Well this 30 degree body will be the last one you’ll ever buy! It’s made out of a material very similar if not exactly like a Rubbermaid storage container. But! Stickers will not stick to the body. I cleaned it good. But still nothing sticks to it.

Installed a c/f extreme racing adapter to run a standard servo installed a reefs raw 500 fast and quiet 602E6EEC-8D07-4DE4-8777-1382B604B86E.jpeg059A69CA-A379-47A9-90D9-8B40F5889BA3.jpegF24964AF-2EE3-4BAB-BD40-66CC39AEE9F8.jpeg53F89D5C-47D2-43F5-8E0E-59A4C9D16ADC.jpegDE911960-36F2-42AC-9F1C-55EFB4CBDAB5.jpeg6C292F46-6E04-46F5-B645-EF2FD3435ADD.jpegF6739AFD-34D3-4A9D-8F40-46F21C2B1B08.jpeg

Those turnbuckles are poop unfortunately I bought a set for my dbxl ...... and while they were different sizes for the 5ive T the ends were built the same as in the picture with the brass inserts and after a while they got super loose ....... and by a while It wasn't that long of a while ....... but what I ended up doing is buying the ends off inertia and re tapping the turnbuckle to the new inertia ends and that worked like a charm except I had to get a left threaded tap cause I didn't have one

Now with a filter. Been thinking about this one. It gives me tons of clearance and I have lots of hpi filters. Searched the forum couldn’t find anything helpful. Not much on YouTube either other than I see the odd one.

This is great filter I like if ....... a little bit of a pain to have to take apart sometimes i wish it could be taken apart without taking out gnd six screws cause and dirt gets in there on accident and it's a little bit of a mission to clean it but its good overall I say

Look at my previous message if you find the brass ends loosen up on you let me know...... with a little alteration you don't have go spend a bunch more cash for new buckles cause those ones look so good too

Vertigo clutch housing and bell. Losi aluminum diff cup with 500,000 in it. Modified centre diff mount. Any one know what the reason for the one different bearing is? I put them where they were supposed to go just found it odd View attachment 82006View attachment 82007View attachment 82008View attachment 82009View attachment 82010View attachment 82011

Thanks for the interest. I have a few tanks through it. So far no issues. I will monitor the links. At least there are options when they fail.

I think the difference is larger balls on the gear side of the diff. Doesn’t really make sense though. I followed the directions. Lol.
 
Bought another 5-t by accident. Pondering a Taylor 40.

That's a nice motor. Double check with someone that has one but I think you'll need new throttle linkage and cut some of the cage to accommodate the new air filter position.

I bought the turtle racing billet air filter box and Sean is providing the throttle linkage. Should have it end of next week.

I was thinking it would be here today but everything else came. Motor next week. They are building it.
So I’ll build my centre diff I put 1m in it. Modified diff support again.
