Being that the weather is bad, I'm about to turn my MT into a monster. Here are the upgrades:


HPI Baja air filter

On my way to pick up a new toy while this is getting done. I'll post some pic later.

Not 100% but I think it's the same thing I recently purchased. I picked up a velocity stack for an aftermarket air filter. It's the piece that attaches to the carb so an aftermarket airfilter can be mounted to it.
 
My Beast. All aluminum steering components. HS755mg dual steering servos. Throttle is HS645mg servo. Dual servo saver. All new shocks. Replaced all bearings with the Boca Bearing kit. Changed Wheels to Vertigo adapters.

Engine: Oh the engine.

Since this was used and kinda mistreated. Not serviced real well. I started looking at things and found cross-threaded bolts, different sized hardware in the exhaust port, the dirt shield under the engine was installed with a liberal portion of "Gorilla Glue". It was caked solid.

But that is all good. This is a hobby and I enjoy working on the truck.

So, instead of a long block. I got the ESP ported 30.5cc top end with the stuffed crank. A 998 Walbro carb. A JetPro rear mounted exhaust, and redid the intake with an angled stack and air filter covered with Outerwear cover.

So, that will be my Beast when I get it back together in the Fall! :eek:

A special thanks to Fearless who has led me thru a bunch of possible mistakes. Who has led me to some expensive solutions. And most of all the information and offered continuing access. Thanks a bunch!!

I ordered a bearing kit from Boca bearings. All of the parts list say there are 20 bearings in the truck and gives the sizes.

How many bearings are really in the truck? Because I ran out and have not even gotten to the rear diff!

Good thing I have some on order.
