QRC Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Well I never thought I would ever go back to nitro, but due to a certain YT vid featuring Mike Cradock hooning a Kyosho around, got me thinking, my nearest track is HNMC, a mere 42 miles away, it had to be done, in addition a member on this forum, my local bashing colleague, @Euphoria,has decided to enter the racing world as well. So two of these cars arrived this morning and preparation is underway for their break in, 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QRC Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 Going see how well or not the stock servos perform while break in, was planning on swapping out to Savox, but have had Alturn recommended, https://www.modelsport.co.uk/alturn-usa-high-performance-race-servo-high-speed-/rc-car-products/359785 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QRC Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) Time for an update, engine break in was carried out over the last two days, day one in rain and today dry at least. Ended up using a fusion of engine break in techniques. All went very well, final tune this coming Saturday at a large scale bash in north Norfolk. Anyhow here’s a few pic and vids, Edited August 27, 2018 by QRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.K Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 HNMC is a great place to run, only 20mins from me! Some really good guys there, unfortunately I no longer have the time to commit to racing but I sometimes pop over on a weekday and hit the track Looking forward to reading the updates!

Not busy at all - i'm often the only one there, worst case 2 or 3 others. If there's a national coming up then quite a few of the team drivers practice during the week. I tend to stay out the way on the basher track on those days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.K Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 No worries, enjoy! If you've still got your Wraith your £12 gets you onto the crawler track too - can easily spend most the day there. Just bare in mind they only take cash for the track fee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary45 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 A bit of both really need to see if I can still use them before trying to race anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have pushed my Inferno to the limit, on multiple different surfaces, with no breakages, it been the easiest engine to break in and tune. The only issue myself and another member on here, local basher to me, is the the pull start, not up to the job. Both of us have starter boxes, so not a great deal.
