Just somewhere to document what I'm getting done, maybe get a little feedback from everybody too. I got this in the beginning of March. It wasn't very well maintained, and a few parts were broken. Now that I've had some overtime, I could finally start putting some money into it.
First thing I had to to is replace the pull start, since it wouldn't recoil all the way. Rather than screw with it, I figured I would just replace and and I can fix the old one and keep it as a spare.
At the same time, I pulled the air filter, cleaned it up and oiled it. Also installed OuterWears on the air filter and pull start.
Next I installed the Kill Switch from Killer RC. That was a pain to route the wire, but now that it's torn down I can do a better job of that.
Picked up a Dominator V1 rear pipe. Will have questions about that when I get that pic loaded.
On the the pics (The only thing anybody really cares about, right?)
How I got it, this was the day I brought it home.
The Dominator pipe, the bottom mounting tab doesn't touch the screw, and it was up on the roll cage and melted it a bit. Do I have to bend it? Or what do I need to do?
Tonight's tear down:
Will post more as I go, but the next things I have to do are:
Rebuild the shocks
Install a Killer RC power switch, stock switch would shut off if I hit a bump and the location sucked.
Replace the flywheel cover and the head cover
Install the 5T body mounts for a Team Chase cage
At this point, I have all those parts except the cage, and that's en route.
I'm also planning to make another big order next payday, not planning on getting this running anytime soon.
