight after work...i was relaxing yesterday.

[mradlin]

I can't wait to see the pics that you have Moo!! :beta:

[x Wild Bill x]

Hey Moo, is it picture time yet? Would be nice to have something to drool over at lunch :-) haha

Can't wait!

Bill

[PSR Australia]

Yeah take those rolls of film down to the 1 hour quick developersLOL

[mooman007uk]

sorry guys, haven't had a chance to spend time on the computer since I got back....I'll load up photobucket this evening

[bentley marshall]

come on moo pull finger

[mooman007uk]

Ok here's a few XT5 pics, truck is a prototype of the concept so needs 20 or so things changing before it's ready to test, it will be about an inch wider on each side as it's too narrow right now, centre diff mounts (got a spool in at the moment) will be modded and engine may be repositioned slightly to allow exhaust header to clear.
Truck currently weighs 14.5 KG so near 32lb. Chris said around May the first test trucks should be ready.

[bens_rc]

Looks like it will be one tough truck. Can't wait to see it in action.
That mini spool is it the same length and bearing mounts ect. as center diff in the TBII/ MT?

[Clubin]

Holy krap that looks good. I want one. Now. lol I love the layout. Just like a BIG savage.

[mooman007uk]

spool is different length to the tb2, MT but I believe one for those is planned.

yep the truck is a peach, can't wait to drive this once all the bits are figured out

[NUTECH RACING]

LOL

I drove it before i go to Nurnberg.

[Clubin]

of course you did you lucky bugger. lol

[dc2 man]

nice,the alloy a-arms look great..

BUT...i hope nutech have done away with the stockish type dog bones and diff cups for 2010 as the stock ones arent up to much in any make/model

i should know i have replaced enough of them LOL

also what type of screws are on it?

any type of wheel/rim reinforcment? or are they reliant on the axle squares similar to fg~?

[mradlin]

Cool vids Nicolas!

Thanks.

What's your opinion of the XT5?

[nicolas]

So beautiful !! just a few mods on this prototype . Really great!

[dc2 man]

man look at the length of the shocks on that xt5 extreme......wow!

i would love to run one of those in "inch" beach,it would defo take a fair hammering

[sickboy]

Nice touch with the vids Nicolas

[Willy099]

Nice video ...:D....

[mooman007uk]

nice,the alloy a-arms look great..

BUT...i hope nutech have done away with the stockish type dog bones and diff cups for 2010 as the stock ones arent up to much in any make/model

i should know i have replaced enough of them LOL

also what type of screws are on it?

any type of wheel/rim reinforcment? or are they reliant on the axle squares similar to fg~?

the off road diffs are totally different to the onroad ones which are based on the fg setup,
the XT will have cvd's eventually but the diffs are same as the tb2 and MT which haven't had a problem with strength or durability...the cups in all models are to be changed with harder material to stop slot wear once a better vendor is found...I've been testing the 2nd gen manganese type but have to put a few more tanks on them yet to see how they hold up. The truck at the show is just the first concept even though it has been run...
it'll be sold at first as a pro all alloy version so the screws will be hex head...there are quite a few mods to be done to this yet so what you see now and in a couple of months will be different in certain places.

I've never rounded out an FG square yet and have had countless different wheels/tire combos...probably jinxed myself now

[dc2 man]

cheers for info moo

you see moo you dont run aloyed "heavy" ones much in your own words,im not saying you dont have an alloy 1/5th model or never run one but you usually use plastic ones and prefer them dont you?

see its the weight of the alloyed versions is the thing,my fg never rounded out wheel rims until it got heavy,so all nutech new alloyed monsters have the extra poundage.

something just to watch.

the wheel adaptors i use are from elcon and are bloody awesome,you can even use old rounded out rims.....

just a lock nut then and dont even have to be very tight and away you go

p.s dont get me wrong there was nothing wrong with nutechs stock dogbone and axle set up,me myself would just rather to see ball drive set up on these.. imo

the older set up is now dated on any model as the balldrive is a "step up" upgrade for a long time on all models.

[NUTECH RACING]

Hi all,

I want to share with you guys a funny thing that happened in Nurnberg.

The last two days we were in Nurnberg toys fair, I have time to go to visit some RC model maker in Hall 7, when I walk to the MCD's booth, i stand out side MCD booth, not more than 5 seconds and a MCD staff come to use his hand to block their products, and i leave.

The second day MCD Europe guy come to our booth and watch our tb2, i ask if he is from MCD, and that gentleman ask if i know mcd, i told them yse. and I ask them to exchange name cards and give him a free Nutech catalog and let him watch our cars ,then he touch TB2's shocks and tires for more than 20 minutes.

If they don't want to show their products, then they would be better not attend the toys fair!

[dc2 man]

thats a strange attitude...

so he was impressed with nutechs alloy,obviously they dont like showing other manufactures there products as they may feel there designs may be takin.

a little bit silly i think lol

i think the drivetrain system is already similar between nutech and mcd :D

Dear Mr. 2 ,

Mcd rr4 is taking some of TB2 designs, I don't know what designs people will take from MCD, just know MCD they afraid of that people will know how bad are MCD quality so they hide their product and don't want to let me have a look!

MCD use very poor quality of plastic, i think they touch TB2 for more than 20 minutes is want to know what material that Nutech using. LOL

[dc2 man]

maybe he went to bed dreaming of the nutech cars he touched it so much,now he doesnt need his wife anymore LOL

chris i wouldnt mind touching one of them myself,man "inch" beach wouldnt be long telling you how good it is :gun bandana:LOL
