    BJ70 blue smoke!!!

    NV BJ70,I notice you also have another post with no heat from the heater,if as you say the truck takes over 45 minutes to even start producing heat you are not getting the motor up to operating temp. and not burning fuel properly,washing the cylinders.Smell the oil,if it reaks of diesel it is...

    How to time your 1HZ/1HD-T Fuel Pump Video

    Hold off on looking for a extension,I looked again at the kit you bought,the tips on most dial indicators unscrew,the little rod they give you looks like it should screw into the dial indicator,you might have to adjust its length depending on brand of indicator.

    How to time your 1HZ/1HD-T Fuel Pump Video

    I just use a dial indicator on a magnetic base,mount the base to the oil filter or other metal object on the block and run the tip of the dial indicator into the timing plug hole,some dials may need a extention to reach the pump plunger,they can be found in different lengths.Work like a hot...

    Gummed up fuel system advice,please..

    Thanks for all the advice and recommendations,unfortunately I thought it was related to the use of biodiesel but nothing except for straight lacquer thinner even comes close to completely disolving whatever this coating is. It is honey colored and very tacky,covering every inner part of the...

    3B short Oil Filter

    Jon,the original filter was a crossover to a PH8A as I recall on my 13BT,same filter as the 3B.A shorter version is a PH16,sometimes a 1" or so shorter,check with some of your local suppliers if they carry a crossover for a PH16 in different brands as some were even shorter.Also check the micron...

    RC Heli

    Do you have any hobby shops local to you?If any of them deal with airplanes or helis they should sell the simulators,the Realflight or Phoenix seem to be the most popular but cost between $150-$200 depending on model,some use your radio or they provide a radio set up,all will come with the USB...

    Cool FJ40 build

    Ran across this thread on a rc site,cool body build.This kit was one of the earlier 1980s Tamiya rc kits,Hi-lux,Bruiser and Mountaineer.They have a 3 speed transmission that can be shifted by the radio from 4wd low,2wd med and 2wd high,later kits had a one way bearing in the front huds to...

    i need a new 7.2 volt battery pack ,which one to get

    Unfortunatly the battery you have linked is a Nimh so you would need a new charger for that,would be very long run times though. Lipos you can get them hardcased to fit the cars you have,BUT they are 7.4 volts 2S packs instead of 7.2 volts in the Nicd or Nimh.You can get a small add on alarm...

    A little off topic but question for D'Animal,we run 1/5 scale rc buggies(hpi baja) with 23-30cc 2-cycle motors in them.Basically a weedeater motor.Alot of guys are running Coleman camping fuel instead of pump gas with no problems,reason,it does not smell if living in apartments,storing in...

    If you had the choice?

    Understand fully,had a hard time finding my 73,I think they are becoming rare for export to Canada,can your dad be talked out of his:D. I understand the limitations on the 75 also,my daily driver is a extended cab pickup and a regular cab would be sort of a pain. I know a few people with the...

    If you had the choice?

    Tough call,the 75 pickup would be cool,do not see many if any.Another option,I recall you imported the 80 and your dads 73 yourself yes?so you save money on importing,shipping for 2 in container is cheaper,if you can find a good 73 loaded and have the funds why not bring both over,drive each for...

    Source for a H55F CS Bearing low bucks

    Dieseler,the guys over at Action bearing at Bridgeport and Viking Way use to be good at sourcing out any bearing,but like cruiser_guy mentioned now unless it is a common size and series they are not much help anymore,especialy with the bearings for automotive having a groove for a retaining...

    new BJ71 owner

    Dave as everyone above has mentioned your only option is overseas-middle east or Europe,you can order in the dash evap form Dave at Japan4x4 but this alone was $1200,this might be the hardest part to find.Most of the underhood parts you should be able to adapt from either a LHD or RHD 70 series...

    Traxxx chargers

    One thing to keep in mind the higher the milliamp the longer you can run for,nimh packs can be found up to 4600-5000mah and will give a good run time in a stock car but also will take longer to charge,Check with your local Hobby shop or Radio Shack(The Sourse here)they use to carry desent...
