You shopping for a db?

 

[Seandonato73]

Toss a cheap engine in it and keep it for my daughter. Shes very keen on rc, atm. I had the db out about two weeks ago, had her run it a bit, just too much for her to figure out. Swapped the high gear into my axial and let her play with that. She wasnt as into the e machine. Shell be 5 next year so trying to keep her into it.
And stop derailing @crucialRC thread lol

The B is prob more nimble than the T because its lower to the ground. The T handles great tho. Only prob with the B is making sure it stays cool. But unless your racing them on a track they both are pretty similar.

with the B is making sure it stays coo

This is true? once you have that sorted its all go go go??

Do you think it’s possible to drop one of these motor in a losi 5ive b and build some sort of rollbar to wrap over motor and pipe to protect it.

Some people have put bigbores in mcd rr5 cars, which are similar to the 5ive b so I'm sure it's possible. Idk why you would want to , probably uncontrollable.

Says the guy with the baja ?

Hey mate, uncontrollable isn't always a bad thing ?

I'm considering doing a 5t wondering should I get a roller or just build from scratch since I will upgrade the whole drive line any way. But If i can pull it of on a 5ive maybe go that route but nothing bigger than a 40cc. Sometimes it's easier to find a few hundred than drop a thousand at once
I saw that Mcd that's why I asked

Some progress. Getting closer Sean??

Rear diff assembly

Had to shave the C block slightly to fit under the enlarged pinion bearings.

The rcmax inserts are way better quality than the tlr ones??

Top housing and rear shock tower on.

Also had to shave down the D block for the center tab to fit.

Rear end all together now. Went 3.5 deg toe in??


IRP BRP adapters on. The right one gave me a hard time. I had to beak out the belt sander and shave down the rear of it where it where it mounts on the axle. The pin hole wasn't lining up?

Radio tray and tank in.


Looking good??


Thats all for tonight. Gotta get ready to go to work tomorrow and waiting on a few more parts for the front end.

 

[DougStar]

Thats some rc pron right there?
Now I know its porn???? but do you really need that much lube?‍????

 

[crucialRC]

Don't want any problems with lubrication???
