thanks for the info... il get right on it.. another ?.. my friend just purchase an 4 tec.. whats your take on the fusion vs. the 4 tec 3.3 . both cars are stock...... ? # 2 do you have a # for wolfpack ?...................No I don't have the Wolfman's telephone number you have to contact him by e-mail.

[Rookieracer]

you didint answer the 1st ? .. whats your take on the fusion vs. 4tec 3.3

[nitrohead5300]

I don't like traxxas products I had a 4-tec pro it was good in a straight line but crap in the turns. A properly tuned fusion with the topend speed gears should take the 3.3 The Schumacher Superstore offers a package deal where you get the topend speed clutchbell for free just check their website.http://www.schumacher-rc.com/

[Rookieracer]

I notice that I cant adjust my speeds... I want to get to 3rd gear quicker.. with the optional gearing , will I get their slower, by the gear being bigger ?... ? # 2 how wide are those rear 1/8 serpent tires you mentioned ?.......... class is in session, im your student:teacher:

[nitrohead5300]

The Schumacher tranny is not adjustable. You can get around that by altering the springs and pawls. You can make your tranny shift sooner by using a tranny spring kit from a menace style number U2492, these springs are softer than the stock springs that come with the fusion .21 But if you are running with a stock Thundertiger .21 motor these springs may cause the tranny to shift too soon and bog the motor down. These springs were designed to be used with the small high acceleration clutchbell style number U2491 it has 15-19-23 teeth on it. If you want your tanny to shift faster I reccomend that you get a more powerful motor than stock. If you want to delay your shift points you can do it by drilling holes in the pawls to lighten them. By lightening them it takes more centrifical force to over come the springs so the pawls come out at a higher rpm and engage the gear. I believe the tires are about 60mm wide??

[Rookieracer]

ok ! I understand... which motor do you think its best for what I need it for: and will the new motor work with the optional gearing ?... and whats the ratio for the optional gearing do you know ?

[nitrohead5300]

Any of the top of the line NovaRossi.21 which I would get modded by RBMods for drag racing. I believe that the final gear ratio is 3.2

[Rookieracer]

Thanks ... I think that rbmods have them pre-modded. will I need to get a motor mount ?

[HarryCallahan]

Yep motor mounts available from Wolfpack Radicals.

[nitrohead5300]

Wolfpack mounts are adjustable so you can go up to a .28 big block if you wanted too.

[Rookieracer]

Yep motor mounts available from Wolfpack Radicals. thanks for the info....

[nitrohead5300]

Your welcome.

[Rookieracer]

Tmmrw.. Im ordering from wolfpack... the adapter.. does he also sell the 1/8 serpent tires .. I also want the 60mm wide tires in the back like I have seen on the forum .. now my next ? ... where can I find a body to cover the tires, so they wont stick out... any suggestions.. please respond....

[nitrohead5300]

You need a 235mm body at the very least check with the Schumacher Superstore. This maybe the hardest part of your whole project finding a body wide enough to cover those tires!! Good luck.

[nitrohead5300]

Schumacher has come out with a new Fusion!!! http://www.racing-cars.com/images/Fusion28FTQ_1000.jpg

[nitrohead5300]

The new Fusion comes with a big block Picco .28 motor and foam tires.

[nitrohead5300]

Schumacher also claims that the new Picco motor will push the car to 80 mph!!

[Adam Bailey]

It's actually quite the deal when compared to the Fusion 21

Check out this video of a new Fusion .28 running radared at 78 mph. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGGcyxzXKeI&feature=related

[nitrohead5300]

If the owner of this car were to get the motor modified I bet he would be hitting close to 85 mph.:)

[Adam Bailey]

He can also do a tire change and a turbo head and he'll be darn close to 100

[chris52]

[nitrohead5300]

The Fusion in my post number 1026 was radar verified at 78mph. The highest was 82 mph radared verified in RC Nitro Magazine , now out of print. Their Fusion had a bumpstart chassis, modified Novarossi, foam tires.

[Adam Bailey]

We now have aluminum clutch shoes available for the Fusion line (21, and 28) the part number is U7006 and available immediately!

[nitrohead5300]

That should have been stock on the Fusion .28
