Crucial 5ive B

I'm quite helpful can you tell ?????

That is completely a matter of opinion ?????

Could you have too much venting maybe? Sucking so much air that you're losing prime?

Sounds like heat soak mate? also if your engine gets that hot it starts to lean out the best thing to do is let it idle until the temps come down. ??

Sounds like heat soak mate?

thats what i thought ?

Id run it without the shell for the 20mins and see if you still get the problem if it still persist ?

Gotcha but I already have a ton of holes in the body, large cutouts, and some heat wrap. What else can I do???‍ I gotta come up with something cause when she's running, she's running great. ?Guess it's time for the "better cooling" Grafil body to go on. Hopefully that will help.

It might be a total"zed-mod" and pretty poopy but, an electric motor fan would probably do it ??? j/k

Good luck with the new body ?

Thanks Z. ?A fan is a possibility. I did a run today and damn steering servo horns came off. Both of them? I have to start bringing screws with me when I go out. The 32 ran good until said issue happened. I still think @mark35 is correct with the heat soak cause the bulb was about 1/2 full at the end of my 20min run. About the same time the esp34 was empty. More power equals more heat. Anyway got the new body all cut out?? Makes the rest of the buggy look like ? ? I still think the body will need more cutouts than what is outlined to cut out. We shall see. The paint looks sooo good tho?

Body gives a whole new look?? I like it??

Get you a Baja, no heat problems then ?????

How can they overheat when they never work????

Looks like a space ship to me? Gonna have to grow on me. It's way thicker than the stock body tho??

 

[Z.hb71]

I like it ,paint job looks awesome in the sun ?

 

[DougStar]

My L5b shell has taken some licks ??‍ gonna need a new one some time? yours looks great?

If it’s a heat issue wouldn’t a lot of you other fellas running 5B’s with bigger engines be experiencing a similar issue ??


I’m not sold on heat being the culprit ??‍

I hope your right but a 34 is the biggest I've seen in a 5iveB

?Damn that 5iveB is sick. No heat issues if he can't even get a body on it? What size engine is that?

I think it's a 71 supreme with the 110mm clutch
