Noj Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Sorted a pair of shocks from a spares box, for use on the rear of my LB. Stripped, cleaned and refilled the fifth shock, then discovered it was curry time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papasmurf Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Took the kids out with the cars to give them a proper run The hyper 7 had a few problems with the rear wheels locking every time you lifted off, so I've stripped everything and the only thing I could find was a bent centre shaft so changed it and all seems good. But now the rotostart won't turn the engine unless the glow plug is loose, it's spinning but the engine isn't. Any idea what it could be??

If so it may be the one way bearing slipping. When you open the glow a little it will release the pressure thus the one way having enough grip to crank the engine? Just an educated guess!

papasmurf Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I like that thought It does seem to be a bit hit & miss as to if it turns the engine or not, if I start it spinning then tighten up the plug it some times keeps turning over but not others Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukbajadave Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Got some paint on my daughters Blitz shell. Liquid mask is just the best stuff ever I have warned her that it'll end up like all my other cars though. My Tamiya Integrale was supposed to be a shelfer and look at it now...

cyronn Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Checked how many teeth on the spur had on the CRT, decided 18T pinion is suitable. Going to do its maiden run this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraithstorm67 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Just finished putting a nice new hpi f4.1 engine in my frenzy just got to find a bit of time to break it in now hopefully quicker and easier than to tune than the stock engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistonhead Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Took the Hyper to work and ragged it about the yard before starting, hit a rock at near full speed and flipped it on it's roof. Bent the rear shock tower and popped a front shock eyelet off which i popped back on and carried on running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandalbulldog Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Finally stretched the legs on the Hyper rebuild and really pleased with that HPI engine! Gave the Baja a good thrashing too. RC in the sun, unbeatable! I Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Searching for stuff I need in amongst all the boxes we packed up....and coming to the realisation that what I need is gone for the time being, as it isn't in the house Fitted a wp Rx box into the LB and made an extension lead for plugging the lights into Now to attack the battery tray ends slightly.... Removed the chrome from the rear bumper of the LB popping wheelies, much fun tho back end a touch bouncy...adds to the comedy so may leave as is tbh.

Tug Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Ragged the ERBE with its new lid and P3 rockers and push-rods, went great, but could do with some lights. Badger had a run too, always a smile with that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
