[John Parks]

[Rep732]

I try to stay ahead of the curve around here john ... some build threads around here are starting to look like retirement projects

What size motor is that? Looks like a pit bike! I hope you post a video when she's together

 

[Rep732]

It's a 34cc ESP engine with race porting

 

[Rgarbarino]

All those upgrades and stock servos?

 

[Rep732]

Yea....and? I chose to buy a raptor so servos had to wait ...here's my real 5t

Hey did you leave the factory oil in the front and rear diff after adding the center locker?

 

[Rep732]

No I went 100k front and I put a vertigo locker in the rear.

 

[Boostedmk3]

No I went 100k front and I put a vertigo locker in the rear.

Was there a big improvement? I saw another build where they added 500k front and rear and was thinking of that. Not sure what results to expect though.

 

[Rep732]

I wouldnt call it an improvement but I change the fluids to suit how I want to drive it. 500k in the front is too much imo.

 

[Seandonato73]

60 to 100k up front, need the tires to be able to turn at different rates to steer decently.

 

[Rep732]

Seans right and I wouldn't go past 110k as that's what's in my front now and it's good. I did do 125k in the front on my 1st 2.0 but since I did it again I went less this time.

This is the video I got the idea from.

Yes that 35 rocks. I’m thinking it makes more power than my reed OBR 34ss

I’m thinking it has some sneaky mods. Seems like they are testing for Taylor according to description. Maybe a reed or ported 35. Moves really good for that gearing

Well boys 3 runs later and the last being today in some super dusty conditions in sand and you guessed it I blew another engine. I thought I had the upper hand with the spyder filter and yea not a chance, the engine still ran pretty good but it's not going to last. I'll post my findings tomorrow as I did for the red arrow.

 

[Boostedmk3]

oh nooo. Were you running an outerwears cover on the filter?
