Have a look at Wearside Bash and Trash on facebook Cheers Dave :)

What light flash is the killswitch making, it tells u why its cut off. Check end points on channel 3. Try with both servos disconnected, then if it runs okay connect one at a time if its a low battery cut out, could be an old tired battery or servo. If its a range cut out then check the battery and range of the tx/rx If its ****ed then try Jolly Roger on here as he makes them. Cheers Dave

Can't see that in 25mm ID, anyone drop a link on here for it Cheers Dave :)

Ordered this as it has the highest heat rating I could find, gonna give it a try see if it lasts longer than the last stuff.www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silicone-Heater-Radiator-Hose-Coolant-Car-Engine-Pipe-Silicon-Rubber-New/290841193823?hash=item43b77c6d5f:g:A3UAAOSw~oFXFH2Z:rk:1:pf:0CheersDave :)

Very interested in this as i have the same issue on my DBXL, tried a couple of pipe options and tried wrapping joint with exhaust heat wrap but this didn't give the rigidity needed. Got to be a fix out there Cheers Dave :)

Mate i get you with the kit form which is a great learning aid but trust me, after a year of owner ship you will know every nut and bolt anyway, quite a bit of hands on engineering knowledge required. Diffs need doing every year, bearings need doing every year, servos go tits up and on and on ........... Find a local group on here or on Facebook and turn up, pick a few brains, see where they run and what they run, may give you a better idea if you want 2WD or 4WD, never had 2 WD myself and watching them they need a lot more skill to drive around a track but are great fun too. Oh and don't buy any real cheap stuff as it is generally awful, stick with the main brands. Cheers Dave

All the Losi 5B and 30 degree north buggies I have come across have had overheating issues due to the too compact design. Not sure if you want 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive, 2 WD drive Baja can be had new for £375 to £575 from RCmodelz, 4 WD look at Losi 5T or 30 dgree north truck or DBXL, dbxl will need alloy gearboxes if not already fitted. Please be prepared for bash, break, fix, repeat cycle that we all go through, so tools and consumables are a must. Not sure if you are buying new but a well looked after, upgraded with useful alloy bits used one may be a good buy too. Cheers Dave

Anyone have a pair of original turnbuckles for a Losi DBXL in their spares ? CheersDave :)

Bash it till its broke then replace the broken bit with an upgrade and repeat :) Cheers Dave :)

Just bend a new loop out from the original spring with pliers. Dave

Just gonna leave it, she's never been slow with the Zen 320 in Cheers Dave

Was on when i got it, assumed its a mod to stop chassis flex, its a big solid lump of stainless plate. Dave

Winter overhaul all done, all brgs, diffs, track rod ends upgraded to 6mm, modded the brakes so they don't self adjust. just waiting for 1 small bit Cheers Dave

Have a look here https://www.facebook.com/groups/1556356624632724/ Cheers Dave

Money sent for the above parts after seeing photos Cheers Dave

PM sent Cheers Dave

How much posted for the stock panels, 3x Universal rebuild kits and 2x Diff rebuild kits (minus gaskets) Cheers Dave

DBXL manual says front and rear diffs 30,000cs centre diff 50,000 cs Shocks for dbxl are 3000 wt diff oil Mine runs a Zen 32 so I have 100k centre diff, 50k front and rear Shocks have DDM stronger springs and 6k diff oil Not sure if MTXL has same shocks but the MTXL manual quotes 5000 wt Cheers Dave

Had that myself, tried allsorts of adjusting, turned out to be the servo not re-centering very well, got another to try ? Cheers Dave

I need a couple of turnbuckles, anyone got any lying around Cheers Dave

Isolator blocks can warp too and give issues gap should be 0.3mm carb settings

All tight round carb and exhaust ? new plug with correct gap. correct coil gap. Whats the compression like, fuel pipes and tank filter, pipes correct way round , next step would be to drop off head and check ring and bore. Cheers Dave

Wonder if one of you nice chaps could measure an original turnbuckle for me, please set the original plastic turnbuckle gap of 49 mm between the threaded ends of the plastic (as per the manual) and then measure the distance between the centre of mounting eyes, Just to give me a starting point with alloy replacements.CheersDave

Nowt a bit of T cut won't sort out Cheers Dave
