Hey everyone, haven't been on in awhile since I introduced myself with my new 5B SS. I thought I would have tons of questions but coming from nitro and brushless stuff to these made it all pretty easy.. Haven't really had any problems with my Baja either.
But now I just won a 2wd FG MT on ebay. I don't have a whole lot of info on it except that it has a brand new zenoah 4-bolt full mod 30.5 trevor simpson reed motor, Dominator pipe, steel 2-speed tranny, new Zelkie true fire body, wheelie bar and disc brakes.
I need advice on the first things that are going to need to be done to this thing to make it reliable. I don't have it yet it's in the mail so I don't know if it has alloy engine mounts or not, but I'm guessing with that motor it would be a good idea.
Also the only bad thing that I have heard about the 2-speeds is that the one way bearing is exposed to everything when off road. I found a cover for the 2-speed and seems like a good idea.
Of course the killer b, outer wears filters for the intake, flywheel and lower case. Anything else? I'll get oil and adjust the shocks later as needed. Thanks
