I mounted the MCD exhaust shield on my 5T and it helps a lot with heat reflection at that first exhaust bend

Before you rebuild it and start it up make sure your crank seals are in good shape. Hade seals burn out (on the clutch side) from overheated clutches due to heavy wet sand on the tracks. Causing air leaks and engine knocking. Do you have small "potholes" on the top of the piston ?

If you are worried by buildup get a good racing 2T stroke oil but instead of poopy pump gas run it on 4 stroke alkylate fuel instead. That makes a real difference.

Nah, never had to lap any of my engines, just throw a sparse amount of 518 on there instead if its leaking and don't dissasemble until it's rebuild time

Are the lifetime guarante really for wear and tear damages? Sound a bit good to be true. Especially small hexes like 0,7 -> 2 mm should be replaced every now and then they tend to wear no matter what material they are made in. Though always go with higher quality brands I would say less risk of...

Do you have a link to Just signs and designs on Ebay? Can't seem to find it. Only managed to find "justaracer" that sells Losi wraps that look decent? Edit: Neeeeevermind saw his store logo image says Just signs and designs :)

Those look really nice, prefer that over the jokerdesign stuff personally. Looks more like competetion cars.

I would say like this. FG buggys, simple to work on (though they are tightly built) and they are really light. Losi 5b & 5t, wonderful offroad handling, spacious and easy to work on, on the heavy side (esp. the 5ive-T with stock body) MCD, Also wonderful off-road handling, advanced truck with...

It handles poorly on the track from what I have seen, wobbling and bouncing around.

I just have to say that if you are going into racing do NOT get a kracken or any car with a fixed back axle. You will thank me later.

Grafil makes some light weight bodies for the 5ive-T among others

Yeah my german isnt the best either ;) But I think it's only for the T since the B has vertically aligned servos instead of horizontal.

On the buggy one I run a triton setup. https://www.zappenduster-rc.de/triton-dual-steering-fuer-den-losi-5ive-mit-triton-switch.html And on the Red Bull Losi I use a Hot-Racing tray, this one came with the car I bought used...

I am from Sweden so our weather is not much better. Probably wont be any issues during the fall and winter months but no races then either just bashing.

I am guessing you are referring to the heat-shields? I never had overheating issues with the cars before when bashing but recently started to race (me and my brother, bought the Losi with the yellow shock covers for him) and the 15 min heats proved difficult heat-wise during the summer. So on...

Just wanted to share our first run with the used OBR 30,5 engine I bought a while back. Was in a bad condition but now renovated with new piston and cylinder. Also first run and break-in of my OBR 32cc engine. Running really nice so far and sounds sweet. Short and pointless video but still...

Looks like an FS Racing car

Maybe you want one but I never found one necessary. Just place the sparkplug to the cylinder-wall or exhaust and pull slowly on the starter? https://rc-car-online.de/en/products/y1430-y1430-spark-plug-tester-for-1-5-1-6-cars.html

Good racing grade 2 stroke oil and alkylate yeilds really nice running engines. Never going back to regular pump gas for my cars. Advice here is good, Motul 800 is great and castor 927 as well.
