Picked this up on a whim last week and so far so good. No issues like niz55 had. Only problem is the rear drive shaft is a lil bent so Rovan is sending me a new one. Could use the bent one I'm sure but it bugs me.
Out of the box all else is good so far. No rust or crap in the tank or intake. Only lose screw so far was on the rear diff. All three diffs were topped off and feel good. Shocks feel good but have not pulled them apart yet. All other screws are tight.
First start was interesting for sure. Primed it up and turned on the choke and gave it a few easy pulls. Gave it a good pull and it tried to start. Turned off the choke and pulled it again and holy moly did it start. I think it hit red line before I could push the kill button. Holy moly. Checked everything and it all seems right. Check everything again and all is good??? OK, lets try it again and see what happens. Gave it a pull and nothing, pulled again and it fired right up and idled good. What happened, I do not know. Could my priming pulls have put enough gas in to do it??
A short vid of it running the other day.
Do these need a locker in the center diff?
