Guys, I had a “crunchy gear” issue that I thought I resolved with servicing both front and rear diffs, with new fluid, upgrading to FID diff housings, and finding and replacing an exploded bearing on the front input gear. I did have trouble where I eventually had to remove the shims from the case housings so all gears would rotate smoothly. (Diff would not rotate smoothly with the housing shims front/rear). After all that and new bearings and shims on both input gears, I still have loud... Read more ..read more

Does anyone know any RC race tracks on or off road around Los Angeles CA? I contacted OBR and they said the closest one is in Bakersfield … 102 miles from Los Angeles.. This is sad. I know there is Hot Rod Hobbies and Raceway in Santa Clarita about 30 minutes away but they don’t allow 1/5 scale and they only have a small dirt track ..read more

Well after many years I finally own a Baja lol well kinda. I know the aftermarket world is nuts for these so go easy with recommendations. For now I’m parting this out. I have an idea for a hybrid once I mock up my vision I’ll put this back together and throw in a small block and tool around. Nothing serious ..read more

Hello everyone, I have finally narrowed down my choices between the MCD XS5 gas and the MCD XR5 gas. Both of these cars look great and I have been completely indecisive on which one to get over the past few days. Any thoughts? I currently have a Losi 5T 2.0, HPI Baja 5B, and a Traxxas XRT so was thinking to get either the XR5 or the XS5 for a different type of vehicle ..read more

Hello everyone, After destroying the engine on my Losi 5t 1.0 (I bought it used), I switched to a stock G320. The built in engine was a King engine of unknown displacement, but probably <.300. The built-in Reso worked well with the old engine, but with the new G320 I lack the effectiveness in the upper speed range (no kick). Which Reso is a good option here? Thanks! Wolfgang ..read more
