Here's the k2 I traded my savage for. Just sold my JR590 at leisure to a guy who wanted one for $30, so I turned around and bought a JR650. Holy Crap that thing has power!!!Turns the wheels like nothing. I am running a JR270 for throttle/brake, and the engine hopefully runs (IDK yet, destroy_my_revo15 ran away with my glow igniter :bustingup I want it back!).

But yeah, looks great, and wasn't too hard to put together once I figured out the setup of things.

Oh yeah, chopped up and lowered the body as far down as possible, for the "kewl" look heh....Also trimmed the wing to ofna shaped sides, didn't like how the kyosho ends looked. :bustingup

LMK what you think.

Only took $70 to get it running. $70.34. I had $70.31, so some dude gave me a nickel!!! Woo hoo!
GO JR!!!
man you didnt hesitate to put that together.
Looks good now ya just need some tires!
Nope for the hesitation lol...

IDK why the tires are the way they are...Looks like someone ditched the center row of tread on purpose...Oh well.
Looks good, but the fuel line running along the top of the header makes me think " Vapor Lock"
Why would it do that? And how? If it happens, I'll find a different route....But for now I can't figure out how it came to me hehehe...
Wait, I think I can figure this out;

The fuel gets so hot from being ontop of the header, that it evaporates in to vapor, or a gas. When this gas gets into the engine, somehow it causes it to lock up? Correct me if I'm wrong, this is just what I got from it.
Hot fuel= bad fuel
Your header will get very hot!!!! The fuel can start to boil before it hits the engine, also if the line is resting against the header you can melt a hole in it causing your engine to lean out..

Just an FYI observation, by no means am I telling you to change it
I'll just see if I can route it differently then...No problems.
I would just wrap in front f your head, go between the filter neck and the coolyhead
stop with that vapor-lock crap George
It's ok. I rerouted the fuel line now anyways so its nowhere near the header, but goes by the carb now.
dent guy you shoudl listen to me, MR. I blow up $300 engines in my spare time
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh he called you B*$ch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



C'mon G.... Its novarossi fault not johns... Remember it the case! Jerk !! Rolleyes (see thats how you do sarcasm G)
Sorry Dent!
*Ish confuzzled....*
looks good. Working on that thing just never sparked interest in me from day one so im glad you like it. Most i did with it on like 10 months time is change about 2 dozen screws in it and replaced the front bumper.
lol, it's a very nice front bumper too.
:lol:
Very nice buggy dude. Now just practice when leisure opens and you might be the next rookie terror on the track....
Hey is a 16t cb too much for the buggy?
Check it out! My Sportwerks 26'll be going into the buggy! Non pull start backplate here I come! Plus it says no modifying the crankshaft, so that's super cool!!!

Sweet Backplate
16T cb is a bit too big IMO. I would do a 14t for all around gearing
Alright. I'll get one in a while.
Looks good. I think a nitro buggy will be my next R/C whenever I get a good job. LOL.
