Well, just noticed today that my stock tired are nearly toasted. They are separating from the wheel. Gonna CA glue em back on and hope that holds better than the factory glue did. Gotta love that brushless power! Also I checked out that site. Seems like a good place to get stock parts, and i...

I just received mine the other day. First thing I did with it was swap out the stock motor and ESC with a Team Losi Exceloron(sp?) ESC and 6000KV motor, a 1650mah LiPo. I tried using the stock radio and receiver, but they dont work so well with the new ESC which sucked. can't reverse the throttle...

Just pulled the trigger for one of these. can't wait to receive it.

Sorry, forgot the link. And yeah, it looks waaaay more appealing than the 5T. Its like a scaled up SC8, and its 4wd. I've spoken to a US based FS Racing dealer and hes waiting for his demo models to come in from China. The FS Racing brand is a knock off of MCD, and is good for the cost, though...

I was on RCtech.net, browsing their largescale section and came across a thread with alot of different sites that sell 1/5th scale on road and off road trucks. So while I was on Oversizerc.com, I came across the FS Racing 1/5th Desert truck. Its a 1/5th scale Pro2 CORR style truck, and...

Yes, I will go out to baghdad, find the nearest hobby store and snap up some ARO. Really isnt an option out here lol.

lol WD40 has worked just fine for me so far. Wish I could seal the engine up in such a way as to keep the air out, but no luck. I'm in Iraq. I'm lucky to have what little in hobby supplies as I have now lol.

Ok, so I'm cleaning up my Slayer so that I can ship it back home. Gonna be moving around here in country soon and wont have the time nor the place to play with my R/C car. So my question is, besides cleaning the outside, what all do I need to do to properly store my engine? I've already given...

That body is amazing. If I convert my 5B to a 5T, screw the stock bodys, I'm getting that. I just wonder how will it will hold up to rollovers and such.

5th scale rocks, but its freaking expensive. I just recently spent $400 on my Baja, bought a few stock plastic parts, some aluminum suspension upgrades, new tires/wheels, and a few other misc items. And I still need to get a Rhino steering servo ($115 servo!). Its not for the faint of wallet...

Alrighty, heat cycled my engine for roughly 25 minutes of running time (i.e. I'm not counting the time it spent cooling off). I had half a tank left so for a bit I drove it and tried to get it at least slightly in tune. Was giving good response in the 240-250 range but I feel this was too hot so...

I'm just going to try and straight up heat cycle it for a couple tanks and then just start babying it. Gone through 3/4 of a tank already. Getting the temp up to 200 and then keeping it there a few minutes before stopping the motor, putting the piston BDC and letting it cool and repeating. Its...

I own a Slayer, and in stock form its a great off road truck. On road though, best be ready to spend alot of time on your lid. Its made for off-road. Its very durable though. So far most of my problems have been engine related and caused by user error. Great R/C truck though, especially for the...

Tried using a sock. You dont understand though, lol. My motor was dumping fuel out the exhaust. I should take a pick of the dark spot where I ran the first tank. Even with a blow dryer and a sock on the engine, it wouldnt go above 165. On my second tank I got it to run at around 190-210 pretty...

Yeah on this engine I made sure to mark BDC on my flywheel when i installed the flywheel. I've learned alot since I broke in my 3.3, but I want to take proper care of this engine.

Ok. I just got my new O.S. .21TM, and after spending yesterday prepping it I started break in today. Finished tank 1 recently. I planned on heat cycling it originally, but I was apparently running it ridiculously rich for that first tank and it was hard to get the temp above 150 degrees. I'm...

My 3.3 just died to overheating due to air leak. And guess what, it leaked from the front bearing. Extra lame lol. Seems to be a common problem?

Lol, I always get my fingers and hands scraped and cut up when I play with my Baja because of the pull start. Never gotten any blisters though.

I sense sarcasm! :P Anyhow, we ran our class this Sunday. My Slayer, 2 other Slayers and an SC8. Was great! First heat was kinda lame as they had just watered the track and we were the first to go. Too much traction! Its way more fun on a dry track so that one can powerslide through the turns.
