Taylor RC 40GT Build Issues W/Tips N Tricks!

[@soblessed6438]

Now I see what you wanted the copper tubing for🤣. You show and explain things great son!👍

[@eastsiderc]

Thanks mom thats what I try to do for these fellas in the hobby! I want this to be fun for all!

[@chrisbadman2079]

Man I’m always gonna listen to you. You got a lot of knowledge about this more than me. That’s why I watch your KZbin videos I soak it up like a sponge. I’m gonna place that order with Detroit performance so you’re saying later down the road I can put a 71 Top end on it. Hell yeah brother that’s a no-brainer.

[@eastsiderc]

Hey brother thats what Im here for to share my knowledge and help others. And yes bro you can later change just the top end. Mike will sell it to you as a kit with everything you need to make it a 71 cc. It really is a no brainer and you will love the 50 torque its impressive and LOUD!

Jeff this is Kevin I appreciate your content and I would love to get you to build me my first gas rc maybe this fall or winter thanks keep up the good content and keep being you and what you stand for God bless

[@eastsiderc]

Hey brother thank you very much! God bless you and your family too! And I can certainly build you a car bro! Its quite costly that way but there are affordable options! Thank you for the support ! 🙏🤝

Tons of tips and solutions my brother👍Excellent! Man I heard something before about the Baja transmission and Big Bore. Now I see what it is. I would not be happy to have to tear all that apart and get a new $$$ Taylor case 😣 Bummer!

[@eastsiderc]

Ehh I love wrenching and spending money brother so I dont care! Appreciate you checking it out Allen!

[@mikeyvegas1185]

Hey dude. Informative as always- much respect. I have the same brake set up and the brakes drag - it defo needs springs - like every other disc/pad system. What are the springs dude? Can you share source pls 🙏

[@eastsiderc]

Hey brother absolutely I will share and also make sure you use both plastic retaining rings on the brake hex that really helps discs stay aligned. And I got the springs from Detroit Performance RC sorry I forgot to mention it in the vid. They are under the baja section on the website and they are 5 bucks plus shipping. Thanks for watching brother! I hope that fixes your issue .

[@tonymanna9160]

Good stuff as always brother. I think my Baja needs an Eastside RC tune up lol.

[@eastsiderc]

Haha! Thank you bro!! I wish you lived closer bro so we could hang out and brap and n wrench 🔧 on our rides

[@tonymanna9160]

@@eastsiderc me too brother! You sure build these RCs tight and right.

[@fpvandgasrc4321]

I had same problem with plastic arms. U can use the irp v2 front hubs with the pins so u don't have to grind the arms.. but I love these type of videos from you! Awesome stuff

[@eastsiderc]

Hey thank you bro thats great to know! I appreciate you watching and chiming in bro! This is the type of content I enjoy to deliver because we can watch anyone tear the cars up bashing but there is not a lot of tech type stuff for fifth scale gas so this is what I do brother! I hope it helps others because I love to help people and share the fun I have and the knowledge Ive learned over the years

[@jukkaovaskainen]

Too bad the engine didn't fit, but fortunately you found a solution for it 👍 Good tips too 🙂

[@eastsiderc]

Brother Jukka I should of known I ran into this same issue with my ALX car Its been so long since I built it I forgot that the Chineseum transmission cant be used with the Taylor Engines hahaha oops! Its all good though I will have a video later this week of the fix

[@clayton8465]

Hpi brake shims. Buy some. Problem with the front arms and where you ground it off as the suspension travels it’ll bind as it compresses. Check it out.

[@eastsiderc]

Yep thats why I had to grind it. Its the brp hubs fault. Now no binding at all with it ground down a little. And what exactly would you shim because there is no way to space the steering knuckle further away from the lower a-arm ? It has to stay where it stays. You never have anything nice to say.🤣

[@clayton8465]

@@eastsiderc it goes on one side of the brake pad. Takes up the extra space.

[@marcus1971jd]

I have a question... I was running my thirty eight c c thirty degree north, got it dialed in runs awesome. I was driving on the street and got too close to my car and hit the tire and the only thing It broke was the shock end that goes into the upper control arm. Will the losi shock shaft fit in that 30ﾟ North shock? I had to buy a whole new front set of shocks to fix it. They are not threaded..

[@eastsiderc]

Right , you’re correct they are not threaded and I do believe a losi shaft may fit those shocks but Im not 100% sure buddy.

[@marcus1971jd]

Thanks I appreciate it buddy. It'd be nice to know instead of spending sixty five dollars on two new shocks

[@Joes5thscalercandguns]

I was wondering how to fix the issue with the brake disk slipping off where did you get that washer that's my main problem with the outlaw

[@eastsiderc]

I just had that in my parts kits I put together. Ill have to look n see where to get it. I know it fits on the hex really nice and the springs in the brakes works well to. I got some more for the military car

[@kaobigdog1]

Unrelated topic but what would cause me to keep breaking dog bone pins on a rovan 46cc baha 5ts sand rail. Bought HD drive shafts and snapped a pin within 2 minutes of running it. This truck has been worked on more than I have ran it.

[@eastsiderc]

Well brother unfortunately the MaxTS and Max5T cannot take to much torque stress on them tiny 4mm pins. Also if the suspension is incorrectly set up then the angle of the driveshafts under load becomes compromised thus breaking pins. You need to run 1000 weight diff oil in all four of the big bore Rovan shocks. This will greatly help with the suspension. Also should help your drive train as well.

[@thatoneguy2756]

Sometimes a build fights every step of the way. Just gotta keep after it. We gotta drill and tap my buddy's exhaust bolts cuz they stripped last weekend. Do you use red loctite on your exhaust bolts?

[@eastsiderc]

This is the truth bro sometimes they are a fight! These big bores are nothing like the little guys. Okay bro so I never use red loctite on anything rc. The best thing to use for your exhaust bolts is Permatex Ultra Black Silicone . It holds like glue withstands mega heat and its oil n gas resistant! Its all I used and Ive never ever had my exhaust bolts come loose. Its great stuff. I also use it as a sealer seal pipe to the head if I dont have the correct size gasket! Theres a 100 gaskets plus in that tube of that stuff it’s awesome!

[@thatoneguy2756]

@@eastsiderc ok sounds good, I have some ultra black permatex. You use it directly to engine/header flange as a substitute for a gasket? That's awesome!

[@eastsiderc]

Yes and glob it on the threads or your exhaust bolts to seal them in the head . They will come right out with ease and not bring the threads with the screw! I love the stuff! I apply it and let it set up overnight and no leaks and no loose bolts!

[@javierarzon4853]

Hey brother, what 2 stroke oil and mixed you recommend for a stock Baja buggy ??

[@eastsiderc]

I run VP c12 fuel and Amsoil Saber mixed at 50:1 which is an overkill for that oil because its good for 100:1. Why do I love it and recommend it? Because I have tested with it myself and I see the results, and secondly Amsoil is the very first company in the entire world to invent synthetic oil! And thirdly Amsoil has tested saber at 300:1 at ridiculous rpms For hours n hours against other oils and no harm to the piston or ring its crazy how slick this stuff is. Some people swear by dominator but that has friction additives in for dirtbike clutch plates. And its only good for 60:1 and its quite gooey for brapping around it was designed for two stroke race bikes held full tilt around the track , that keeps things cleared out. Ive tried both oils, Ive seen the differences in the insides of my exhaust pipes during cleaning intervals and I can honestly say Amsoil Saber is all I will ever use!

Where did you get those little springs for the brakes?

From Detroit performance brother under the baja parts section . 4.99 they work exceptionally

Hey brother, I’m looking to put a big board in my losi 5T should I go with a 50 GT or the 55 supreme

[@eastsiderc]

Hey Brother Chris personally I would go with the 50 it makes more torque and you can later swap the top end for 71 top end! Its a no brainer really! But you get what YOU want but that is my take on it brother!

Good Blessed AFTERNOON to you my Brother. Hey bruh, where you get the Goodyear tires from?

Tank needs a clunk. There is a reason it’s always done that way. When it’s upside down what you’ve mcgubbered up it will not get fuel.

Doesn’t need a clunk . We run solid tubes to the back of the tank with an inline filter and never have one issue . Been done on 100cc go kart’s flawlessly as well
