Guys should I use the standard baja filter or this https://www.davesmotors.com/High-Flow-Cup-Foam-Air-Filter-for-CY-RC-Engines-270-024000?sc=12

Standard HPI filter all day long. That thing you’ve posted is garbage.

Noooooooooooo it's not a nitro, and the hpi filter is awesome. About the only stock filter I want to run.

You guys put loctite on carb bolts?

I use high temp sealant

I did on my new motor, can't say if it makes a difference or not. And can't say I've had one loosen without It (breaking one tho, that's a different story )

 

[blackrain]

I don’t, I don’t think it’s necessary the heat probably melt the loctite anyway

I use high temp sealant

How’s those builds coming along

 

[DougStar]

Never used any

 

[RcJunkie13]

was just wondering, sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t, never had one loosen. Air filter all back on, used grease where parts join. Lol now I’m super paranoid about dirt getting in the engine.

 

[Seandonato73]

Nope

 

[RcJunkie13]

Dang, the g320 is insane compared to the 36. But, servo saver is...... gone (after a couple tumbles). Sooo... should I go symsteer?

 

[Z.hb71]

Some pics, you can see the wear on the parts, and what is left of the washer that once held on the spring. How does the wear looks, if it’s not bad, I’ll just buy spring and washer

 

[Z.hb71]

Can't see poop, take it apart and take pics

 

[RcJunkie13]

Tmrw

 

[RcJunkie13]

How do I get these little posts out?

You need to undo your shock tower brace and all the steering.

RTFM dude.

In fact you probably need to disassemble the whole front end. At least separate the top plate from the chassis.
That’s what it looks like from inside. My bits are just alloy but the same none the less.

 

[RcJunkie13]

Pics of wear, quite a bit of slop

 

[DougStar]

Looks toast to me save some $$$ and get the tr setup
