Does that air filter have to be cleaned every hour?
I hate that I have to wash and re-oil the stock one.

No its has a fine mesh on the outside then inside is a foam oild filter :)

Much better then the stock one :D

Was out bashing this weekend and took the engine off to install the Spektrum DX3S RPM sensor, which flew off LOL! Need to use a black marker pen to put a dot on the flywheel so it can calculate the RPM.

My mate also fired up is HPI Baja! That thing is a beast!!!! ;)

Video here of the bash

Any reviews on it or any difference in performance versus stock?

i got it off ebay Motor Saver RT80 Large Air Filter Revo 2.5/3.3 & Slayer (#220871104351)
 
i have just ordered the Picco EZ engine and some big joe tyres

Ordered the Motor Saver air filter.
Does this filter still require frequent cleaning? if so, how often?
It seems whatever you buy, I tend to buy as well Tom. But not this time. I'm not buying no engine.

Hey Tom, below is a list of how to say "I Hate You" in different languages. Making sure you understand me when I say I HATE YOU, LOLOL J/K.

WOW the day that I get a new engine isnt near at all, but that looks like the clear champion around here.
BTW, those tires are F'in NICE. After I get my Rollcage and bumpers etc..... Tires are next on my list for sure.
It seems everything that you do to your truck I love to the T. I see other trucks, but not my style, but yours is excellent. We are gonna have identical trucks. HAHA
BTW, where did you order your RPM parts from? And your lights setup, where and do the brake lights go on when you press the brakes? Do you have a pic of where the battery goes?

thanks for the kind words....

where are you getting your rollcage from?

I got the LED light from ebay and all the RPM parts from WheelSpin models.

The battery goes under the Tx


you can see from the bashing/crash that the frame near the servo arm was bent upwards, in a few pics down i bent it back as much as i can, i need to re-trim the servo.

I have ordered the FOC only because the reserve servo was smashed to bits so i'll see how i get on with that.

I've got some new RPM parts arrving early next week which will enable me to fix my truck and get the wheels on

The kind words are my jealousy at your new parts, LOL.
I got it off of ebay but its made by RCRaven. Its called Revo Candy Rollcage.
I'm still looking to get bumpers, but undecided. I dont think the RPM blue matches the roll cage i got.
How close of a match is ur RPM bumpers to your blue chasis? The chasis looks like its the same color as the roll cage.
Why not get the chasis protector. I forgot the name of it and who sells it. Give me a few min, ill look it up now.

is the roll cage heavy?

The RPM looks cool on the Revo i think i like the blue...!

Heres some pics from the weekend and my mates Baja












 
That Baja is half the size of his body.
When are you putting your parts on?
I'm waiting on delivery of the Roll Cage but i think the weight was 14oz. I got my MotorSaver air filter in the mail over the weekend. This thing is HUGE. BTW, did u put on the metal bracket?

yea i fitted the engine going to fire her up tonight! See if she starts...

I did a bash on the weekend so can't fir the wheels untill my new wheel nut parts arrive as they broke on the back - hence going RPM.

Can you post a pic of how you fitted that metal thing as i could work it out.
