That 813 is a carb best for top end speed for racing from what I’ve read and seen on YouTube. The exciter pump drops extra full drips at high rpm ... not sure what you run your rig like but most info I’ve seen is 990 or 1107 performance carb for typical bashing and ripping .

You can also give the throttle a couple of pumps to start it just like a 1:1 car

Agreed! I think the only way around having low end bog is a better engine with more horsepower. I still have a little even after some ported head work. I am trying to fine tune the low needle a little at a time in hopes of straight up tire spin right off idle. I mean a better carb for sure will help your power output, but eliminate low end bog no

I actually took out today and wore the front tires off of it. I have the XT tires on the way but I played with the low needle a littli today while bashing and the hesitation is gone. But now at high rpm it needs more something I need some ideas that's why I wanted the 813 carb w sealed bearings. What's you guys appinion.

I have mine idling just below where the clutch grabs (6K clutch).
Spins all 4 off the line every time.

Fired the MT up today after installing the ESP race ported head on the Zenoah g320 engine I have in there. Here is a short video of some of the upgrades I have on it.

Hey G-Man I want to upgrade to a bigger air filter for my rampage MT Pro to get more air flow. If I get the HPI Baja air filter is it a direct bolt on??? I ask because i notice in ur video it points up at an angle. Is that an extra fitting or something or does that come standard with the baja air filters?

Also ill be looking for your vid on how to do that gas tank vent as well.

Thx and great video and even better looking rig.

Thanks Man!!
Phill is correct. I use the ddm angled shred stack. Now the Hpi Baja filter assembly has been out of stock for some time now. The Rovan baja filter assembly is identical. I use the Rovan housing on my DR with HPI Foam filters. I feel the Hpi foams are better quality

now this might sound dumb, but do you have to use the HPI filter with the angled shred stack?
With that particular angled shred stack yes, it is made for baja style filter assemblies. There may be other ones made for clamp on types, but I am unfamiliar with them. I like the baja filter when used correctly it is the best IMO

Ok thanks and yeah it has great take off torque just want more from the top-end I'm gonna tinker with the gear ratios a little. I was waiting for the 2-speed to come available I want so bad.


So the narrow front make it steering better cause right now it's like the back is pushing the front. Don't like that I'm gonna probly get them exact tires and rims. Thanks buddy for info

Kevin's XB, Did you ever get that 2-speed? I've tinkered witht he gears and just not impressed. The factory gearing appears to be the best configuration aside from switching altogether.
