You might wanna try replacing the the brake pads AND discs. At first time i had this issue thats what i did and it worked until now. For some reason either the discs get scorched and become smooth along with the pads. I tried cleaning them with alcohol before replacng them but that did not work...

Just FYI. I figured out the problem for anyone else that may have this issue again. There are 2 set screws that go into the piece that holds the brake plates. One of those screws fell out. These crews can be adjusted to make the brake tighter or looser. I replacd the set screw and adjusted both...

Is there another servo anyone can recommend since ive replaced with the same exact one in both instances?? It looks like Maybe pointing more to the servo being a problem. I dnt mind switching brands bcuz something funky is going on. Something thats comparable and has power and torque as the...

Hello All This may have been brought up before but i couldnt find the exact same issue Im having. What is up with the braking ?? Just when everythings working fine all of a sudden I have no braskes. Whats weird is the servo is moving (or appears to be moving) like it should but theres no braking...

On this model the clutch bell has to spins really fast to get the wheels to spin really slow. Not quite sure what this means but sounds like therein where your problems may lie. And also someone else mentioned your engine fins maybe getting clogged with debris and grass and not getting...

I dnt wanna drag out this thread but i know what Im doing for my specific situation. Im getting it helicoil'd. Way cheaper than buying a whole top end for this engine for me at the moment. Approx $200 vs $30

Appreciate it guys. I spoke with Dan at OBR and i think ill just send it in and have them do the helicoil after talking with him. I could try it myself but i dnt want to muck it up even further (mis-aligning, etc.). Ill also see possibly have them do an upgrade on the top end haven't decided yet...

LOL That was gonna be my nxt question what torque wrench size and brand do u guys recommend? I guess this will help from over tightening but anything to help crossthreading is a plus as well. I think someone rec anti-sieze which i will get and start using as well. Thx Thanks szaki75. So...

Yeah Ill call Dan over at OBR and see what he says. hopefully its doable. Thx Thanks Guys!!! You All touched on good points which may have happened. Im gonna call DAn over at OBR and see what he says. Ive rebuilt the top end before but not on a Reed Case with the plates on it. And this engine...

Sooo I managed to damage the cylinder head where the spark plug threads into the engine. Im not quite sure how but i must have cross thread it when i last installed it because it was difficult to unscrew out. Once out, i noticed i could not fully thread a new spark plug back in there. It would...

Thanks Guys' I found it for $10 cheaper on his site called https://www.racedayquads.com/ for $59.99.

Thanks. Thats still a lil expensive but i may have to go that route if i cant find anything else thats comparable.

Hello All Can anyone recommend a good device to measure the speed of my 5th scale RCs?? Something that wont kill the budget and small enough to where it doesn't hamper anything and is fairly easy to mount on the RC. Ive tried using my old phone with GPS in the past but its too bulky and is not...

I must say I haven't had so much fun all 3 of my gas rc cars in a looooong time and theyre running great!!!! Even my FG with the knock off carb. Its running better than it was before. They start consistently pretty much right away 90% of the time. I ttribute that to some of the info i received...

Well i must say i think i have ALL 3 of my RCs dialed in (time will tell). I had a fun weekend runnign all 3 of them w/o issue. I think my XCR was an carb adjustment issue because it ran fine with the original Rampage MT engine. Its running fine so far i have it geared for speed and it ran...

True but if i dnt have a new plug handy and i want to rule out the coil as well I would like to have a spark plug tester as well

Spark plug tester i bought off amazon: OriGlam Spark Plug Tester, Adjustable Ignition System Coil Tester, Coil-on Plug Ignition Spark Circuit Tester, Autos Diagnostic Test Tool Yeah i was just saying that be mindful when trying to isolate a problem its better to start off with known good parts...

Ok again I honestly started this thread to finally remedy the inconsistent starting\running issues i have sometimes and in the process someone else could benefit from the feedback here. So to not have a constant back\forth im gonna summarize basically my approach that I have been using and i...

Appreciate ur input. So what do you suggest by doing it right??
