I searched for tractor trailers, semi, and big rigs, and didn't see anything like this on the board... That thing is huge.

FG Baja 4wd with tuned pipe and extra set of Marder wheels. Lots of extra parts and the special FG shock tool. Located near Dallas TX. Price not including radio. $900

Rio 51 with the Fuji Imvac engine and FM radio. Never run. Have original box and all manuals. Located near Dallas, TX. Prefer not to ship. $450

I should have taken some pics. :)

That almost has a good rhythm to it... "Still ain't run my Rio 51" Anyway. I've heard of the exhaust pipe cracking and eventually case cracking. Does Horizon still have the pipes for the Fuji Imvac engines? I think the new 2.4 ghz Rio 51 has a Zenoah in it. I'll probably eventually swap out...

It actually wasn't too bad, I bent the center of the spring so it would catch the center post, and it went smoothly.

Yeah it was horrible at first. I eventually figured it out, that I was doing it the wrong way around and I had to wind it into the reel first and then set it in the housing.

If anyone needs to know how to re-wind a recoil starter... I'm your guy. :) My fingers hurt.

That is a great looking buggy.

I poked around some other threads and it seemed like people were using 60 and 80 weight silicone shock oil in FGs. Will that work or should I just stick with the FG oil?

Someone told me that motorcycle fork oil could be used. Any experience with this?

I was here last year, trying to sell my stuff. I ended up trading my Traxxas Monster Buggy for a laptop. I kept my Rio 51 but have been working so much that I haven't had time to run it. I just bought an FG Baja and freakin LOVE it! My first 1/5 was a Yankee buggy back in 1996 and I loved it...

I know it's four months later, sorry for the delay. :) All I did was clean out the fuel system with denatured alcohol and it fired right up. I put a new spark plug in for good measure, but it ran on the old plug.

Never did get video of it running. It ran really well too.

He said "unit" :lol:

Yeah, would definitely be a good idea. They do have them all the way back to the TRX-1 from 1993, but that could change any time.

Yeah I haven't gotten around to getting a body together for it. I'm thinking I'll do a sheetmetal one.

I'm going to call and tell them that. :) I'll complain that it's too slow and it should be fast like Road Runner.

I have it, just don't have any way to rip it digital, AFAIK. I'll poke around and see what I can come up with.

Don't ya love when it works out like that? :rockon:
