My Nitro 4-Tec has Traxxas blue header/pipe, carbon fiber upper deck, carbon fiber rear brace, blue pulleys, blue pulley shaft, 0 degree rear hubs, aluminum shock caps, castor wedges, Powerline blue head and front upper arm mount, aluminum fuel filter, Motorsaver air filter, GS bolts, washers, and nuts, MIP/Traxxas temp guage, KO Propo EX-5 transmitter (old style), 6 volt Hobbico Voltwatch, Elite 5 cell Ni-Cd Receiver pack, and Losi shock springs, Cirrus CS-60MG/BB Servo, and Ofna blue servo arm.

New hop-ups/06-04-02: Powerline blue front steering hubs, red carbon fiber boost bottle, MIP Shiny CVD's, Dynamite Failsafe, JR XR2 Transmitter Pic's to come soon. Does anyone have the new Saleen 200mm shell yet?

This 4-Tec is my on-going project. It is usually always ready to go. I just and new parts to it every week or so. I am trying to customize it without sacrificing functionality. For right now, this car is a parking lot thrasher. I run Traxxas 20 % Nitro and run it slightly rich for continuous high speed runs. When you lean this car out, it realy rips but runs a little hot.

I drilled a hole in the center of the one-way bearing and on the bottom of the EZ-Start and then inserted an aluminum elbow. When the bearing slips, I put the spray in the tube and it's ready to go.

New Boost Bottle. The temp guage couldn't handle the rigors of the nitro car and crapped out the first time I used it! I'll save up for a temp gun.

06-02-02: I did a high speed run and did a powerslide into a wall causing the 4-tec to flip over and destroy the whole right side suspension....parts on order.

06-08-02: All new suspension parts arrived and installed.

06-09-02: I went down to Oceanside to visit my friend J.E.W. He ended up donating his Nitro 4-Tec Pro with ALL Powerline anodized blue parts on it to me. He also gave me a ton of spare parts. My 4-Tec will be updated with more new parts. Pics coming soon.......

06-10-02: I installed the Traxxas Pro diffs, front and rear, Powerline front and rear gear cases, upper front arms, rear suspension arms, and pulley mount. I also installed the MIP shiny diffs, front and rear.

06-15-02: Another high speed crash.....Left front side, I bent the Powerline front upper suspension arm, snapped the titanium tie rod and bent a steering linkage screw. I am now going to stick with the plastic upper suspension arms. My motorsaver air filter flew off somewhere. I had to go back and find it......which I did luckily. Keep an eye out for yours!

08-09-02: I've decided to change the Nitro 4-tec. Right now the car is completely apart. I am going to remove the EZ Start and put in a pull start. I also installed a Ofna linkage kit (Yellow) and a few other things. My other Nitro 4-tec will be up for sale soon. One is good enough.

08-20-02: Sold the other Nitro 4-tec with this engine in it. I decided to get a different motor. My friend speaks highly about HPI. I will be looking into buying one soon. I guess HPI has a good engine for the price. Any suggestions? Please e-mail me. Thanks.
