What car do you have? And what exactly do you mean with " I have been reading a lot of the forums where guys are running cheaper steering servos. Why?" ? Also welcome to the forum!!!I have been reading a lot of the forums where guys are running cheaper steering servos. Why? Also wondering if the Hitec 5805 will be a direct fit and if not, what adapter would I need? Thanks
I Have the Baja 5B, sorry. Should have been more specific. The old Hpi sf10 on it is pretty much worn out. Looking to upgrade and I've seen guys using Rovans and King Motors servos that are admittedly, cheaper. I like the 5805 but I need to know if I'll need an adapter for it. Thank you for the welcome! Also have a Redcat Rampave XT that I'm currently rebuilding.What car do you have?

Ok, so rovan servos, yeah they suck. I'm not entirely sure if that servo will fit. Compared the external diamentions and your servo looks bigger, correct me if I'm wrongI Have the Baja 5B, sorry.

Lol. yea I thought so.Ok, so rovan servos, yeah they suck. I'm not entirely sure if that servo will fit. Compared the external diamentions and your servo looks bigger, correct me if I'm wrong
I'll more than likely go with the RCR brakes. I bought it off a guy a couple weeks ago, who, "Gave it to a buddy to upgrade." What I got was a fully upgraded aluminum hop-up Baja 5B. Still has the original electronics, an ancient DX3S transmitter and an engine he swears only has had a quart of fuel, 50:1 no less run through it. Have already had to replace the pullstart, but I did get it started. The throttle servo locked up around 1/4 throttle, so it needs some work.Yep, I'm running the 5645 for throttle and brakes as well. If you run the RCR brakes, that servo has enough torque to fully lock that car up like no one's business. RCR brakes are highly recommended if you're not getting the stopping power out of your current kit. They're made of some kind of dark magic!
Yamadude is the OG linkage upgrade, so you can't go wrong with that. I've never had any problem with the stock linkage binding, so I still haven't upgraded. Maybe will one day when I don't have any other bits to throw my wallet at... ?

looks great, personally id loose that air fiter (wont do well in dirt and will likely let dirt into the engine and cuase damage) and aluminum arms (heavy and if you hit something they bend, rpm arms are the best cuz the are strong but when you hit something they absorb impact and flex back into shape).I hope these work. Had to take them from my phone. She needs a little work, not too much though.
What air filter would you recommend?looks great, personally id loose that air fiter (wont do well in dirt and will likely let dirt into the engine and cuase damage) and aluminum arms (heavy and if you hit something they bend, rpm arms are the best cuz the are strong but when you hit something they absorb impact and flex back into shape).
Ddm sells great filters, I'd get This with an outerwear http://www.davesmotors.com/TGN-Easy-Clearance-Air-Filter-for-HPI-Baja-5b-5T-3293.htmlThank you. I agree with the aluminum heavy aspect. My Rampage has aluminum uppers only. Slowly, but surely right? What size Zenoah will fit in this? I'm already thinking of the 29cc?

I'm Gunna dissagree personally, the latch thingy is a PITA to get off and sucks to access, plus it did let in rubber from the tires (from all the drifting) into the engine.@japhia42 The stock HPI filter is the absolute best you can get:l
True, true. Forgot about that!@Z.hb71 I wouldn't recommend getting a long block unless they are very familiar with their motor. You need more than just the clutch housing. It's hard to tell what kind of carb is on that motor, for a start, if it's the stock 668, would need to upgrade to 1107 or 990. It would also need an isolator, gasket and shroud. Clutch could also be shot on the current motor.
