WoW! This truck is a dream to work on! Coming from the compact baja and the marder there is nothing better than this rig! I have definitely waited too long to buy one lol.
Got me a 5ive!

Do these engine mount screws like to back out? I'm kinda surprised the engine is only held on by those 4 screws. In the Marder they love to come loose.
just add some blue loctite and check after every few runs. Some ppl use red, but I wouldn't. also, don't forget about the screw on the top.

That's what I do on the fg now, red locktite. Then just dremel the heads off when I need to pull but w/ $17 inserts I don't think I'll do that with this rig. What screw on top are you talking about? I have a 1.0
not sure if its on the 1.0 but heres a pic of reps 5t, look at how there is a brace that goes on the carrier
Just use some blue loctite sparingly it will hold

I'm the same, working on my truck after months working on the Baja it feels too easy doesn't it??
Take the engine out, yeah not a problem, 4 bolts, couple pipe and a nut for exhaust. Centre diff? Easy peasy. Compared to the Baja the trucks are enjoyable to spanner on.

Just blue loctite, they don't readily come loose.

Ran it for the first time today. This 4wd thing is like cheating, freakin point and shoot!... Have a few gremlins to work out before this weekend though. Left tire wont fully return to center after a right turn. Pia.

Can't remember what engine you have in yours, but mine is a bit more of a handful then point and shoot. The little esp 34 gets with it quick.
Losi is all about control

I have a g320 in it w/ 19T pinion. Bone stock w/ a can exhaust right now
I'm sure it's still point and shoot compared to a baja w/ a stock 32cc lol. What diff fluid you run in yours?
Yep, it’s a whole different beast
It’s a lot less point and shoot when your racing 5 other guys that have the same rig

I wouldn't call it point and shoot, I would call it predictable handling, you can have a lot of fun with it and feel like you can put it anywhere you want in an open field.
Go try it on a track, you'll feel like a newbie who has never driven an RC before pmsl.
Compared to a Baja they can feel a little sedate, but now you can steer and stop lol

We shall see Sunday!.... I've got some nasty slop in the steering that I don't really get how to fix. Left hub/tire points inward after a right turn or when I blip the gas but the servo returns to center just fine. Right side don't do it. Lot's of play in that hub and the steering.

Yup! Noticed the servo might be the issue just also so much play in the steering rack. Does the ADI rack fix this issue?
