home brew mods

[twissted]

so I used arrows to show some of the mods that have been done. stuff you can't see well I will show pics of later.
The motor is the stock 26cc I drilled and dremel the clutch housing so that it cooled better I did this by drilling between the fins and dremeled from the back side.
The flywheel is drilled out and then rebalanced so that the motor runs smoother and cooler. It being lighter in weight lets the motor rev faster.
The cooling vents for the motor was covered from the inside with copper screen so that rocks wouldn't break the fins off the flywheel.
The carb. was left alone but the end bell was changed so that I could use the TGN 3 stage one piece filter.
Moving to the servos I went with the Savox HV high torque unit up front and moved the stock front servo to the rear. I added a lipo 7.4 3200 battery from HK Nano-tec. With the add power I added some bracing so that the servo brace wouldn't move. This added more braking power as well.
Working on making smooth steering was done with adding a DDM RACING ALUMINUM FRONT TOP CHASSIS BRACE. Also I added a Hot Racing steering link.

See the broken fins on the stock flywheel?

This pipe I ordered at the same time that I bought the losi. So the motor ran with it since new. Runs good from what I can tell.

This is a new Modified motor that I bought off of ebay from a guy that never used it but put some parts on it and then sold it. It's a full mod OBR I don't use it much cause it eats clutches and the power difference is on the bottom end and for bashing it's not needed.




I bought a 20 tooth and spacers as well for this motor.

I run these flywheels in both motors. They make a difference in performance and motor temps.

Losi 5ive pipe Mods




I use silicone gasket glue in the sleeve of the pipe. Clean and no leaks!
The red heat silicon by Mr. Gasket is the best.

This got me started with doing simple mods.

So here is a mod that I picked up off of ebay. cost 9 dollars each and really picks up the rpm of the motor. I switch out the wrist pins on the OBR 30.5 and also the Gimo 30.5 full mod motors. I took a picture of the wrist pins and the one with the most weight is on the left and came out of the Zenoah that was built by OBR The middle one is from the RCMK that gizmomotors built. as far as the piston goes it looks like they both remove weight the same way.

This is the latest upgrade done. I wasn't having a fuel problem, and by doing this I never will.
