Hi mate the vorza shocks are 100mm X2 and 110mm centre to centre X2. There are also some spares to make up another couple but i cannot remeber the shaft lengths- hope that helps, cheers

Hi guys, as above really. I have a couple of shock sets for sale, i had the intention of using them, but have never got round to it. So im offering them up here. First of all are the Losi shocks, i believe they are from an 8T 1.0, but can't be sure. Im offering everything in the pictures and they have been filled. However i can't remeber the weight of the oil in them. Im looking for

Ill be there if not at work, would be great to meet some faces off the forum. Usually end up out on my own which is fun, but not the same ha ha just got to decide whether to bring nitro or brushless or both?

You should set the box up so that your car chassis sits flat on top. The chassis should not be sat on the pegs, the pegs should be supporting the chassis from the side. If you look at the starter box, the rubber starter wheel protrudes slightly, so with it all set correct there should be a couple of mm gap between the flywheel on your chassis and the rubber starter wheel. The box will turn the rubber wheel over as soon as you apply pressure, this is normal and it only has one speed. The idea is that you push and hold the car down untill it fires up and then release. If when you push the car fully down, the wheels do not meet, even with the chassis flat on the starterbox, then it will be the flywheel on the engine that is too small. I think 34-35mm is usually recommended for starter boxes, although i may be wrong. Let us know how you get on

First things first. What fuel have you got? Is it the correct type? Do you have compression on the engine? Is it stiff to turn at tdc? If you have compression, then check if your glow plug is fine, and that it still glows brightly. If those 2 are ok then you need to find and set the stock needle settings for the carb on the engine and also set the idle gap to about 1mm. With that done you can gently heat the engine with a hairdryer or heat gun,and when it is nice and warm - prime the carb. You can do this by disconnecting the line from the exhaust and gently blowing it, or by covering the exhaust and turning the engine over. When you see the fuel going in the carb stop. Insert your glowstarter, and try to start the engine. At this point assuming everything is correct, it should fire..... Give the above a try and let us know how you get along as there are plenty of people here who can help

Kyosho neo inferno st race spec- its what i have takes a real beating. Nothing has broken, however it can bend things lol so the front tower and some shafts have needed changing, but thats testament to the toughness of it - you can blast it at the bmx park all day and it wont actually snap or break. Just bend! The only fault is that the stock engine ke25 is hit and miss, some of them are garbage. The one i have chewed 2 pistons before i realised the conrod was bent. It now has an alpha s852 in there.The truck is easy to maintain, handles like a dream and as for parts ive never struggled either as the main chassis is compatible with the inferno 7.5, mp777 and parts from the st rr evo. Theres loads of stores on ebay, and you can even order parts dirt cheap from america. I have st rr evo suspension mounts front and rear and the anodised diff cover. If you really want you can buy st cvds as that is what i am running in the back, the are a couple of mm shorter than the kyosho ones but still fit.... It comes fitted with wheel spacers as standard too- but it does have some strange things- like the front and rear diff where they would normally have 4 gears - this just has two in each and you have to buy the other 2 seperately for each diff. I cant think of much else right now, but if you do fire away and ill try my best to answer. I cant comment on other truggies as this is my first but i can say i am really really happier with it and would have another

Hi mate, yes i do- i have pretty much everything but the shocks left. I think it fits a 540 can, it came with a 2nd hand carnage brushless and was fitted on a turnigy trackstar motor. If you want to collect it from me you can have it for free, or if you just want to pay postage ill post it out to you.... Im working lates this week, but should be able to sort something out. Thanks Dave

What exactly is the problem mate>? You say the roto start isnt turning the engine over, and then that it is in the same sentence... I assume you have taken the pullstart off and fitted a roto start, and that the rotostart is working and turning the engine, however it is not actually starting up? Or is it that the roto start is fine, and the engine is not turning at all? Can you turn the engine by hand? Is it damaged internally? Are the roto start batteries fully charged? Is the glow plug a fresh one or working? Have you got fresh fuel and fuel going to the carb? If you can give us a bit more info we may be able to help you out

Im probably not the best person to ask, lol, but I have used optifuel race 25% in the past but now mainly use model technics big bang 25%, to be honest i havnt noticed any difference between the 2- except the colour! That and the fact i can just walk down the road to get the mtbb off the shelf, whereas i have to order optifuel in lol! Im no expert in fuels, but for my general bashing needs the mtbb is fine and i get a good deal so cant complain, just my 2 cents worth.

Awesome mate- thanks a lot!

I went second hand for my first and nitro, so you could say things were against me from the offset.It was a total nightmare, but looking back i think even if it had been new those problems would have or could have existed, or cropped up for me at some point.I still have that buggy now and it ran- possibly better than ever! It ended up being converted to brushless for something to do over winter and also to make way for another second hand nitro truggy lol The truggy was nothing like the first, had been well looked after- started first time, runs sweet- it wasnt perfect but i got a fantastic deal, off this forum coincedentally. I guess what im trying to say is either way there will be a learning curve- and nitro needs learning lol. Even an rtr off the shelf can have you pulling your hair out, starting, running, tuning etc a quick look on the forums shows that.... Really its down to what your budget is and how much time you have,whether you like to tinker etc i will be honest and say i have only ever bought 2 cars new- the rest have come second hand, from this forum and i have never been dissapointed. If your starting new id do as suggested- save up a budget, ask around, look around on you tube, galleries and see what you like the look of, once you have an idea of how much you want to spend and what to spend it on -im sure youll get what you want

Hi guys sorry for late reply- i have an imax b6 charger and i also have a standard car battery charger. I had hoped i could charge it off one of those but had heard/ read that i should have a proper gel charger, however untill i got the starter box- i had no idea gel batteries existed ha ha ha So you reckon ill be ok on the car one or the b6 with a low current(mA)? charging it the same as i would lead acid? cheers again

Hey guys, as above, am looking for some help/guidance really. I acquired a starter box and it has a 12v gel battery in it. Can i just hook this up to my multi charger or will a need a specific type of charger? Cheers

Hi mate i have one of these, and i think its awesome. Theres not a lot more to say about it really except the standard ke25 engines can be a bit hit and miss and prone to failure! Even mine has chewed a couple of pistons, before realisin it was the conrod. You mention a carb restrictor- that comes as standard. There are loads of spares available on ebay, and parts from other kyoshos will fit as well- although not all,as i have found out on a couple of occassions lol! But the front and rear lightweight cvds for the st rr fit, as do the front and rear strr suspension mounts. The diffs that come with it, if i remember right have only 2 gears in f&r, but you can buy the extra ones so theres 4 in each. I cant think of anything else atm, but if you do fire away and ill try my best to answer cheers
