Facebook New engine, but it was brand new for sure. Came from a guy who has been doing it since the beginning and I have done many deals with. My guess is from the port job and it wasnt cleaned enough before assembly. He didnt assemble the engine, but he is taking care of me
Luckily I didn't see any in the actual crank case. I flushed it several times just in case and poured it through a rag with only a couple very small pieces. So I'm going to chance it and run it when new gaskets arrive.
The seller is giving me all new gaskets, and a new crank for the troubles.

Got the shock installed, now just waiting on gaskets again to assemble the engine. Hopefully Saturday they will be here. Maybe driving it by sunday along with the 40gt baja.
This losi sits very stout. I really like the stance it has. I set the engine in it and it didnt even budge.

What spring rate you got in it? don't look like a lot of pre load. I like it.

They are the black losi HD springs. Could be ddm ones I don't remember. It sits pretty high and I like it alot better than the low look they normally have

Yea he sent me all new gaskets, its assembled just haven't put back in.
Was trying to get my servos adjusted and found out I had a dead servo in the dual setup. Put a new one in, and set them up on the hitec servo programmer and now they move extremely slow so I gave up.

Were the servos new? What's a servo programmer? That's new to me?

It lets you control your servo parameters/limits: Endpoints,rotation,centering,testing + more.

Interesting. How does it work? Do you plug the servo into it?

@Crucial
Some older videos but you'll get the idea.
I would've thought more people used these,especially dual servo guys. Airplane guys used them originally but it has a place in other rc. There's other programmers but this had a few videos. Last video is good.?

And not all servos are programmable either.
