I would personally replace the fuel line. Or at least check it, especially around the nipples on the tank and carburetor. I've seen rtr kits where it cracks in those areas. It happened to my brother when he got his first buggy. It sucked in some sand and wrecked his engine on his first tank on the track after i broke it in for him. It is definitely worth the couple bucks for new lines and peace of mind.

Hi! Do you know if there are any lower engine mounts, lets say if I want to use a starter box? Or should I replace the flywheel for a bigger one? Mine is a MP9 Tki4 with a SP25 engine. Feels like the engine is sitting to high up for the starter wheel to grab enough. Bought it used, and the former user cut out i the bottom plate. I have a spare chassis, and I dont really dont want to cut away on the chassi plate, seems unnecesary.
@AMain_Hobbies 5 ай бұрын
A box stock MP9 should reach the starter wheel. If the engine mounts or chassis have been modified, I recommend you remedy them to their original state. You shouldn't need a bigger flywheel or starter wheel. You mention, "the former user cut out the bottom plate," but i'm not sure what you mean by this; cut out the plate on the starter box, or the car chassis? -Brett
@barsken4870 5 ай бұрын
Hey! Thanks for the swift answer! Thats what got me wondering why he did that. The former owner had cut out a bigger hole on the chassis, so it's both longer and wider underneath the flywheel. The only thing that isn't stock to my knowledge is the engine. (KE25 instead of KE21) But I'll probably disassemble the car anyways and rebuild. According to the manual the stock flywheel is 34 mm. Haven't checked that yet on mine. From what I've seen there also is a 32 mm flywheel for the mp9.
@AMain_Hobbies 5 ай бұрын
@@barsken4870Sometimes rocks and debris can get caught between the clutchbell and the flywheel hole in the chassis, maybe he opened the hole to prevent this. Another possible issue he was having: during heavy chassis flexing, in some 8th buggies its possible to have the end of the clutchbell hit the chassis. The chassis will expose a rub mark in this case and dremeling a small recess in that spot will remedy. Possibly he was experiencing some of these issues. There shouldn't be a need to dremel or cut the chassis behind this. With the flywheel, changing it won't help and make the reach even further. You should try to align the car on the starter box, it should fit. It's easiest to remove the engine and square it up on the top plate of the starter box. Good luck barsken -Brett

First thing that’s got to go is those crappy servos. They have plastic gears,just absolute junk...

Would you change servos first, or add a starter box? -Brett

Here buy an expensive toy and throw us more of your cash to make it a ‘racer’. There was a certain satisfaction a dozen years ago of taking a Losi 2.0 RTR and making the A final against all those race machines. That car was a giant killer not but for the price but period. Marketing departments in this hobby are clamoring for your dollar by feeding you the BS that you have to have this and that to be on a race track. Mistake free driving and good bench work will take many a scalp in nitro. I can still hear one drivers reaction with his race machine and his high zoot motor stuck in the c qual asking me what tires I was using as if that was his problem. My answer the ones that came with the car (step pins). One reason this hobby is not what it used to be. U10
