Bobby’s W5 max pro

[misterleon]

If it works it works lol

I’m hoping to be able to use this as my running body for another year and keep the bodies with the professional paint jobs as shelf bodies

With how you run your rigs I don't see a year put of it lol

 

[misterleon]

Everyone should buy a w5. By far the most reliable and well performing truck on the market

It better be at double to triple the price. I think I'm still under a G on my 5ive.

My mcd was 1400 as a roller the losi is 1600 rtr but most of the electronics and engine components need to be replaced anyone.

What are you seeing good condition used (stock) W5's selling for?

More important question. Why don’t you run anymore?

 

[MonsterAir]

I'm poor. Life is really kicking me in the ass lately.

Obr 34 signature series with all the bells and whistles is on order. ordered another spektrum 90120bl and will be running dual steering servos. Ordered a set of hormann spike tires. Supposedly they are really good for grass and loose dirt. Which is basically all I run on

why not the taylor 35?

 

[misterleon]

why not the taylor 35?

A. It’s not out
B. I want a reed
C. I want to see more than 2 people actually test it
D. I’ve never seen it actually run against anything

 

[misterleon]

Ordered the 2019 radio tray, aluminum front chassis brace and a ufc clutch bell

 

[misterleon]

So no surprise that the stuff I order from Taylor Rc is what comes in first. The ufc clutch bell and mod clutch won’t work together so I ordered the ufc clutch and will run a blackbone 10k spring with it. Was hoping to keep my mod clutch but it’s not the end of the world to test something else out.

 

[misterleon]

Started working on the rebuild but I can’t see me getting too far with this right now.

Rc is going on the back burner until I can get this disaster sorted

back to this thing after a 7 month hiatus. Got some nice parts ready to go into this thing. Some mcd alloy parts, ufc clutch and bell upgraded radio tray with dual steering servos, obr signature series with balanced crank shaft and hormann tires. New shell is painted and ready to be picked up as well

 

[misterleon]

Made some progress. The 2019 tray doesn’t work with the plastic diff tower so ordered the full alloy tower. I think this is as far as I can get this until those come in but I’m Sykes to be back. Also fyi these hormann wheels look aggressive as fiddlestick

 

[crucialRC]

2019 tray works with the composite tower but you do need to change to the alloy top plate. Wheels do look the business

Oh really well if I’m doing the top plate no harm in doing the whole assembly while I’m at it

Everything is back together and ready to go gonna try to break it in and do a shake down run on sunday
