RCpete Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Its a shame, Kyosho are great imo, they have done some great cars over the years.... and some poor ones. I will always have a soft spot for the inerno as it comes from a long line of 1/8th scale buggies . They invented the 1/8th buggy, the days of the Burns series of cars of the 80's, it started it all! But unfortunately there just are not enough inferno owners im afraid! Maybe you should change it to a Kyosho owners thread, let us see all the interesting Kyosho's people have!

brit_bulldog Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Being a Kyosho Guy i keep my eye on what is used at different places tracks etc. Its very popular in my area and always been a good intro model to 1/8th buggy. There's not a lot you would need to do to it to improve performance other than the right wheels and tires and possibly upgrade Engine.

On the subject of wheels and tyres im looking for a decent set of spikes, for non cut grass, its not terribly long I could jest use better traction, i was looking at the badlands or similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you find that the pipe from the fuel cell to the carb very short, mine was bent as such it had a kink which was causing fuel starvation causing some initial starting issues Would adding a longer pipe in with more flowing bends be ok do ytou think?

brit_bulldog Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Hi Gwigga, You dont really want that pipe too long, However it does not want to be Kinked. Try to make sure its routed properly and add Cleats to that it does not twist or come off. To make a cleat we just cut a small length of fuel pipe and put it over the pipe where it goes onto the nipples. Best way to do it is with long nose pliers to open the cleat up enough to slip over the pipe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do mean split a piece of fuel pip and wrap it round or is it stretchy enough to be double layered as such? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brit_bulldog Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 No Don't Split, You make it stretch over. Cut a piece of old fuel pipe to about 3 or 4mm long, get some long nose pliers and slip inside and open it up enough to go over the fuel line to be fitted to the nipple! http://www.neobuggy.net/2014/08/09/under-the-hood-elliott-boots-5/ Have a look at the Cleat on the Fuel tank pressure nipple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it, tightens up the seal see the pic below mine follows the path of the red arrow and becuase the carb nipp points down it puts a bend it to what is a really short pipe to start with Edited February 27, 2015 by Gwigga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Hungus Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Pretty sure he means double layer it (the small extra length going over the outside to increase compression on the fitting). I build PC's with water cooling and the principle is the same, many people were using hose clips until it was best practise to use oversize fitting with heated tubing put over the top which is much more secure.

Karl Hungus Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 could always boil a few pieces up also use to do this to the old long antena tubes that used to be stubborn lol Reason I double posted the same answer. PC cooling using acrylic tubing which can be heated to increase flexibility, RC tubing AFAIK is silicone which is resistant to heat so I doubt can be heated to increase flexibility, but if i'm wrong happy to be corrected.

Karl Hungus Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Mines on order now. RTR should really include a metal detector huh XD Forgot some fuel line and still unsure if theres a fuel filter fitted to the tank so went back for some bits this morning along with some blue threadlock! EDIT: also saw something abut this and always being the left hand side due to the direction of the thread so time to hunt matching blue reverse thread nuts I guess lol Edited March 2, 2015 by Karl Hungus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
