New To Me 5ive-T
neighbor had this sitting in his garage for about two years, said he didn't use it anymore and I could have it if i want - he said it goes up to 40 mph and could pull a kid on a skateboard (hyperbole?). This is totally new to me, but I'm not saying no to a beast like this!
Before I run it, I'm testing/cleaning everything - so far, I've orderd a new 7000 mah 7.4 V battery, a charger, and a new gas tank and lines b/c the old stuff turned to varnish. Steering servos, shocks, frame, wheels, hubs seem good, and motor turns over manually w/ pull start. I'm not sure about whether there's old fuel in the motor, so that's on my list of things to check/tackle.
I'm open to any and all suggestions from the experts on what to do before I put in fuel and let 'er rip! Also, I'm in Delco (outside Philly) - where do people run/race these things? TIA!
