Picture of my MT5 and brothers 5B

[NitroBurn]

Here is a picture of my MT5 next to my brothers Baja. Over the next few weeks I'm going to be adding an x-can and a race ported 29cc head kit. I did change the clutch spring to HPI's high response spring. It was bogging bad on take off without it. This truck definitely needs more power than a stock cy23. Also the front shock springs are a bit to short, you have to adjust the preload all the way down to take up all the slack. Even then at full droop there is a small gap. I plan to get the RAMTech 20%+ springs to fix this. Over all, this is the best RC I have ever bought.

why does your truck body say Rampage and mine says Monster Big Truck?

 

[satttheman]

nice rides

 

[NitroBurn]

Did your truck come with a decal sheet with a rampage sticker to cover the monster big truck sticker?


Thanks for the compliment sattheman. My brother is painting a Proline desert rat body for his 5B right as I am typing this now.

Nice rides... Interesting paint job on the 5b... I think I will paint my truck likes yours... Oh wait it already is... Oh yeah, no painting skills here...

Agreed. No painting skillz here either. It is a sharp looking body for stock.

Got it.


Cool Baja, love the paint job.

 

[NitroBurn]

Thanks guys. My brother has gotten better with the airbrush. I am going to have him paint me a body for my truck some time. Probably after I shred the stock one.

Cool post a pic when done.

I see a chain on the ground in the backround-Tug-o-war???

 

[NitroBurn]

No, just an old chain that was hanging on the fence.

did u get the head kit yet. we need vids

 

[NitroBurn]

Nope, no tug of war just a coincidence. Got the head kit yesterday. Its not going on until I get my shocks sorted out. They keep popping e-clips. Gonna grind a shelf on the Phatdads I bought to replace the bent stock shafts, then use the washers on the phatdads. Shot some video today to test out my shock rebuild(the harder e-clips didn't hold, you can see the rear bouncing a bit much towards the middle).

 

[Shiny]

Looks grate.


God luck with the shocks.


Don’t for get the vid with the upgraded engine once done.

 

[satttheman]

very nice bro is the cylinder race ported??? this thing should move check ur dogbones

 

[NitroBurn]

Yeah the cylinder is race ported. I'm aware of the problem with the bones dropping pins, as well as the brittle drive cups. Plan on getting upgrades for both as soon as something becomes available. I ordered parts to finally bullet proof the shocks (Phatdad Bajampage kits). Should have the whole works up and going by next week sometime. Will be posting some video.

 

[Shiny]

All the best. Don’t forget to post some Pix and Vid once it is all done.
