Losi 5t rebuild

[misterleon]

What's a Barty exhaust rebuild kit? What needs to be rebuilt within his exhausts?

So exhaust gasket coupler and spring?

I specifically need the spring. Everything else I can “make” myself

Measure the spring and go shopping, it's just a spring.

What are these springs called? Tension springs? Also obviously. Also Duh. Also I’d rather just order the one I know works. Also thanks I’ll just do that. Also if anyone has one and wants to put it in the mail...

 

[crucialRC]

Try these at rcmax.uk. Or try giving ddm a email. They may have some laying around.

 

[Seandonato73]

If I did I would be sent already lol.

 

[misterleon]

Found more damaged parts.




Everything is cleaned and ready to go back together.




And the rest is easy from here

Some more progress. I may or may not have put 500k in the front wasn’t paying attention?‍. Anyway center has 1mill 100k in front and 500k in rear

The front and rear a arms have a good amount of lateral play. Should I duck around with shims to get it all snug but have free movement?

 

[Seandonato73]

Wouldnt hurt to shim them up a bit

 

[John Parks]

I'd shim them if the play is a bunch.

What shock oils should I run with gold springs and a pretty heavy rig. Can’t remember what I had in it

 

[DougStar]

45/50wt would be the go to oil ??

 

[misterleon]

progress report:
drive train mostly buttoned up
installed mod limiting straps

waiting on some parts from basher to finish putting together the steering assembly and parts from a main to get the shocks together.
Can anyone measure their IRP camber links? need a front and rear measurement but can't find anything on the inter webs.
In the next few days ill get the engine in and electronics buttoned up killer rc still has my circuit board though.

 

[misterleon]

I feel like I’m always waiting on parts. Kill switch, shock oil, gaskets and carb in route. Almost done

 

[DougStar]

Its like a new build bob???

I love those limiting straps, may have to import some of those.

They are pretty expensive for just a bit of string

 

[misterleon]

Done just need to sort out the body and cage now
