Congratulations!! You will enjoy it!!! Have fun 👍🏽

Love to see it. My 5t 2.0 is the very first and only rc car i got.

LoL.

Thank you!

Thank you very much! I appreciate that. Cheers

Hey John! Thank you for stopping by. I’m loving your stuff too. You have some crazy engine! Cheers

@@SmithRCStudios Heck yea brother!! Thanks for checking me out !! Just gotta love the Gas engines in the RC hobby 🔥👊🏼👍🏼

Thank you very much. I appreciate the support 😃 cheers

Wow it seems everyone is doing builds this time around lol. Would like to see yours too. Thanks for watching. Cheers

@@SmithRCStudios definitely let me know where i can send pics.

Hey thanks for watching? Are you talking about the video?

@@SmithRCStudios yeah I watch your video so gives me a idea how to change mine to a race car only problem is I can seem to find the same motor I have looked but nothing on th website plus I live in Australia so it's abit hard getting parts from America here

Just released another yesterday Part 2. Cheers

@@SmithRCStudios looking forward to tonight’s watch list

Great!! Sounds fun! Cheers

Hey buddy thank you. 😃 cheers

Okay will emphasise in Part 2 of the series. Stay tuned. Cheers

There are so many videos of breaking in! Including my videos. You can either watch my break in videos or OBR or John Botajell. Cheers

Yeah that’s a good point. People do though. I’ve seen very nice bodies for a lot of platforms and also paint jobs.

Hey i appreciate the feedback. The heavy fluids will be used for the bigger engine on the other vehicle lol.. but i think I’ll run something similar to your set up. Thanks 😊 cheers

👍🔥🤝🔥🤜🤛

Yeah so the big exhaust pipes that have the expansion chambers has been around from the dirt bike days. People have been studying these for a long time-and it is pretty much a general consensus that for 2-Stroke engines these expanded pipes help with compression and power output. That is not the same case with 4-stroke. Hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers

It’s the Rigid stand. You can get them at Home Depot. Cheers

For boats we are running Redline Oil at 16:1.. so in other words 8oz of that oil to 1 gallon of gas.

Good to hear! You will love the 5T i promise. Okay so these are not like the little nitro engines that are very finicky and stubborn-these are actual 2-stroke pump gasoline cars. So there’s no issues starting as long as you do it the CORRECT way. I have a video on specifically this. Scroll to my latest videos and you can find it there. And also, these trucks are super reliable and robust. I recommend regular pump gas 91-93 octane mixed with oil at 26:1 ratio. You can always adjust from there. There is no ONE CORRECT way honestly. Let me know if you have any more questions

Thanks I appreciate it @@SmithRCStudios

35 front 30 rear

Thanks you

Sure. ​This Bartolone 34cc Reed Case is anodized Blue. Made with billet clutch housing and piston has been lightened, windowed and CNC machined to match transfer ports. Cylinder is machined on a 5-axis CNC to ensure match with Reed case. The exhaust port also gets the full CNC treatment. The transfer ports are personally hand finished by Chris for optimal flow and performance. Cheers

I may have 1 or 2 left but should get a new batch from Bartolone soon.

ReedCase all day long ! Just make more power . Especially a Bartolone ReedCase because out of all the ReedCase’s with Zenoah heads BR ReedCase’s produce the most volume! More volume in case with a good modified head for your application will make the most power . Facts ! The only problem is that ReedCases especially works of art like this one in this video cost the most money. But don’t get me wrong Chris Bartolone can also modify one hell of a Piston port and it will be low budget that makes great power aswell just look at my friend Luis Irizarry drag Baja . Luis couldn’t afford Bartolones ReedCase but he made him one hell of a 34 piston because it was beating up on many engines at the track including some ReedCases from other makers Facts I show this on past race videos ! Got proof if you need to see

@@BOTAJELL I’m looking at a budget of about 450, not to high, I’m thinking about either an OBR 34 reedcase long block, or a BR 32 piston port, I saw that video on your channel and that engine ripped

Definitely a Reedcase for sure. But as John mentioned below they can be a bit pricey. So i recommend a piston port engine if you don’t want to spend too much money.

Nothing wrong with obr, a few of my mates run em and have nothing but good to say about the 34 reed obr. So much so that bought myself one 👍

@@zeeshanhb9520 hmm, do you think it revs higher than stock, I saw online in a forum that reed is for bottom end and piston port for top end, I am looking for top end

Hey John.. hope you are feeling better. It’s nice to see you up and running again. Cheers

Thank you 😊

Okay stay tuned for Part 2 of this series and i will mention and leave links to parts

You are talking about the stock 32 that came in the Losi right?

@@SmithRCStudios yes sir

Losi is tougher and more fun imo but when it comes to racing mcd is plain beter with amount of adjustment.

I am doing an MCD build also right after. Very nice vehicle. 👍🏽 But that doesn’t mean i have to get rid of my Losi or not build the Losi for race lol.

@@SmithRCStudios Don't get me wrong mate I also have losi 5ive and I love it I just consider it to be more of a bash than race platform and sorry if my comment sounded rude it was 3am where I live and my humor gets "sharper" when im tired.

@@Ev0ltion hey no worries mate... i can be pretty sarcastic in the later hours myself lol. Cheers though

@@SmithRCStudios Btw i saw you are into bartolone stuff. I assume you are using their pipes, if so you should try olimat me and my friend have exacly the same setup in our 5ive's 2.0 only diffrences are color and the pipe. I run bart he runs olimat and let me tell you bart has slightly beter super low range(basicly the moment you start moving) but olimat overall has a beter performance in low and mid range while top end is pretty much the same. It worth mentioning we tested both pipes with stock 32cc's (both tuned by me so there was no edge cuz of tuner's skill).

Yes it sure is. Cheers
