what upgrade will you buy next?

[evssv]

It's just a stock rcmk twin marine case atm, the powerspark has adjustable timing + remote kill and rpm counter all in one

sounds expensive

 

[DougStar]

Ok that sounds like the gear to have

Here's a link https://www.power-spark.de/index_en.html
The site is a nightmare though?
Think it will cost me a couple of hundred quid

.....not too bad I guess.....

 

[DougStar]

want some of these





These are heavy duty brakes for the Losi 5ive. Properly vented, these brakes will last longer and provide more consistent grip. With these sealed and booted brake discs, we can now grease the drive cups and shafts for the center diff, greatly reducing the wear on the drive cups and the drive shaft pins on the Losi 5ive They are sold in a set with: 2 brake discs 2 boots (HPI Baja boots cut to length) 2 high temp (Viton) o-rings 3 zip ties (1 extra spare)

They work. I have them on the 5ive T. Throw some grease in the boots really helps withh the wear.
My disks look and feel shot but they still stop the truck.

 

[DougStar]

feel shot

How long have you had them?

 

[Whoduh]

To be honnest.....I don't know how long I've had them. Picked them up from my local hobby shop a while back(at least 2yrs ago)....i'll take some pics of the condition tomorrow....i ain't goin' out to my garage right now....too comfortable laying in front of the fireplace....might even sleep here if my wife doesn't kick me and tell me to go to bed when she walks by.

 

[DougStar]

Hell no! don't move i wouldnt either

 

[Whoduh]

Lost the boots...probably about 1yr ago????..don't remember when that happend either.....maybe i should try to replace them..?

I did the ball point pen spring mod thing back when I installed the brakes.

The Disks DEFINITELY have some wear on them but they still work fine.

Front.


Rear.


I can pull them off the truck to get a better look if you want....but thats gonna have to wait till tomorrow.

everthing is bigger with a 70cc, i was surprised too when I got the first crank, now im used to it and when I look at the smaller engine internals im like "awwww its so cute and small!"

Ok I got a comparison for ya. 5.9l cummins engine block I was rebuilding for a customer. The connecting rod leaning against it is out of a v16 wakasha.
