    Break in on new motor?

    +1 on that info. I have tried different methods of break in over the years on stock engines, but lately I set the carb to factory settings and drive it like I stole it !! Letting it cool completely between tanks. Never had a problem. Took it apart to replace the stock junk base gasket with...

    Rear dom gasket

    Is it V1 or V2 ?? I had a version 1, and found that if you attach the pipes rear mount before the tightening down the flange bolts, it will leak no matter what you do. That is why I went to the side DOM. tighten the flange bolts first, then the rear mounting bolt. I think there is a thread on...

    Did this scammer guy ever use the name amergroup1 ?? This case sounds the same as mine from last year on this site, $800 Baja, and I'm still out my money. Being from Canada I'm stuck as far as getting help from the police. I tried. I would have to fly down and file papers.

    Had the same prob. with my first 5B, even after replacing the rubber washer. I used another adjuster nut, and lock the pair against each other, or use a stainless steel pipe/hose clamp. Newmer

    I do not want to say too much, as I know he's still sniffing around this site. I'm working with the police on both sides of the border. I kick myself for being this stupid !!!!

    Sold / Found FG leopard - loaded with goodies

    I feel your pain. The lower price of the HPI Baja SS is killing the re-sale value for everything else. I've also tried selling my leopard, and could not get a fair offer, unless I was willing gave it away. The baja price point rules in most decisions, not the quality difference compared to an...

    What types of boats are there?

    Another option is Warehouse hobbies BIY kits for $1000. Add another $50 for a 5 HP modified Zenoah. I just ordered the Magnum 57 Kit. Alot more boat for the money compared to others IMO.

    Softer damping will help prevent shock shaft bending

    It sounds like we are all close to saying the same thing, just in different ways. Lets hope someone will have a solution soon.

    Softer damping will help prevent shock shaft bending

    After reading all the posts, I think the first 2 are close to saying the same thing, but in different ways. The way I understand Physics, the spring creates resistance to the energy being transfered to the shock, and the dampening slows this transfer of motion energy down. I agree with the...
