Tug Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) Yes sir, sorry sir, point drilled home sir Probably best to sort the PMT before cocking another build up really.... Wasn't having a go, just pointing out that it involves quite a bit of patience! Either that or I'm just fumbling the ball!

Noj Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Damn you vrs, I shall have to build mine up now!! Good price and free delivery. Any thoughts as to combo?? Myself, stuck between a 1700kv or 2200kv with a 150a xerun, aiming for 5s bashing with 6s madness... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Good excuse too Noj 6s capable system, got a Mamba Monster 2 2200kv combo to hand but it's currectly occupied in another kit. So will likely purchase a new combo, Some form of HW unit still undecided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 We'll be accused of being bed fellows, lol! Will be experimenting with d8 shock bodies and stock shafts...the stock bodies look cheap, the kyosho ally shocks are silly money (and red??!!??) and I got a good deal on a pair of d8 bodies (same length) and other bits...reckon I'll stick 'em on the rear. Hoping the kit tyres provide better grip than the rtr ones...different compound so they may stick better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) lol. I've read about the different tyre compound lets hope as you say there of a better type/grip. I've seen the optional suspension and its ridiculous price and as you say red this on a blue/black theme buggy is not to taste. I always like to find threaded shocks in a kit but it's something most company's miss out on I find, I've seen somewhere on the yank boards about the d8 bodies here's hoping they slot in nice I'll get it all built and go from there As I was saying to Tug yesterday, I find it a great looking thing and the size is a nice plus too all this in a 2wd package can't help but think it'll be great fun.

Tug Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Which one have you gone for? Buggy or Desert Buggy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Buggy it's had a price crash thanks to the later model What shock oil are you using Tug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 RTR, so whatever came in it. I think it's 40wt, that'd certainly be a good starting point. 2wd Buggy, so you'll want the rear slightly softer than the front. Perhaps 45/40, front to rear?

sean-vrs Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Ok great, it was just with the weight I hear these are 4.5 - 5kg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Haven't actually weighed mine, will try and do that tonight if you like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Yea great cheers Tug, I just wanted see what I could do too counter the apparent nose dive they seem to do. Other then sheer power, maybe shock setup could help.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Mine hasn't suffered from that, jumps have been medium size at their largest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeb Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I'm having a bloody nightmare with this thing. Random cut outs, problems starting and sounds really boggy at low revs. I've tried putting the hsn all the way closed then going back to factory but no matter how much I tightened it it never came to a stop. Got the needle back to where I think it should be and it's really inconsistent. Will run ok for a few minutes the cut out. I suspect it's overheating. Couple of questions has any one else suffered as above and what fuel are you using ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of nitro-heads there who might know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 If you suspect it's running hot and overheating it'll be running too lean, fuel starvation on the LSN will give you the bogging symptoms. and the idol will need adjusting so that the RPM range does not engage the clutch for it then to start taking off on its own accord, that and not stopping. When you do a pinch test what happens to the RPM and how does it affect the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you do a pinch test what happens to the RPM and how does it affect the engine? I can't see anything about the lsn in the manual, i've looked for it but can only see the hsn and idle. The idle is in a stupid position too need an L shaped flat blade to touch it as plastics are in the way so I haven't adjusted it. Rpm goes up when it's pinched.

sean-vrs Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) http://www.kyosho.com/eng/support/instructionmanual/engine/engine_index.html Top one mate states that there is a LSN adjustment.. Some reason they have blacked out the diagram. Do you have a picture of the carb? Edited March 1, 2015 by sean-vrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
