Get the cen pipe 7.7 remove the baffle or dynamite 086 or Ofna 086.
They're are all kinds of youtube videos on this. All of these pipes will keep your engine cooler. Also a better engine plate will help. I use
Hpi HD engine mount
GH 5.9 cooling head
And just upgraded to the cen 7.7 but haven't...
Yeah I agree , but I run with my buddy he's got a x rtr and he spends just as much tuning his as I do . And both are stock gearing and I blow his away . As well as bashing and clearance I like the XL. I got goliaths .
I'm just now getting into the motors and pipe end of it .
Also the steering...
I was told the rtr engine is better than the ss engine and there's only 2 adjustment needles on the rtr and it's a upgrade of the ss 4.6,
Might wanna look into that as well .
Xl better radio , diffs , 3 speed trans , HD dog bones , extended axles
I never had problems with my 5.9 except running hot .
You'd definitely want new tires and rims , and a 086 pipe or cen pipe .
If you got the $ a better engine eventually
I didn't know about the roto-start until after I ordered the irc , I read it on somebody else's thread. I was mad at first , then after a couple bud lights I thought " This is all the more reason to get the Picco " LOL
Ive never used a pullstart so I'll be researching on that till I get it.
Thanx i'm just a Basher, I've never had problems with the half lean thing .
My XL was my first RC and unknowingly I didn't like the long fuel lines and shortened them, later to find out I eliminated the problem my friend had LOL.
