I'll look into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorillaZilla Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Another thing you can do, is replace the 2 main 12mm M4 Cap head bolts that hold the Steering Knuckles in the C-Hubs with slightly longer 14mm ones, and threadlock em in good. Just to use every last mm of thread in the Aluminium Steering knuckles for Maximum bash powah. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorillaZilla Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 You need to add a 0.5mm thick M4 washer on top of the thick washer that's already there, just so you get that extra 1.5mm of thread in the knuckles without poking out far enough to rub on the Universal joint driveshaft.

Stormbringer Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 the battery holder is designed for a stick type pack and to keep it off chassis its supposed to be cable tied into the holder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCbutcher Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 If i get back into nitro I think ill buy a real nice engine and exhaust new then buy used rollers to suit it and play the feild like a youthful oap in a nursing home. Swapping the engine out having my fun then moving to the next. I've played with more than afew nitros but only got real chuffties out of the traxxas revo nitro. They bsolutely killed anything else I had. I had bad experiences with buggies bending the chassis. Loved their acceleration though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxy Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 Hi all quick update I’ve ran the 1st 3 tanks through the car I had to adjust the HSN just to richen it up to make sure it’s getting enough lubrication when I come to driving the car I will lean out the HSN abit so it will run without spluttering. obviously it’s due to it been rich. These engines don’t half run warm was shocked at 1st but I looked up it’s normal for the mac star 28 to run fairly hot must admit I’m not keen on this cops pull starter ha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) this might sound disgusting but just spit on it if the spit dances about like a mad thing its to hot if it sits there and sizzles its fine my son is new school im old school and i find if you run by temp it doesnt work right i have used temp guns etc but find its not be all end all if motor is running ok and its above recomended fine how many glow plugs i break not many how many he breaks 10 x as many how many engines break none in both counts 🍻 Edited August 9, 2020 by Stormbringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
