No more removing that tiny throttle screw when I want to remove the motor

[Rover Man]

Nice one rover man
you will find the Losi so easy to work on
It is a pleasure

[Rover Man]

anything will be easyer than the V4

[tectic]

So Here is a list of what I have done to the Losi so far

Replaced the stock motor with a DPR Wildchild 29.5cc
Replaced the stock exhaust with a Victory RC tuned pipe
Replaced the stock clutch carrier with a Darksoul clutch carrier due to the stock bearings seizing after first run.
Replaced the stock front and rear chassis braces with Turtle racing braces
Replaced the stock wheels and tyres for Baja 5T Silverback wheels and Hostile tyres
Replaced the stock fuel lines for Fullforce RC high flow fuel line kit
Replaced the stock fuel cap with a Kraken RC bullet fueller
Replaced the stock steering servo with a Savox SV0236 servo
Replaced the stock throttle servo with the stock steering servo
Replaced the stock air filter foams with DT-1 filter elements and outerwares
Replaced the stock throttle linkage with a Fulkill RC quick disconnect throttle linkage
Replaced the stock radio with Futaba

Installed a Pitbull RC pull start extender
Installed a Team chase rear chassis skid plate
Installed a killer bee Kill switch
Installed a Duda Designs RC whip aerial

Modded the throttle servo with tie bars to reduce servo tray flex
shoe gooe'd the battery and radio box holes to stop water ingress
Gorilla taped the body to stop paint degradation and chipping
Installed front and rear debris bulkheads
Over bored the rear alignment pin housings to stop them seizing
Installed a mesh plate to stop the spur gear catching the clutch housing
Installed a Go pro mount

Mmm I had'nt realised I had done so much to it

Took the rear hubs off today to check the bearings
Found them very rough to turn and gritty

Removed the plastic covers and cleaned them then oiled them up
Running better now but shows the stock bearings are rubbish
Got some ceramic bearings on order good price too

[jony nitro]

Very nice, Fullkill linkage are good, I have one on my Baja

make sure you have both alloy extension bracket`s and not the L shaped bracket,cable tied conecting tubeing poor/cable tie`s dont hold thin jubilee clip`s work but tubing melt`s fit`s ok but finnish is rushed low quality paint this could be the first batch so improvement`s might have been made
on the plus side they work well with the standard lump and not as loud as the vcr pipe like wayne`s
best largescale i`ve had jeff

[Sphinx]

Yep it was one of the first batch so got the correct brackets.
Ive had the raw finish so no probs with rubbish paint lol
Ive got very good zip ties i use on the pipe on my v4 so no issues there

Cant wait to get my hands on it and see how it goes
