Hello from Dallas,Texas U.S.A.

Today 4-18-2018 the new Rovan 5B 36cc came in.

Pulled it out of the box and spent about 3 hours just looking the entire buggy over, checking screws and linkages.
Only thing I noticed right away was that there was a little oil around the gear box, likely was just some residual oil from assembly. Not a big deal and Ill just keep an eye on it.

Everything else looked really good and I could not find any bolts that were loose anywhere.
One thing I did alter was the fuel lines that go into the fuel tank looked like they were getting pinched by the rubber seal on the fuel tank. I went and bought some 5/32 aluminum tubing and put it into the rubber seal and just connected the fuel hoses to both sides of the tubing. No more pinched fuel line.
Also made adjustment to the front steering to get a better alignment with the rear tires for better straight line tracking.

Followed the break in procedure to the T. Spent nearly 2 hours breaking in the motor. Most of that time was spent idling and just cooling off.

Instead of using pump gas I chose to use tru fuel which has no ethanol and a non synthetic 2 stroke oil for break in.

Now that the motor is broken in I will switch over to a 2 stroke synthetic and continue with the 4 stroke tru fuel ethanol free petrol / gasoline.

Blows off clean and nice with a little air.

Easily cleans right up and looks new again.
So cool.
