mini-z-awd Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 We're about sorry nit fiddle with carb yet no he isnt, thats a old carb screw that you dont need a screw driver for, my old kyosho has the same kind. they were popular on the old small blocks, when he turns it it with notch a lil on the metal pressing against it look closely, it is how it should be. after looking at it again i see what you mean it has little cutouts so its easier to turn by hand my mistake lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Welcome to the world of E-Bay buying.... You will struggle to get anything out of that. At no point did the seller lie at all. He failed to mention some issues....but you didn't ask either. His RC knowledge is also pretty much zero if he couldn;t tune the car himself. He never said it was in good condition, and clearly stated it hadn't run for a year.....and that it had been tuned by 'the shop' then. He mentioned the stripped gear. The rest is down to the buyer to ask a question or two. You made an offer under the asking price, and it was accepted. Mark it down to experience. If you buy a car that's been stood ( that's why the fuel is thick and oily ) you will need to clean it up, flush out the fuel lines, tank and carb, and sort a few issues. It's screaming due to lean running...probably down to a blocked jet or clogged needles. The volatile fuel components evaporate leaving an oily mes.

johninderby Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I don't mind fixing things up if the price is right and the seller is honest about it. Looks like it's been buried in a compost heap for a while. John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree here and if it looks a load of crap which this rc obviously is then your going to get a load of crap, The 2 cars that I brought and both were from eBay,I contacted the sellers (spoke to them not messaged) and asked every question possible and then you can get a sense of if they actually no what there talking about, Lesson learnt I hope.
