Rover Man Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 The compound of the tyre will make little to no difference running on grass so run what you have. I assume you have the stock FG Marder wheels and tyres ??? If so they'll be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROBSTER 1992 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 So now I'm running Medium Compound Tyres 29cc 2 Bolt Chung Yang Engine with Tuning Insulator Block and a 603 Carb with Choke Mod and Chung Yang Standard Fg Foam Filter and I have Decided to put My Jetpro Pipe Back on instead of a Samba I might as well use it cause if I did get a samba My Jetpro would just sit in my Cupboard not getting used the Jetpro pipes are not the best pipes in the world I know that but they aren't bad pipes they do the job they are very loud though still going to be running my breather pipe on it made a big difference I think but other people say it doesn't need it but it's my car so I am leaving it as it is I will be running Racing Venom next year my choice as its my car I have a nice Fg Marder Standard Bodyshell I really like them they look good had to do a bit of work to my Rear Spoiler it was Battered. Here's Some pics. I still need to put the pull starter on and the Jetpro pipe and then it's done. [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpmart Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 With six years experience running FG's and you agreeing with your mates at that we talk a load of old pony on here, I don't understand why you keep asking for advice. You and your mates clearly know so much more than we do? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rover Man Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Looks good. Thats an old pull start going by the sticker lol. Also a couple of tips. The zip ties round the battery to battery holder, Remove them and use electrical tape. The ties will break the battery bars with the vibration. And you may want to look at the rubber coupling mod for your pipe. Rear mounted one piece pipes will snap the head of the case with a bad rear end landing. Got to love a Marder though. where it all started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatout! Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 How come you haven't been running a kill switch all this time youve been running? It was something I got put on straight away before I even started my Baja up, have you had a run away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Yup. No killswitch is asking for trouble. Had a servo burnout on the Baja jamming the throttle wide open. No drama with a killswitch, just press and the ignition is off. Otherwise....you watch 15Kg of car heading off at close on 40mph with no way to stop it. The failsafe will put on the brakes....not...as the servo was locked up solid and smoking. Best I could have done was drive in circles flat out until I crashed or it ran out of fuel ...

flatout! Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) I did have a fail safe that's built in give me some crap, I'd not set the rx to the right setting on the t/b so when I turned my tx off it put it on full throttle instead of the brake and it was off, stuck wide open tyres was at full expansion lol! About 12" in diameter lol! I couldn't get to the stop button coz the tyres was in the way with um being so big at this time. Lucky I had the trusty tuning screwdriver in mi pocket tad longer than ax normal screwdriver lol! Good job coz I only just got to the bottom lol! If I'd of swiched the tx back on it would of stopped but I thought all was ok. If run off so I did what I thought was best and made it worse lol! U live and learn everyday ?
