Who has a nutech 5th scale and who's still waiting for theirs to arrive?

[roccos_van]

I am curious on how many of us here actually have a nutech 5th scale and how many are still waiting for one?

I send a deposit to Scott for an MT RTR.

What do you have or what are you waiting for?

[sickboy]

my mt pro racer will be on its way soon its not in production as of yet,That we all know,but im off to see it at the toy fair

[nicolas]

I've got a TB2 pro race:yahoo:

[Pipeous]

tb2 will be here tomorrow and my GT5R is in the shipping container with the rest. I can see me getting some of the smaller electrics too for this year, the new x5 and maybe an 8th scale when they release one (you know it's coming at the rate these guys pump stuff out)

[VancouverHobbies]

There are three MT's and two TB2's in Canada as far as I know including pipe's. Soon to be more, ships due in Feb 28th.:yahoo:

Don't know if you can say, but roughly how many will be landing in N. America on said ship Feb 28?

[VancouverHobbies]

I know how many are coming into Canada but couldn't tell you how many there will be in North America? Don't worry roccos your name is all over one for sure, just like you ordered...yellow with pink wheels! LOL

[roccos_van]

Tell me how many for Canada, i'm curious if you're willing to say so!

Save the pink wheels for me eh! I have a baby girl on the way in April so she will like them!!!

[dc2 man]

[Pipeous]

My buggy just arrived a couple minutes ago. I will take pics and such but I have to say one thing right off.... those are the thickest shock shafts I have ever seen on an rc!!

[Clubin]

Mega Monster here in Manitoba, and I can confirm that there aren't any east of Manitoba.


Pipeous has one
Vertigo has one
GasJockey has one
Moo has one
Clubin has one

I have shown the buggy now to 2 people as I have been tinkering and they were both more than impressed. The machining and bling from stock is so nice. so beefy. gears look amazing. Those shocks I can't get over man... they are about the nicest set I have owned for 5th scale and my vw has some nice aftermarket shocks. by far the thickest shafts I have ever seen. Even the gas cap and threads is beef. Anyone that has ever worked with a firehammer tank and cap will know exactly what I mean. It is like the fg cap with thick threads. I worry about over tightening the firehammer tank. If I had to complain, I would say the body is not super tough. I see splitting at the front shock tower on mine from a little pressure. that is so minor though. and my radio wheel feels sticky for centering... that said after a few twists it has loosened considerably so not a big deal... I'll try the buggy out with stock radio until I get a kill switch. those servos are also both 1/4 scale and have heatsinks. seem to be pretty decent but I have yet to add power... I was going to try and get it out for a burn but it didn't arrive until late afternoon... too much prep to get out there... I have to work tomorrow so it'll be sunday before I can get it running. I just have to get it ready tonight... I might be mounting a lipo on the chassis somewhere

Now I need to get a kill switch ordered, air filter, outerwears and I'll do the mesh mod after I pull it apart.

question..., why are the outdrives springy? they seem to push out of the case and apply pressure to the bones. Is there something inside the dif case pushing out? and does this cause any leakage? my difs feel really loose. I'll fill them up after break in and tuning. my vw is going for overhaul first after the muddy bmx day...

The outdrives are springy on the front and rear diffs to apply pressure to the driveshafts at all times. There is a spring inside of the drive cup. It pushes against the pin that holds it in.

The diff's are packed with grease. It has to be removed and cleaned out. I installed 20k front 10k rear and 120k centre. Seens like it works good.

[Minimax]

I'm waiting for my TB2 to arrive for 2 weeks now. Apparentely there are problems at the german customs....

hope they get their problems solved ASAP...

[VINCE14]

an a TB2 prorace.

vince 14

[roccos_van]

Thx for the replies, looks like there are not very many yet, of course. First shipment arrives soon, so new members will start popping up very soon.

[Roninx]

I have MMT and i love it :yahoo:

[pwaicon]

I have a TBII Pro Race buggy and my friend has the RTR TBII. I am pretty sure we are the only two in are area that have the new Nutech cars, but I am sure that will change ones the first shipments hit the Distributor and dealers.

[Minimax]

My TBII just came inn...

Hope to have some time this weekend to try it out

Leaving for China on Sunday, I will probably have to wait for an extra week:damn:

Is there a dealer in Beijing? Maybe I can do some real siteseeing.LOL

[fatjay]

Just ordered and was told 2 weeks....Im ready for the new baby to arrive

[Browny]

Have had a TB2 for about 4 weeks now. Love it!!

Went to a race meeting on the 7th. 4 TB2s there and Bentley's Sandstorm. Nutech was well represented.

Can't wait to get a pipe. Pipeous posted a vid with his and it sounded very cool!

[Merlin]

Waiting for my pro race to be shipped from the states, should have it in a week or so its being collected on friday :D

[Pipeous]

Got mine sitting waiting for new servos... hoping they arrive in the next couple days but that's wishful thinking. All I can say is be careful with the servos

[roccos_van]

Pipe get them from Great Hobbies next time they are the cheapest price there anywhere.

[mooman007uk]

+1 to that...

[Pipeous]

$140 cdn shipped for the other 2 I bought... today $90 each :( plus taxes

[O.J.Racing]

I have had mine a couple of weeks now and well its having a full strip down and some modifications and upgrades so not ran it at all yet.

I hope to be getting to the track with the Punisher this next week before the nationals start to do some testing to better understand the buggy. I will post my findings as soon as I can I will be looking at diff oils and shocks as well as general car set up and handling.

I will be looking for a base set up for the buggy, so will post this in the set up section of the forum also.

[metal finisher]

mmt should be here today cant wait

[LardVader]

Waiting for the mmt to be available in the UK, that's if I can hold out for it and not go and buy the punisher :)

[Mexxan]

Me too - putting the 5b up on the 'Bay - still keeping the y for now. The wait for the MMT is getting to me, as I keep convincing my self that the FTX is looking just as good.

[Pipeous]

the wait for the GT5R is killing me too, I am driving Scott nuts I am sure. So is the container here yet? I emailed yesterday and you haven't replied yet huh huh? is it here yet?

[fatjay]

Mine is in OH..only problem is Im in AZ...LOL...should be soon now though...its in the US and that is 3/4 the battle

[VancouverHobbies]
