Euan Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 A failsafe prevents your car from running of (into hard things normally).....when the receiver batteries get too low......also when there is a loss of signal from the transmitter. If you don't charge your hump pack the above happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone pro Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 what u mean the above have a look at me other chats go on the fuel one is it ok to use 20% insted of 16% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy122 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 what u mean the above have a look at me other chats go on the fuel one is it ok to use 20% insted of 16% Thats spamming - Stick to the topic mate! I found that when u first start the engine up - its good to keep low speeds till engines warms up a tad before hitting WOT - The excess fuel due to it been cold may results in constant flooding.... erm... Running Lean is u main worry... also avoid nocking/crashing if you can Stick to where its meant to go (ex not driving it huge ramps) Avoid flipping.... can cause it to stall... and try to keep it close when using it .... that way u can hear problems if there is any and you can stop it quickly Hope this helpz Ziggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1ackcr0w Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Okies... Good habits to get into... Oil your air filter, v important for touring cars. Sounds daft but the filter will trap significantly more dirt if impregnated with filter oil. And replace the filter altogether every few meetings. Change diff and shock oil at least once a year, more ofen if you race and test often. The oil will degrade over time and with use, losing it's viscosity, which is the property that you're looking for. The seal will need cleaning and checking anyhow. Boring as it is, cleaning your car thoroughly and often is the only real way to know when parts of your car are damaged or wearing out. As well as running better and more consistantly, a well kept car will fetch more when you sell it. Lube the thrust bearing on the clutch often (after every run is not too often). This is often overlooked but when they fail, they can make a mess of your clutch, and can be a nightmare to repair. Only a really tiny amout of lube is needed, and a well maintained thrust bearing will help give a consistant and predictable clutch takeup.

Dionysus Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Avoid anything.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bit like your mum told you. really if you use your head and get some practice at driving it around before you go mad with the throttle, you'll be ok, you learn from your mistakes thats a fact of life i'm afraid. Ive got a few shells to prove it, and an even bigger bill but it happens, if your young you'll tell me to do one now but if you've already been there then you'll know i'm right.
