Losi 2.0 Upgrades

[Gersidi76]

I'm about to pull the plug on some upgrades for the 2.0.

A new steering servo (hitec d-845wp)

Pipe (Victory silenced big bore fd933 from DDM)

Dynamite kill switch

Outerwears stuff.

The servo and pipe fit the 2.0 well? Do I need to order anything else to get them to install correctly? Does that pipe need to be rust treated?

Cheers

Dave

If its a raw finish pipe then yeh there r things can do to keep it looking good...?..if it crome jus keep it clean obv

if it is raw get it plated.

u need to rub fresh oil into it when it hot to keep the raw finish tidy looking.....so I was shown/told...
the dude had a raw samba pipe...well over 2-3 years old and it looked like new still....and yes he used the onroad/rally cross racer regularly....

There are some interesting videos on YouTube for protecting metal with linseed oil and a blowtorch.
Looks very easy from the videos

if you rub oil on the pipe when it is to hot you will get 2nd and 3rd digree burns on your fingersand hands.
safer to get it plated.

Yeah obv use a rag.....not ur hands..

If you are into serious jumping, which mine takes a beating from that.

Get the front lower skid plate (it will bend the nose,its one heavy beast) on hard nose landings and the chassis is some chunk of change.

The vertigo vented clutch bell, w center diff brace.
DDM sells the engine inserts in .5 increments as sometimes the mesh is not perfect or as the spur gear worns out needs to close that gap.
100k for center diff, unless you want those front tires ballooning all the time.
If possible, use UHU all purpose glue(notCA), and apply inside between tire and wheel (underneath the beadlocks) to help make them waterproof.

There's bunch more stuff of course, just some things to get you goin.

like the uhu glue tip...
