Great video. Have you done a sequence setup video, how you set the car up for a race meet.

Awesome content Mark, exactly what the 1/5 Scale needs!! I'm about to upgrade my Mecatech brakes with DOT4 seals and will need to look for a red Rubber grease as well. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the support Mate! you wont look back, the DOT4 setup is fantastic! are you running the brakes on the FW01 or something else?

@@MarkThomasson76 waiting to see the impact on track. Honestly, I should have done brake maintenance a long time ago, as they were pretty stuck from all the dirt etc. I drive FG Evo13, which I'm refurbishing almost completely for this season. It is a pretty easy car to drive, so sticking with it at least for now.

Hi mark, in the video at minute 7:01, when you remove the carbon protective cap from the exhaust, there is a cable that works and where it is connected, on one side it can be on the engine and on the other it has a red chip jb, q is in the box of the rx, where it is connected, excellent video,, thanks

Hi Luis! it's a temperature sensor, I use the Futaba 7PX Futaba have several telemetry options as standard. The temp I like, because you can set a high temp alarm!! Keep an eye out for my next video, I'll be doing a complete review and demonstrating the importance of warming up your engine fully!! its going to be great!!!!!!!!! are you on any of the Facebook groups that I've posted videos to? happy to post some pictures if you like...

I am running 7px with telemetry. Do you have a video on the temp sensor mod you spoke of ? Great vid by the way

Your description didn't have the brand name for the brake system. Who makes the master cylinder?
