Thanks again sean yeah handles well, and much much more powerful. Plus more durability. Only issue I'm having is the fecking tank vent isn't venting (I know how to fix it ) and i need a new exhuwst coupler (stupid reused the old one) . Easy stuff ,other then that it ran flawless and I'm totally happy with it now time to really beat it down

 

[DougStar]

Makes a big difference when your rig is up to spec nice when you get yo the point when you need to fill the tank and everything is still a

So I got a question. When I ran the rig yesterday and before it seems like it turns alot better and quicker, which is strange cuz I got 300k diff oil and the setup other then that is mostly the same. Would it be becuase I have 1 inch extenders in the rear to make it wider? Just curious, and I deffo ain't complaining, much better handling

 

[KevTrem]

Could it be that it's coz the front end is all tight and fresh??
I know my baja turned great when I renewed the front end, its a bit sloppy now though.
Have you changed servo or battery etc??

 

[Z.hb71]

No serves all the same, the front and rear end is way less sloppy from last time though

 

[Z.hb71]

Got some more nectar, castor 927 and some coolant hose for the exhuast. Probably wont last like every other thing I used (including vcrs own poop), but atleast I have a foot of it
Shes rtr again, hopefully next run I'll get some proper running in, and no tank vent issues.

if this spring preload gives you the right ride height, i’d consider changing to harder ones soon.
very good looking baja btw!

Thanks. Yeah the rear suspension is a bit soft. I'm going to try the stiffer upper springs I have , and if that's not enough I'll throw 40wt in the shocks (I have 37wt currently)

 

[Z.hb71]

Ok three 40wt in and stiffer springs and it's much better

 

[Z.hb71]

Just went and drove it, this thing is fekking crazy lol. Got a decent tune on it and it hauls. No issues other than my homemade wing didnt make it I did record so I'll upload it tonight for yall

Fekkin tire studs ain't holding on so well anymore

 

[Z.hb71]

Here you go. My filming was actually pretty good in this video except for a few moments.

Hello I recently purchased a used losi 5 tnor b 2.0 im not sure which but how would I go about yonidentify my engine? I know it's a two bolt font pull the engine and look gor the serial number under the block? Thanks in advance

 

[Z.hb71]

If it's a 2 bolt its probably a 23 or 26 (since it's a losi its most likely a 26) . Only way to tell is to pop the cylinder off and measure the stroke. But honestly it's not worth all the effort, they are poop and underpowered, especially for a rig that heavy

Do you have a gps to check speed? Sounds great!
