  2. Pace Rc32 Forks

    in Trials Chat

    Sure that's one port of call, but as its sunday i'm sure they're out riding :-)

    I was guessing i'd find some options here as i'm sure there have been a few people on this forum own these forks...

    In fact after some scraping around i've found this -

    Got a pair of Pace RC32 forks (from around 2004?) in black with canti mount "holes" but no actual "boss" sticking out, so need to get some! Hope this makes sense (as it does to me) lol

    Any idea where i can get some, and are they a set size or specific?

    Thanks in advance

  6. My Heavy Tools Trials Rebuild

    Big respect for building up the HT! Looks sweet. I had one "back in the day" i remember going to mbuk/bike exhibition in earls court? in 1999 and getting one in sky blue just like that!

    Coming from riding trials in the mid 90's with canti's and a Kona cindecone (steel) in small and a mate had a zaskar/avalanche in small etc. the way we had to learn was totally different...

    I got another frame a few years back (previously owned by Luke - TritonBikes) and built it up from scratch. It was sweet.

    Then it kinda evolved...

    Then i put the frame away as i wasnt using it for trials.

    I even put the pace forks on my hardtail, but the BB is just that bit too low!

    Hopefully i get the time/money/space to build up the HT. Its like a phoenix, rising from the ashes.....

  20. Nitro Rc Car Owners/enthusiasts Look In

    in Chit Chat

    Well, I want even more power really. Not saying that I don't have enough, but I want something more. Something that can be linked to a servo or a closed loop control stystem to remotely control some sort of induction maybe?

    I'm running a 2001 TRX Pro.15 EZ ignition engine with a 360 MIP Stinger Kit in my 2001/2002 Traxxas Tmaxx but other than that it's all mainly stock. I know theres a new TRX 3.3 but meh I want to boost my pro.15 :-

    I've also just started using 16% nitro fuel as an upgrade from duraglow 10 :sick:

    So I want more UMPH. It can already manage about 45+mph in second which is not bad for a 0.15cc in a monster truck.

    I want to keep my pro.15 as I understand it's easier to add and install hop ups and stuff as there is a wider range for .12 and .15 engines.

    So, whats out there? I have looked and looked and found the MIP boost bottle, but that just stores a little pressure in the carb, which seems pointless to be honest as I can't see much advantage from that.

    Hmmn, most won't know what I'm on about but maybe there is someone out there that does!

    Try 25% Nitro fuel mate, thats what i put in my Kyosho (Y) initial thrust is great.

    either that or get a carbon fibre chassis/alu parts and a more aerodynamic shell

    failing that isnt enough try installing a small ethanol/oxygen powered rocket up its arse <_<
