Early fg ecoline

[Garethw1986]

Hi I have a early fg ecoline that's in good condition, was thinking on upgrading the car by putting a newer g230 zenoha and removing the old g2d, and maybe a few alloy add one ect, would it be best to do this car up or sell it for a newer model? Can these ecolines be any good with a bit of tweaking ? Thanks

really they arent much different that the newer cars. fg over the years has made small changes to the onroad cars, nothing huge. i would say its worth it since you already have it. a newer zenoah 23 or 26cc engine would be a good upgrade.

Has it got oil filled shocks or friction shocks?

 

[Garethw1986]

I'm not sure, they look original and are not adjustable like shocks on my leopard thanks

 

[Mike1970]

are they red alloy, silver alloy threaded or plastic and you can see the piston?

 

[Garethw1986]

Red alloy, there original I think

If you want me to be honest, I'd sell it and buy one of the later FG evo cars from ebay. It'll work out better in the long run.

I only use it on car parks not racing, if I was to keep it what basic mods would make the car beltter to drive? Thanks

if your were racing id recommend a new car, but being your running it in parking lots throw some parts at it.

like i mentioned, the newer motor will be a good upgrade. to do this from the old g2d i believe you will need to change the small mount and use the solo style one. id put a set of front brakes on, i found front brakes make the car a lot more stable under braking. another thing id do is get an aluminum spur gear hub, the plastic one can wear out quick. the biggest thing to getting these cars working well is tires. being you run in parking lots id recommend soft fronts and extra soft rear.

post some pics of the car up and for us to have a look at. if we can see it it makes it easier to recommend things.
