Pull start is different on big bores. I checked and they are probably loctite in.

I ordered the 23/18 gearing to replace the stock 22/19 to let the RCM stretch some more. I also swapped out the steering links and rear sway links for the IRP's. Also changed the rear shock oil to a combo of half 90w and half 45w? Wonder what that comes out to be?? What I had on deck?? Also installed the Full Force shock socks on front and rear. I cannot find the exhaust gasket on Detroit Perf website so I emailed them so I can get that on the way and I also ordered some 4ply heat resistant silicone for the torn exhaust coupler.

Thats one awsome rc. From the paint to the wheels I like it. Seems to handle the power of that rcmax very well. Damn losi or baja would be all over the place.

Year I think its a bit under geared, so we shall see when I change them out. Vekta also probably weighs almost twice as much as a baja? and they are front heavy to begin with
 
OK just in case anyone is interested in the T90 gear accessibility to service, swap out gearing, adjust/replace the slipper or grease the gears, I figured I'd make a little post on it. I was actually fearing having to do this to put taller gearing in mine. I thought I would have to pull the engine, exhaust, and complete T90, but I didn't.

You will have to remove the exhaust(if using a tuned pipe) to gain access to the tank mounting screws.

You will have to remove the tank(3 screws)and lines to the engine.

Remove the brake rod(loosen 1 set screw at brake cam).

Remove the 2 thru bolts for the front rear outdrive cup(attached to the front center driveshaft) and rear axle pinion where the rear telescopic driveshaft attaches to the rear axle. Then slide the rear telescopic shift forward and tape together so it doesn't fall off.

Remove 2 bolts on the top and 3 bolts on the bottom of the T90 rear cover.

Next pull the rear cover off to gain access to the gears.

Easy shmeezy and took 10min??Swap gears and reinstall. Waiting on the gears to come in now so I'll let you know what difference is once I get em installed. 20200427_125718.jpg20200427_125545.jpg20200427_125551.jpg20200427_132302.jpg20200427_132348.jpg

New 1-1/8" ID HPS 4ply silicone coupler and M8 studs. Coupler fit was tight as hell. Took forever to get on both sides. Definitely don't have to worry about any leaks.

Found a clean way to route my full antenna without getting burned.
