J’s Dirty 30 north truck

[TeknoJ]

I ordered this on Monday and got it today (it’s Thursday). Ordered from rcmodelz in the UK. Freaky fast shipping, faster than jimmy johns. Anyway I unboxed it, and cleared off a work bench. I’m finishing a room in the basement as my RC room, so that’s another ongoing project.

Dangit, you made me want Jimmy John's!

Jimmy John’s is always good!

Love it.

I’m getting servos in currently. Then I will put the body panels on.
The engine comes tomorrow!

I saw some of these at a monster truck rally in Bakersfield CA. They look stupid fun.

I mounted up the tires, I will install a kill switch, the radiolink receiver I’m going to try out, and a high flow fuel kit. I spent hours of my life recently researching that this little kit helps resolve issues even on the smaller engines. It was affordable so I’m just going for it.

There’s seriously no room for tools on my work area, this thing is massive. (Isn’t that what she says?)

That's going to look killer J.

What engine did you order? it better be a zenoah

I did not go with the zenoah, I chose the fuelie/bws 38cc.

I’m going to clean this pipe with acetone/alcohol or something and then clear coat it with the engine or header spray paint. People say they always wipe down the exhaust to keep the surface rust in check. I may decide to use header wrap so a clear coat is what I’m thinking.

 

[Doom!]

Just make sure the clearcoat can handle high temperatures.

Wow. That's a nice looking engine.

The engine enamel quotes 500*, the header paint says 1500 or something. It’s VHT, I’ve had success with it on real automobiles.

For a Chinese clone yes it does, although idk what this engine clones

Probably a Chinese clone of a Chinese clone of a Chinese clone, of an engine made in Indonesia

The 3 1mm copper washer truck to bring the spark plug where it should sit in the combustion chamber.

Great looking engine.

I got the spiral diaphragm kit for the walbro 1191, it’s a better diaphragm, holds up to ethanol gas, just in case the pumps lie or don’t say.
I don’t know yet where I will be getting the gas to make a fuel mix. Back in the day we never ran our Yamaha YZ80 on any race grade gas and that thing still kills it.

Great looking engine.

It really is pretty. I’m not a guy that goes crazy over billet or has to have it, but this thing was better looking than most. I wanted a bigger engine but not taylorRC price. I didn’t want to be let down by the 29cc engine. I got a roller, but there is a version where the truck comes with the 38.

I hit a bump in the road, the engine did not come with a way to mount the carb. It’s like I need the isolator/adapter piece. The carb is not a straight bolt on match.
