rxbren Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 new member of the st club got a nitro version got a couple of questions : how long does your tank of fuel last? and how well does your st stop im still in the process of getting it to run right (per other thread) but wondered if there is a brake test ie if the brakes are on full if you push it by hand/foot should the wheels still rotate or should they be locked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRAETORIAN Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 The brakes as standard are pretty poor on the ST. I would recommend a quad brake setup. Tank run times are varied depending on how you drive but you should see a good 5-6 minutes quite easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxbren Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 got car running ok the top end speed is pretty much spot on although the initial acceleration is a bit weak would have kept tweaking but lost a bolt from the steering knuckle that connects the steering arm to it can you get these bolts on their own or are they part of a kit?

GorillaZilla Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 RC screws are nothing special, just standard machine screws. M3 x 16mm countersunk is will be what you are wanting to replace that screw... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M3-X-16MM-SOCKET-ALLEN-HEAD-COUNTERSUNK-SCREW-ZINC-CLEAR-GRADE-10-9-PACK-OF-10-/110968942244?pt=UK_DIY_Material_Nails_Fixing_MJ&hash=item19d643aea4 10.9 is pretty much the strongest you can get in countersunk form, Zinc plated too for a bit o rust resistance.

MAZ Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I really want a new bashing shell - my ST one lets in so much crap! I've got a hotbodies D8T bulldog shell but I dont really want to use that until I get another one The only problem is - i'm using mbx6t sideguards and they beef out the sides of the chassis. I might just get another D8T one but see if they do a leccy version (without the cooling head and fuel hole cut out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
