well I got it today and I'm quite surprised how sturdy it is. The foam is a lot nicer than I thought. I'm satisfied with the product as a replacement for the stock plastic piece.
A spray bottle full of simple green and a small air compressor gets everything nice and new looking.
I spray it on, let it soak for a minute and blow everything off.
wal-mart carries it in the automotive isle.
there not really worth it. the shock shafts arnt getting hit with any major force of dirt or rocks. In the atv world we use shock covers to protect the shaft from the guy in front of you throwing rocks. with these little trucks/cars there not getting hit hard enough to damage the shock itself...
Ive never waterproofed anything. but that's cause I could careless if it breaks. before I take it out, I spray wd-40 over the whole truck, play, then as soon as I bring it in I use a compressor to blow all the snow off, and wd-40 it again.
may not be the best way but it works for me.
already tried to replace the plug. and the traxxas fuel is the easiest thing I have access to. I think my hobby shop does have another type of fuel but ill have to look.
running a HPI plug with traxxas 20%. idle is fine it just wont rev.
It has about a gallon of fuel through it. It ran fine with the first gallon then it just started doing this.
my truck will not even run with factory settings. and i've tried to lean the low speed.
Judicator. i'd be happy to...
Engine is the k5.9
brand new 3 weeks ago.
This is my last attempt to mess with this engine. If you guys cant help me i'm getting the LRP .28
symptoms: engine starts fine, I can go from idle to quarter throttle for about 15 seconds then it stalls. If i go from idle to half throttle it...
Is this literally a drop in engine for an xl?
or will I need to buy anything else along with it to make it work?
I'm not liking my 5.9 to much right about now.
well I race motocross and I own a 10 acre track and i'm attempting to jump the savage on 40 feet + jumps. most of the time it makes it but sometimes I come up short. I'm attempting to make some videos.
