RJJ Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 I have a question for you Rav, so I know a lot of folk cut a small piece of the side of the engine cover... Just wondering why you've chopped the whole top off it? Better cooling or..? Billet head mate its higher than a usual engine by a small margin and cover needs to be cut to fit. Thats about as much as you can get away with as that cover also directs airflow from fan around engine. I would imagine it aids a bit in cooling as well. Due to the big window in the modified front tower plus air coming in around steering posts and then exiting out back plus air filter hole, 4 holes on exhaust side and also a little larger cutout on window near cap allow plenty of airflow in and out of shell without drilling windows on this. I had no heating issue or servo fade etc during any of the heats and it kept the mud out as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJJ Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Evening all, a video I put together today for this build as I had a fair few requests on Facebook forums. Enjoy http://youtu.be/JL5VqlrVB6o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatteh316 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Look it!! Question though? Have you ever run into heat issues with the engine during racing? I'm doing a buggy conversion myself and worried a bit about heat on my G320. Also what front bumper do you use and how is it mounted? And do you run a rear bumper?

nitrocat Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I'm building one to and last summer I had the DBXL conversion and I built it because of the heat in the car But the RR5 the heat shield will work in the car I even went with the RR5 gas tank But I've broke two of them so many go back to the Losi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
