Slimneill MT

[Slimneill]

I guess I'll finally start a build thread.

Things I've done so far:

First got the Rampage MT and couldn't get it running properly so I installed:
1- Replaced stock busted carb (never worked right from new) with Walbro WT-990
2- Installed Killer RC Super Bee Fail safe. Must have!
3- Installed Voltwatch2 Battery Monitor to see battery status as I drive.

I then broke the rear CV off of a jump. So I beefed up the entire Drive train by removing the CV Axels and going hardened steel dog bones using Baja compatible parts. I also wanted 5ive T tires.
4- Vertigo V2 Rear Axle Extender set for Baja 5B/5T (2 sets)
5- KingMotors Losi 5ive Tire set 2x (Amazon)
6- FLM hardened drive cups for Baja (2 sets)

While replacing the broken drive CV axels I found out that 80% of the bearings has seized. So I got new bearings.
7- Fast Eddy Sealed bearing Kit
8- Fast Eddy Diff grease
9- HPI Baja Axel boots 22mmx47mm fit right over the FLM hardened drive cups.
10- Redid the Diff fluids in all diffs while bearing swap out. Went with Factory Team Silicone 7000&5000 Fluid
11- PJ1 Foam Filter Oil
12- 8K Clutch
13- Outerwears Air filter Pre cover
14- Baja Foam filter kit. Although the kit I got didn't have the plate that mounts to the carb so I will have to 3d print that part.

Then I lost a bolt for the stock exhaust so I bought various bolts from McMaster Carr. I went though the manual and identified all fasteners. Ill post that spread sheet one of these days.

Next project will be to purchase a Losi 5ive roll cage. I have purchased a 1/2" piece of aluminum that I want to machine into a proper chassis for the extended wheel base. But I want the roll cage so that I can mount the motor in the correct part of the frame then I will make custom axles to fit the different lengths.

Sounds like you've been busy with this build, got any pictures @Slimneill?

lol Most of it is due to necessity.

Have you done anymore upgrades? What was the easiest bolt on upgrades that you find to be the "best"?
