Oh How Original Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 You've mentioned they've done that a few times, I wonder if they're doing it for everyone or just you because you've spent quite a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losi8igh Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Couple of questions if I can please What air filter set up are you now using? I see you had the TR airbox thing a while ago but didn't you sell it? Now I have the G320 in the air filter is very close to the rollcage and the body is a bit more difficult to get on and off as it is now wider than the stock engine/air filter set up. Also is your exhaust the specific G320 Bartolone,like this one http://www.freeprawnracing.co.uk/bartolone-32cc-tuned-pipe-for-losi-5ive-w-zehoah-g320-black.html as there don't seem to be any around anywhere although I don't mind buying the regular version either but I think I would have to get the silenced version if I cant find the G320 specific one.

.AJ. Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 I'm using a Bartolone air filter as well, I got rid of the air box because it made it hard to get to the fuel line connectors and also it was to close to the fuel cap for my liking, if I spilt fuel on the filter it would wash out the oil and it could dust the engine.... And yea I'm running the proper G320 pipe, last time I looked DDM had the silenced one instock, you could ask Nige at Freeprawn to order you one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losi8igh Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 One last question Did you get stung for customs charges after ordering from DDM? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Yea, but was only £25 (marked as $100 on the paperwork), they use FedEx who bill for the customs after delivery, it speeds things up nicely, if you ordered it tomorrow morning it would be delivered Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Have you managed to try the vipers with km beadlocks? I got some new 5t vipers cheap for my rcmk xcr. Just seeing how u got on before mounting them. I have km/silverback/area rc alloy beadlocks to choose from so not sure what's best to use. It's a hateful job so doing it numerous times doesn't appeal.

Oh How Original Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Few more folk on FB have agreed that Uber should be buying them back. Might be worth hanging onto 'em fella in case they do indeed recall them all with refunds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 OK that's interesting. Will keep an eye out to see how it plays out. Lovely truck you have though AJ.

.AJ. Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Cheers, I've pretty much got her to where I want now and can't see any major changes or upgrades for a while now, but the shell is starting to get a bit battered, so that's definitely next on the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Sorry fella I can't find the post it was on now, it was one of the 5ive groups though. I don't really usually pay too much attention to what's posted where, so can't find the post again now Still, it does show they are inferior. Fingers crossed Mark does the right thing.

.AJ. Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 I've sent Mark another email, I've also asked if he's going to replace them when the new ones are out, let's see what he has to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Still word back from Uber about the tyres..... Also spotted a problem with my brakes For some reason the front inside pad has worn really badly, I've spoken to MIP about it and we cant workout why (I have a feeling the muddy bash and the extra 15kg of mud were to blame but I didn't mention that) so they are sending me out a set of replacement pads FOC, can't complain at they as they are £25 a set, also they have suggested a different linkage set up, I've sourced the bits and will update the thread when I do it, for now I'm just going the swap the front pads around so I won't have any down time waiting for the new pads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG15 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Nothing to do with the OTT servo you have on the brakes? Although the 5ive stock brakes are on a cam type design aren't then? Looks like that is forcing one side of the pad into the disk more than the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Not the servo, the MIP lads use a 1000 on their brakes they said they have never seen this kind of wear before, it could just be a crappy pad.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
