So here is how it sets now, the fly sky is installed and set up,got everything adjusted, still no run time yet hopefully when the weather gets better. The last picture shows a cheap way of keeping the fumes out of the house.....

Nice work buddy! Few things in the RC world bring me joy like seeing a dead RC resurrected and given a good loving new home.

I can probably say, this will go no where, if it wouldnt go thru plugs i would just let it sit and idle all day......:

Finally got my feet wet with 1/5 scale, but i have a few questions, is it better to run the 8000 RPM clutch as a basher, I'm not sure i like it, everytime the car would take off it was spinning like crazy, of course the tires on the rear are shot, so that could be the problem, next is, whats the best "budget" throttle servo, the one i put on it was one i took off one of my cars, hadnt been used alot, just seemed slow as far as coming off the throttle. Now the good news I HAVE VIDEO!!!! couldnt really do much with the slick tires but it was still a BLAST!!! the video was took with my droid so not the best quality, the car is at factory settings and I'm sure its still running WAY rich by the sound.

Whether you use the 6K or 8K spring on the clutch is depending on the surface you are running on. 8K spring works best on a high bite surface such as most dirt tracks. Surface you were on looks a little slick so you would have to feather the throttle slightly if you are using the 8K spring.

Hitec 5645MG or similar is a good T/B servo.

You are correct about being a tad rich.

 

[tmaxxfreek]

The grass was dry but man it was slick, So i should adjust the low speed needle first?

 

[robmob]

High first. You want it to have no signs of it sounding like it's bogging.

If it hesitates at launch, then you will need to adjust the low slightly. Keep in mind that adjusting the low will affect the idle speed.

Ok ,Thanks Rob, i hope to get some new tires for the rear, i have the stock set but the middle pins are shot so i think ill put a new set on the back, What would you recommend for grass and hard dirt? I was looking at the badlands.

 

[robmob]

Badlands are a good all around tire.

Got a little more run time with the Baja today, Almost got it tuned in, i think with a new set of tires it might carry the front wheels

got a little mud on the ole girl
