just a quick update for all of you.. I got the engine back from cen. he put a pullstart on it, send me back my rotostart, replaced my manifold gasket, and spring. Got it in the truck... 2 pulls she started right up!! Now to mess with those pesky shift points.. EHh and im noticing when my tank is about half full.. the truck will stall out if i get on it.. Also it doesnt like to steer very well. I dont know why, but it seems to have trouble turning. i put fresh batteries in it and everything, When driving it seems to go wide when turning.. anyone have any ideas?
The tank half full stalling thing can be corrected by using the Ofna primer pump/check valve, that Burningpoo suggested you get, did you purchase/install this? If you havent be aware that you will have to retune the truck significantly.
The stock steering servo on the GST is not really up to the task of pushing the huge GST wheels, there are two methods that are being used to fix this: 1. Get a stonger servo, most people use the Hitec 5955TG servo, this will turn the wheels nicely for you. 2. Dogmans dual servo steering mod (see sticky at the top of the forum), however this requires a bit of work to complete, its not a bolt on affair. Also something you should consider getting is a good quality battery pack, they tend to provide more power then regular batteries, you should notice a difference.
Good luck
