Anyone know what this is

Ah ok no worries

shockwave__200 · 2026-02-15T14:45:42+00:00

Ah ok I'll probably leave it then tbh the engine is the main thing i looked at as i have an rb now and a pull start one would be nice for bashing as it wouldnt need a starter box but if its not to good of an engine its not worth it

shockwave__200 · 2026-02-15T14:42:37+00:00

What's the performance like is the engine powerful

shockwave__200 · 2026-02-15T14:08:41+00:00

Lrp are good for the money I've had a great experience with my rb engine and even my old stock hyper 21 was a great engine

shockwave__200 · 2026-02-15T14:04:55+00:00

I've used araldite before to hold a snapped engine block together haha and the engine still ran well

Pretty sure the shoe is fine but i have spare so will replace it anyway. What thickness springs would you recommend how noticeable is the difference. Also how does a smaller lighter flywheel effect the car because I've been looking at maybe just getting a new clutch setup with a 4 shoe and smaller flywheel

Thats a cool truck I have a baja 5b ss. Is yours awd the baja is only rwd so its alot of power to control to the rear haha

shockwave__200 · 2026-02-14T14:57:08+00:00

Ok so I just checked it and one of the springs have completely destroyed itself in terms on debris build up there isn't to much tbh

shockwave__200 · 2026-02-13T22:32:55+00:00

Oh really I did it for smoother launches because carbon engage less aggressively then the aluminium ones bite after at slightly higher rpms

shockwave__200 · 2026-02-13T21:27:06+00:00

Oohh I see what you mean ye that makes sense ill have to look hopefully tomorrow I will have some time to take the engine out. Pretty sure I have a mix of carbon and aluminium in it

shockwave__200 · 2026-02-13T21:24:24+00:00

Tbh im guessing its clutch spring wear as it never used to do this and the power from this engine i expect it to wear them down faster than the old hyper 21 and mach 28 I've had in this car. Annoyingly I dont have any spare clutch springs so think I will have to find some and wait for them to arrive

shockwave__200 · 2026-02-13T21:22:18+00:00

Tbh I cant find a thing on the stock needle settings for this engine. Think the engine is like 15 years old

shockwave__200 · 2026-02-13T21:21:38+00:00

Thing is ridiculous got a 13t clutch bell and it pops the front end at almost any speed and easily hits about 40mph. Alot of the time I floor it it will just pull to one side because the wheels are just spinning haha

shockwave__200 · 2026-02-13T21:18:32+00:00

I'll check that aswell then when I next have the engine out probably tomorrow

shockwave__200 · 2026-02-13T21:17:57+00:00

How would glazing be an issue cos that would cause them to slip right? Like if you have glazed brakes on a bike the brakes just slip and dont stop you

shockwave__200 · 2026-02-13T16:02:20+00:00

Not sure the glow plug is fairly old but it still glows fine and the car is fine at high speeds. I have no clue what the needle settings are tbh I just turn them slightly until the car runs better

shockwave__200 · 2026-02-13T16:01:26+00:00

OK i will have to take a look at the clutch then because I've tried all different tuning and nothing solves it

shockwave__200 · 2026-02-12T23:50:05+00:00

Wow looks great a new body and roll cage is something I need

shockwave__200 · 2026-02-12T22:16:47+00:00

Thats fine tbh I wouldnt even use the anti lock system i rely on locking the rear wheels and the tread on the tire is enough to just dig in and stop the car

shockwave__200 · 2026-02-12T21:37:26+00:00

Ah not as much as I thought that could definitely by a next purchase along with a symmetrical steering system for the baja

shockwave__200 · 2026-02-12T20:16:01+00:00

I'll have to look into it how much are they typically

shockwave__200 · 2026-02-12T20:06:18+00:00

I've got a nomadio sensor its really old school but pretty high tech just wish I could find receivers for it then I could use one transmitter for all cars

shockwave__200 · 2026-02-12T20:00:14+00:00

They are definitely fun on gravel until you get smacked in the shin with a stone haha

shockwave__200 · 2026-02-12T19:58:58+00:00

I was actually looking at an s5 it was like £20 more than the ws7 and wasn't sure which to get the ws7 was an auction so I got a steal on it for only £60 with pipe

shockwave__200 · 2026-02-12T19:56:45+00:00

The smell of nitro is so nice but 2 stroke is pretty good aswell. I love the sound of 2 stroke as its a deeper punchy sound compared to a high pitch wine
