My 5ive-t build

Run black irc springs, way better and do fit

Nobody has stock on fronts. Only rears.

I’m going to try the orange Losi springs. Mike said they were the ones to get.

 

[Clubin]

This on its way. Email exchanges back and forth with mike. This seemed like the best solution. Still doing break in but gave her the beans a few times with stock tires. They don’t like that 55. Lol. Looks like foams in all 4 tires are shifted and distorted. Lol.
Oh. This power of this 55 is so fun and it’s slobbering rich yet! And loud! Good my nearest neighbour is ½ mile away and it’s family.

 

[John Parks]

You'll love it, 55 is my next engine purchase to possibly replace my 46gt in my baja.

 

[Clubin]

It loves sipping 110 race gas!

Do you have a link to the billet throttle servo brace? Can only find the 1.0 in billet.

 

[Clubin]

It’s from a 1.0. I flipped it and ground off the stubs.

Hey did you have this issue when you installed the modified RC diff housing and the vertigo clutch carrier with the OBR? My gears didn’t line up completely

@Boostedmk3 please start a thread of your issue and I'll be glad to help you there. I took pictures of mine to show you.

Ok. Looks like you’re running a different clutch carrier also.

No issues. Here are a couple more pix.
I had to remove the carrier and press the bearing on the inside of the clutch carrier in just a c-hair.

Did everything else line up? I’d try installing the factory centre diff cup and see what alignment looks like.

Put on the Losi orange springs. It’s better but I have a set of rear black irc coming. Brp knobbies and billet inner rings. Fits great. Quality is great. I’ll try get a run in today with the 55. But 30+ people over for a pool party so maybe.

Oh some weight comparisons so you can see the weight difference. There is a bit!

 

[Rep732]

That brp setup is sexy

 

[Boostedmk3]

Damn look awesome.. Arw they a lot shorter than the stocks?

Yes that’s the difference between 6 ¾ and 7”. Lol. They look way smaller but aren’t that much different.

 

[Rep732]

Brp knobs with a big flex body just looks tough

 

[niz55]

Came out fantastic. Awesome setup.

 

[Boostedmk3]

Did you get the IRC medium springs yet? I just installed them on my rig but I’m thinking they’re a little much for my setup. I have the coil spun up near the top of the shock and it’s bouncy. Was thinking of trying the Losi springs you have.

 

[Clubin]

If it’s bouncy, you’ll want to try some heavier shock oil.

Yes I did receive them but haven’t had a chance to install Them and test.

Don’t forget to change the throttle servo from that Losi trash on your big bore rig. My Losi servo quit working on me yesterday full throttle while tuning on the road and rig took a beating. Endpoints were set perfect as well.
