pockets snakes Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Don't I feel sorry for her as she really wanted this I feel 60 for it is a bit of a rip off It cam with two shells mustang and e86 also a set of used drift tyre The fuel was thick as he'll and very yellow But it does run but screams due to the fly wheel I think Also has quite a bit of rust on few parts the rest looks good tho just a good tidy up So I'm gonna give it a good clean with ear buds either tonite or tomozz Has have all ok at these flywheel and clutch bell And need to know what part number is the ruined spur gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Seems like a run till it dies approach from the previous owner. Might be a collet that is worn / screw loose. Strip and rebuild - I'm sure if she was interested originally, she'll love it when it works perfectly! (or you will anyway!! Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abarth_1200 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I can't understand half the things your saying, go read your eBay listing and if it's not as sold see if your buyer would accept a return for refund, bear in mind you might be out the return postage.

Sent from my iPad using TapatalkAhh sorry I kinda get ahead of my self at times I'll see how bad the fly wheel is then ill speak to gf mate and see what she wants to do. If need be ill ask him for part refund if I can. But why would he send two different crystals? I've put up a thread with my vid of the wobble up let me know if you think the car is worth 60 pounds Edited October 20, 2014 by pockets snakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedods Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 your missing a screw from the carb aswell to adjust the lsn hsn no he isnt, thats a old carb screw that you dont need a screw driver for, my old kyosho has the same kind. they were popular on the old small blocks, when he turns it it with notch a lil on the metal pressing against it look closely, it is how it should be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would it scream when started tho ? I started the car earlier to see if it runs and it goes strict to high revs with out me push up ok the controls And it don't even move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedods Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 1 the collet on the crank shaft is gone by the looks of it 2 the idle screw. take the air filter off and check the gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pockets snakes Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Ahh yes I forgot the gap I found a new fly wheel with collet so will order that need to see what teeth spur gear I need so I can order that then I need to check the clutch bell I haven't got any lock tight either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedods Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) i have a collet for it and the spur you need is a 47T i should think. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HPI-NITRO-RS4-3-EVO-EVO2-76817-SPUR-GEAR-47-TOOTH-1M-NITRO-2-SPEED-NITRO-3-/311050825915?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item486c12f0bb the car runs 43/47 it looks like someone has taken the engine off and had a play without knowing a thing. edit: your car was suppose to be single geared acording to this manual: http://www.competitionx.com/pdf/vehicle-manuals/hpi-racing/hpi-nitro-rs4-3-rtr-manual.pdf my guess would be the guy took the engine off etc and put the running gear of a 2 speed on it and botched it up.
