smallman28 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I was thinking of getting one just to muck about with,has anyone got one or seen one? I know Schumacher stuff isn't supposed to be the best but that .18 engine sounds tempting! http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=...mp;ItemID=24586 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesChatz Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 A few people have got one. G4 has got one, and he loves it. Its supposed to be a lot better made than their other products. There was also a review in RRCI and they loved it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revorussell Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 awesome mini nitro mate i've had mine ages now and the only thing i've broke on it is a rear shock mount (£6) and that was only because i was jumping a van with it and landing it very badly (because i could not see it ) well worth getting one imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I've got one too, its awesome fun. Mine only been run on 16%, but going up to 35% soon enough. New Era do some upgrades, like 12mm wheel adaptors, roll bar, tuned pipe etc, but its great out the box, even more so now the price has dropped. £140 ARR or £180 RTR.

Garry Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Nope. http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/837834.asp When the engine finally dies from it, I'll convert it to brushless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallman28 Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Another few Q's Is it normal size radio gear that is fitted,and what type 27Mhz AM? Is 25% nitro what is recommended or is it a case of use it with that till it kills it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revorussell Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 yeah it comes with normal size radio gear and its 27mhz am mate i think 25% is fine for it i think they say 16% is best but hey the engines are cheap as chips anyway .i must have used 5-6 gallons in my now and its going as good as it did when i first got it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallman28 Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 God dam! As much as I want to get one every time I get to the check out part of the order my sensible side kicks in and says "What do you want that for?" I keep thinking for that much I could get the brakes for the FG and finish that off,on the other hand I could just keep the money in my pocket for now Totally peed off at the moment now.

revorussell Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 just do it mate its only money lol .it will put a big smile on your face everytime you take it out i know mine does. best £180 i've spent in a long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantus Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 God dam! As much as I want to get one every time I get to the check out part of the order my sensible side kicks in and says "What do you want that for?" I keep thinking for that much I could get the brakes for the FG and finish that off,on the other hand I could just keep the money in my pocket for now Totally peed off at the moment now. Must say that I'm in exactly the same dilemma. I've got the cash but want to get my inferno running brushless before I get it. I know I'm going to get one before Christmas though. The guy at my LHS is actually waiting for me to go back and buy it Fantus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallman28 Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 Oh well,the deed is done I just oredered the combo which includes everything,the only thing is it also includes the dreaded Model Technics fuel I can live with that for now though. I also stuck on some after run oil,air filter oil and a fuel filter Should get it all Monday and it is being delivered to my works address,hopefully.

samij121 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 ignore the voices! from what ive heard they are ridiculously fast, and have on the dot acceleration, but dunno overall though, you could get a larger nitro for £20 but that defeatsthe object-small=more fun!
