FG Marder Gp290 Pt2.

FG Marder with a CY Gp290 (28.5cc) and an X-Can. This vid is to show the sound and performance with the Nutech 8k spring. (8,000 Rpm clutch spring)

The spring was only 4 bux, but it definitely made a difference and was well worth the 4 dollars I spent on it.

The carb in all the Marder videos is a Walbro 813. Great carb, much better than the crappy 668 carb. Much more linear, even with this crappy X-Can.

All HD vids were shot with a Kodak Zi6 720p @60fps. The vids of the buggy idling in the garage were recorded with my crappy Sony Cybershot digital camera, because the Kodak is horrible in low light conditions.

Check out my other vids for more FG Marder and FG Monster Truck vids.

@ray671984 Not bad for a Mutilator eh?

Total cost of changeover was about $400 including the motor.

@poopdogsays awsome job mate well like i said on 5thscale tx and rx 2.4 on order just got to wait now then i think some small mods done like k&n ect start with build up from there :)

[poopdogsays]

@ray671984 No K&N! They allow too much dirt to pass through and it takes out the motor. If you want to know what mods to do, start up a thread with what you have and your budget. You'll get all sorts of ideas. I can push the firehammer parts hard enough, get them now while you still can. The Mut plastics are weak and brittle. Mine broke almost every piece with just small low speed rollovers. The Mut parts are weak! Trust me, remember, mine looked like yours 2 years ago. Check out my old vids...

@poopdogsays its a k&n with gard fitted what i want i know what you mean but thats like any filter i have the standerd one on and that had a lot of muck ect on it but they do clean up well the whole thing is going to get black when i start going bashing with my brother in law any way lol

[poopdogsays]

@ray671984 All K&N's are junk Period. The filter allows too much dirt to pass through the fibers of the cloth that the filter is made from. Stock FG foam is the best filter on the market. Next best is the stock HPI baja 5b filter, both must be oiled with filter oil.

K&N is for a street driven full scale car.

@linzitazim IMO the GP290 is junk and the 30.5 is a truck motor.

For speed in a buggy it's hard to beat a ported 23 or 26cc. A jetPro will wake up the motor too, but a 30.5 or even the 28.5 just doesn't have enough rpm to feel peppy. The stock Zenoah G260 would stomp a mudhole in this Gp290 anyday of the week.

Thanks for the comment and best of luck to ya.
