Bobby’s W5 max pro

[PortCityRC]

I believe it because not much alloy there so it twists and heats up like crazy

if you don't have the Ultimate then 46 is best without upgrade or else will be really pain ful

It would only go in a fully optioned Ultimate.

What are peoples opinion on optimum engine engine size for a W5, is 46 enough or would a 50gt be best all round.

Rovan 71

 

[blackrain]

40gt is a 55 supreme
46gt is a 65 supreme
50gt is a 71 supreme

We will see how much of the rest comes off on its own. It’s not something I’m super worried about

Get a can of this next trip..
Acts like a adhesion promoter. Wash dry spray a light coat on let it dry for a bit, shoot paint.

Another race day ruined by phantom electrical issues

 

[DougStar]

What happened?

 

[misterleon]

What happened?

not entirely sure yet. I’m thinking the switch is bad. Might replace them with the killer Rc switches

 

[DougStar]

So what was it doing?

 

[misterleon]

So what was it doing?

The throttle was lagging, then it would rev on its own, sometimes it would only rev up to half rpms then go to full rpms after a couple seconds, bogging or shutting off, had a small run away before I cut the engine. Then at the end of the day I lost total electrical power

 

[DougStar]

Yeah sound like my issue on the losi new switch and battery lead sorted that out so start there (#cheapfix)

 

[misterleon]

Alrigghttttyyyyy. So I wired up a power switch bypass. I think stupid apex brand switch may have been my issue. Fingers crossed this works then have a different plug style switch on order as a replacement

never posted this above, but it seems to have solved my issue. I won’t really know unless I can run through a full tank of fuel

5 hour drive for a test hope you try it out before your race
