I have the V1 dbxl-e. Had it since it came out. Initially I ran it all stock. I had the same feeling about it as you do. I ended up putting a Max5 with a 800kv non sensored Castle. Ran that a few years and loved it. Wanted more power and used a Flier 16S capable ESC 12S with that same Castle...

The TLR conversion is hard to find now. But WFO made a mounting kit for the motor. Very good quality. https://wforccustoms.com/collections/1-5-scale-parts/products/losi-5ive-brushless-motor-mount

Looks good on there! Great power range and sound. I use one in a Rampage MT and MTXL. To keep it from rusting. I use Maxima SC1 spray on it. Before and after each use. I actually spray the whole rig with it after cleaning. Says new bike in a can on the side of it. It doesn't lie lol. The rig...

That is almost unheard of. Especially three different engines. I did fry the stock HY32cc. It lost compression within a gallon. But I put a Zenoah g320 in it's place and ran it a year. Then put an ESP head kit on it for more power. Been in there years. After reading all the comments. I have to...

I tried contacting Bartalone to no avail. Rovan where I bought it said contract Bartalone. Lol ya no crap. And yes I bet it needs a thicker head gasket. I am about to ship it back to Rovan for refund. I don't want to wait too long before I get an answer.

Will do. I had a sparkplug to piston clearance issue during break in. It looks like the piston nipped the sparkplug just a little bit. Here are two pictures. One showing the sparkplug gap being minimal and the other down in the sparkplug hole in the head and the top of the piston. Kinda...

What's up man. I had to wire in a new power switch. Then was testing the servos. And one of the steering servos gave up and fried lol. It was tired a couple years old. Glad it happened on the stand not out in the field using it. So I have been waiting for Detroit Performance RC to deliver two...

Thanks! Good eye on the mesh. That was a pic I took mocking the engine up in the chassis deciding the thickness of the shim I needed to make for under the clutch bell carrier. Here is ready to go tomorrow pic. Sup man! I been trying to get this done. The mesh. That was a mock up pic bro. I had...

Agreed! Although one can be built fairly easily. Not much Losi left on this truck. I still use their chassis braces and links.

What's up fellas. Been a busy man this year with all the BS going on just like the rest of you. I feel very lucky to have this hobby to fall back on when otherwise bodem would be the case. Anyways. I have a Bartalone reedcase 45cc modified Rovan engine installed in the Losi MTXL. Check it out...

Thanks. The header isn't coming loose. The pipe is coming loose from the mount bracket. There is only one mount for this huge pipe

You are correct it isn't super impressive. I got this truck with this engine on trade for a Traxxas Xmaxx 8s. Dude was frustrated with this truck. I finally got it the best it is gonna get. But the pipe no matter what I do comes loose. Then it is so near the carb.. It is frustrating. It is just...

Hello. I have a 5iveT with an OBR 47cc engine. Came with a Jetpro pipe. I can't really complain about performance. The pipe design I don't like. It is too close to the carb and is too big and heavy for just one mount point. I either need to rig up a second mount point for this pipe. Or find an...

Mine was pissing out bad. The fuel hose on the brass fittings solved it. I already had the FF brass fittings in my hand not realizing they are too small when I ordered. The fuel hose mod fixed it.

I used the FF kit because my fuel hoses were being crushed by the tank plug holes. What is funny. I have the 3 hole snappy tank plug too. The FF fittings were loose in those holes too. The fuel hose on the fittings then into the tank Plug worked. It ran very well today.

All good here now. I used fuel hose like you pictured. Working good so far. You would think by now FF would fix the faults lol. Gonna braaap it tomorrow. Thanks for all the input ??

Oh my... This guy^^^ My friend and braaap brother Doug!! That is some funny stuff right there!! So even with the fuel hose around the brass fittings they still leak like an old whore? :LOL:

Thanks for the reply! I am going back down to the garage now to do it. Had some family time to attend to lol. More like nap time during a movie.:LOL::ROFLMAO:

Ok today I got some time to go through my truck a little. I replaced the fuel hoses and clunk. Decided to try the FF high flow fittings. Noticed the fittings are loose in the plug holes. I assume this is common. All these years and I have never uses these fittings. I guess some thin wall fuel...

The tower to tower brace is made from 7075 aluminum round bar. I cut to length then drilled each end and ran a tap down in the holes. I used Losi aluminum shock towers. I drilled a hole through each shock tower and put a screw through the tower into the round bar on each end. Got the round bar...
