Taylor 5t creation

[Relic-1]

Well , here goes , it's the beginning of the pinicle of the war inside my head , and my financial backing becomes the reciprocal of all means ,, I've sold my raminator, and some other stuff , to help with the costs, oh boy ! The costs ! But as I've stated before , I'm a very fortunate guy and completely enjoy the fact that I'm able to do this great hobby , can't ride dirt bikes anymore, so kinda filling that void also , but anyways , I'm building the TAYLOR ,LOSI 5T2.0 FROM HELL ! I've sold the engine out of the losi , and the next day the beast arrived at my door !! Here is some pics of the chassis , engine , exhaust , and 30-54 bonehead gears that have arrived so far WARNING !!! CONSISTANT STAIRING CAN CAUSE EYE DAMAGE !!

I'm going with the modified rc center diff carrier , I wasn't able to find engine mounts for specified gearing , so I'm getting the adjustable ones ,rrrrrats !
More jewels just showed up !!! Bling ! Bling !! Taylor towers and diff carriers , also Taylor diff cups , last big order day is this Friday , can't stand the anticipation

Your moving along quite nicely with this build. Out with the old and in with the new!

I spoke to Mr. Taylor today about the fluid weights in my diffs for this thing , this is a first time thing for me , with this kind of power diff setups are whole new spectrum of viscosity abilities, so I FIGGERED go to the dude that lives this stuff , he told me , that they have a losi setup like I'm doing , and that they had tested different wieghts for purposes and my idiotic bashing thing calls for200front , 300rear , and 500center , I would really like to here opinions on this , so let me know what you think

 

[Rep732]

For bashing I'd lock the center with a spool ad more power will find its way to the weakest diff fluid which would be the front. My personal preference as I'd like a 50/50 split on an awd- 4x4 to maximize power to the ground and not be spinning tires trying to gain traction.

Im running a locked middle with 300k front and 500k rear and it works good but i haven't tried much else....rxcmax 46

 

[Rep732]

Are those belted max grips?

What exactly is this locker you speak of ? Ear plugs ? Hey Ohio ! Where you get the carbon fiber radio box lids ?

 

[Rep732]

I have the aluminum version but id recommended the steel version for your build relic.

I gotta try fluids first see what happens , how big a trench I can make ,

 

[Rep732]

Best of luck to you then. So 2 people tell you locker but you opt for fluid in the center? I'm saying as your gunna waste money and time trying to lock the center diff with a fluid. As for the front and rear make sure their filled as any air gaps in there will make the fluids less viscous and you notice you start to diff out.

I put 2.5m in centre 300 front 500 rear. 6 tanks through my 55. I like how it handles. I have the spool rep linked to just haven’t put it in.
