Its liquid teflon thread sealer a dab will do you. Zero issues here and plenty of tested abuse

Man, I really like how that silenced pipe mounts compared to the non silenced samba. Looks great!

Another short vid man this motor starts so easily but I need a toe rope for this monster before I decide to really take her out and run her

 

[blackrain]

Get these bolts back in hopefully no rain tomorrow

 

[blackrain]

Would love to see some pictures of header bolts setup. I can't seem to get 1 full tank through the vekta without loosing bolts. Not quite frustrated yet nothing like problem solving.

Hm someone just recently posted about the same issue @blackrain ....can't remember who ... I still would suggest full metal lock nuts and or drill the nuts and studs you have and lock wire it yourself

I did the studs with a lock washer and nut the nut ddnteven come loose but the whole stud backed out. I did use blue loctite going to switch to red. But I think due to the heat of the motor might not make a difference

Lock wire might be it

I just passed by something yesterday at the auto parts store it was a high temp red loctite. I'm not sure what Temps you would see at the exhaust port but maybe try a high temp copper silicone as a loctite of sorts just to help bite the stud

A new body is going to be released for the vekta.5 soon. It looks similar to factory but has a bit different lines. It looks pretty sharp

 

[Rep732]

Wish they did a trophy truck body for the 5 ...
@John Parks I take it you can't show us?

 

[blackrain]

A guy posted these on Facebook though they were pretty interesting

The 0 ring that came with new shaft is so thick brake can't move over itView attachment 75528

Hi, where did you get this "screw" for the brake disk from? how does it improve the brake performance/life? Nice setup by the way!

Thanks, if your speak about the piece that holds the brake plate centered . That came with the vertigo transmission

Thought I'd go for a Christmas run lost engine bolts and clutch bolts backed out. Well I did say it was nitro season fix everything tonight. Pull out the nitro for today
