DBXL New to 1/5 scale. Dbxl questions

[KrystyonWayne]

I picked this up a couple of days ago for 350$. Figured good price even if for parts. If you can tell me anything about the engines, I would appreciate it. I am new to the 1/5 scale rc world. I have had a reveo 3.3 and a couple of redcat s30's but wanted to step up. Clutch was slipping but got it fixed and runs great. I found out the front diff casing is broke and right front dogbone keeps falling out.

I am still reading through threads about issues and working on getting answers for things I have noticed wrong. Answers and questions are welcomed and appreciated. Thank you in advance and probably an overload of pictures.

looks decent in the pics mate ,
dump the k&n style filter in the bin and get a good foam filter, the k&n is only gonna cause you issues and ruin your engine if you run in dusty places,
upgrade as you break stuff, alloy diff cases are available and are way stronger than the plastic stuff,
give it a full strip and check over,
most important is fit a killswitch before you run it, unless it already has one,
killer rc super bee is a good kill switch, other cheaper options are available though,

Arebyou talking a pre fileter for the k&n or a completely different filter. If different what ones are the best ones. I will be mainly plaing around in the yard and roads so not taking to tracks and racing. I am reading all the information that is on this forum.

Get a uni/tgn filter and throw the k&n in the trash.

Took it all apart yesterday and had a few screws break and found some wires that were bare. So I am needing to find a wiring harness to replace this one and a diagram to make sure everything is hooked up correctly. There are many aluminum upgrades that were done. I am checking those out to make sure all is well with them.

Probably, the dbxl needs a bit of help to become reliable.
