Did you take the differential out and make sure all the bearings were in good shape?

Open port, 46mm aftermarket cylinder. It's a replacement / cheap cylinder from ebay.

Nasty little thing isn't it!? I love mine. It's one mean running machine for sure.

@ragercrepair9301 oh yeah. I have a really good running stock version and buy really good running I mean really freaking good running it runs better stock than any I've ever seen on the internet and in a timed cut it still beat that's all by 7 seconds with the same chain it's like a 34% difference. Was only 3 seconds slower than my 500i. I stuck a long hard to watch video of that on my channel lol. It's gotten a little faster since break-in I'm going to put one of those a2 designs air filter setups on it like my stock one and then give them another test.

@Mightycaptain when you get the filter on, put that against the 500i and see how she compares! I'll bet it's super close!

Thanks man. She's a little ripper and turned out great! I'm working on another build and I'm going a little wild and pushing a lot of limits on this one. I'm hope it doesn't hang a ring, but boy it's going to be living on the edge.

@ragercrepair9301 👊 I'll be @ 2 check it out!

Thanks man. She's doing better lol.

My rakers are about 30 thousands. I'm thinking I might change the angle of the tooth and see what happens there. Time will tell. Thanks. They cut damn well.

I really wanted to say hard pine to be a smartass, but I'm pretty sure this is Douglas furr. It's been dead leaning for about a year so it's still solid, but the bark was coming off. I tried to strip is clean so I wasn't eating up chains with dirt.

@ragercrepair9301 the bark had me curious about it. The wood definitely looks like a softwood species, but the bark looks more like a hardwood type species to me at least. Great running 55!

@@REpowersaws24 thanks man. When I went to get the logs for testing I knew it was a pine, but not sure about the type. I have a bunch of it to test with and it makes great bonfire cookies lol. It pulls the saws down really hard. Makes then lug more than hardwood, so I like using it for testing speed and power. Also works great for testing different chain grinds. I have a special chain I'm working on. Hopefully it works well. I appreciate the nice comments on the saw. Been perfecting that chassis for a while and I think it's finally paying off!

Thanks man. That one has a shit ton of work done to it do get it to that level.

I'm new to porting but finger ports are next on my list lol

Finger ports help a lot in the right application. If you don't have enough carb to feed them, they don't help a lot. With the bigger carb and enough intake, they wake a saw up a whole lot!

@ragercrepair9301 nice...I will remember this...I have a 51 case that someday I'll get a splitter and rebuild lol

@brandonf1226 You don't need a splitter. Just tap the crank with a brass hammer and shell slide right apart. I hope you get to it!

Thanks. The first two cuts were 23rs on both saws. The last cut is special square/hexa/round hybrid I'm working on. The rakers are way to tall and it wasn't self feeding so I'll be filing those down some and getting back with an update video hopefully this weekend.

Haha thanks man! That Brisco ported 4910 is a damn beast, but that chain has about 4 tanks of fuel on it and it really needs sharpened. The 550xp is a damn good runner and handles the 3/8 chain quite nicely. The 55 has been a 2 year project to get where it is just trying new things. I was trying to get it up in the race category because they are extremely hard to make fast. I'm going back in it after a few more videos and some testing to try something a very good porter told me to try. I'm hoping to raise my rpm range another 1500 up top to get that speed I'm looking for. Hopefully I won't lose any low end torque. Thanks man I appreciate the nice comment!

@@ragercrepair9301 ya Brisco is a hell of a builder!

@@BuckYaSaws yes he is. I have 2 saws he's done up and they are kick ass!

Yes it was. The second one is what's now my race saw.!

The sway bars will help but the shake is most likely tires being out of balance. A good set of dboot backflips 4s version. Huge gain in control and speed.

Thankyou for the kind comment. I hope you get everything in order!

@@ragercrepair9301all buttoned up and ready for the 9 year old pilot the find the next weakest link in the morning 😅

i saw that same rubbish video lol. Great job on this one, much better!

@@zombi303 thankyou

I think it was 5mm bore on each end. I'll check when I get home and verify.

@@ragercrepair9301 thanks. I just bought 2 of these used. They are in good condition. But seller said he keeps breaking cvds on the one with a lot of upgrades. Do you think if I follow your upgrades and put those better cvds(RCAWS have noce ones for $17 for 4), would it be ok? Also he mentioned that the one upgraded hard to control. Any ideas?

@@ragercrepair9301 Were you able to verify?

@@TurKFXI I'm sorry sir I cannot seem to find the other one I had. I have since given the car to my nephew so I may be able to find out what I used when I see him tomorrow. I will continue looking for the new one I had in the mean time.

@TurKFXI the ones I used were 5mm on each end. I found the extra one I had. I used a shredder center diff shaft and a diff cut for a backdraft 8e at the motor side. They all fit well. You have to cut the dogbone off the front half of the shaft and grind a flat for the grub screw. Sorry I was digging trying to find all the things I used. I believe I used a shredder rear/center driveshaft. I hope this helps!

It's discontinued now. You'll have to get it from Amazon or ebay.

@@ragercrepair9301 thanks

Very good possibility. I would make sure it has grease. The front axle shafts also can click if the ball end at the wheel is worn out.

same issue with me but i saw plenty of grease so not surewhat else it could be :/

I would say double the size of the pvc and use wood for an xmaxx. They are very heavy and will destroy this one. It's more for 10th scale and some 8th scale. The bigger trucks should really have wood.

If I could keep a set of tires on mine, I'm sure I have the capability of hitting 70+. But I've blown up several tires trying to achieve that. Lol. I'll get there eventually.

@@ragercrepair9301 have u tried steel belted tires ...how I was able to stick mine ...but yes 60and up your ballooning like cray

@@billycurdie8473 I have tried a set of proline belted street tires and they work well, but I can't get a big enough pinion in it to run them. The ballooning is like an extra gear, sorta like a dragster. I'm building a new motor mount assembly to offset the issue now that I have a lathe. That's helping a lot. The entire center diff assembly will be custom made. I'll be showing all that work really soon. Then I'll lower the ride height and get it down nice and low. That should help a ton too.

@@ragercrepair9301 that sucks ...ya I have a 69 Camaro losi dragster..lot of fun ...

@@billycurdie8473 I'm hoping to build a dragster someday. We'll see how it goes. But I want the real deal. Not an RC lol

Thanks for supporting us! I appreciate the opportunity to share my knowledge and I hope you got something out of it. Keep the hobby alive!

Thanks that's usually my daughter!

Got it from tbone racing which is no longer in business. I don't think there other options now.

The hub extention kit isn't available anymore from what I can find. I have an extra set I would consider selling.

I have had to take the shims out front behind the bearings on the diff and put it on the opposite side to adjust the mesh on some of the aluminum cases. If that doesn't work use some sand paper and sand where the outer bearing race sits against the case. That should help.

@@ragercrepair9301 thanks, there's no shims anywhere so it looks like I'm removing material. Good video BTW 👍✌

@@TheKylecrx thanks bro. I try to be informative.

Thankyou. I really just want to teach as much as I can. I appreciate support and viewers that see that.

So I haven't actually been inside the losi baja Rey but I can't imagine it's much different than any other model. Does the baja have a center diff?

Good to know thankyou

The size in the video is the correct size, but with some small shims anything close will work as long as the ID and OD are the same.

The spur gear is protected with a shield and support brackets front and rear. It should be very strong on hard landings.

I agree. Sometimes you have to come up with some new ideas to make older things keep on working! Plus improving performance is always a must!

You're welcome! The bumpers front and rear were a brand called Tbone Racing. Unfortunately they are no longer in business. I'm not sure if anything comparable is available now. I will see what I can find.

Is this a 4x4 or 2wd model? If it's 2wd you should be able to hold either wheel and spin the other and the motor should turn. If it's 4x4, moving any wheel while keeping the remaining 3 still should turn the motor over. If only one wheel doesn't cause the motor to spin, its either in the driveline "axle pin, axle shaft ect" or a broken pin inside the diff/differential failure.
