smithy1135 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Id imagine that orders over a certain amount will have free postage. And id imagine that this 'certain amount' will be less than 180 quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midi-mania Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 so if i buy the car in the "combo" can i choose what fuel i get? or can i only have the 16% and does anyone know how long the cars take to get delivered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_rc Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 so if i buy the car in the "combo" can i choose what fuel i get? or can i only have the 16% and does anyone know how long the cars take to get delivered? Erm I think you have to buy the fuel of your choice separately/not instead of MS's 16%. And all orders, subject to stock, are going to dispatched 2nd January. However the Hyper is out of stock till the 12th Jan it says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midi-mania Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 how many tanks is that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy1135 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 (edited) 8. 1litre is not enough, you will need about 2 litres to run it in. Edited January 1, 2008 by smithy1135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midi-mania Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 so it will take 16 tanks of fuel to run in? how many tanks do i start to half throttle etc at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy1135 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Itll take about 12 tanks. Half throttle will be after about 4 tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midi-mania Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 (edited) so i let it idle on a box or something ,wheels spinning? and then after 4 tanks go to half throttle for 8 tanks? then go onto just driving it round?

midi-mania Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 how do i keep it running on idle? will it just keep running on its own? and how do i keep it at half throttle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midi-mania Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 someone said erlier that the manuals are rubbish? im a guy anyway, i dont use manuals, work stuff out through trial and very bad error rofl ile hae to wait till i get it to read it then... unless i can find one on the net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olly Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 back to running the engine in i thought and the manuel + hpi dvd says to let it idle for 2 tanks then for another 2 tanks drive it at around 1/3 throttle the after that you do another 2 tanks gradually building up at once in a straight line got to full throttle for around 2 seconds then back off and brake turn and come back and you do it in circles or am i wrong tell me the corrections?

midi-mania Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 i dont know but i would rather have more than one opinion on the matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stock_Nitro Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 (edited) i dont know but i would rather have more than one opinion on the matter Idle for 2 tanks worth, then drive it around for a tank on very low throttle, but don't just hold it down all the time, hold the trigger in for short bursts and let it coast before re-applying it again Let the engine cool down, then start it up again and drive it around for another tank or two in the same way (try to make sure you get the piston to stop at the bottom of the stroke when you leave it to cool down, you can do this by slowly pulling the pullstart when it has stopped and just after you feel the most resistance; stop there because it should have returned to the bottom. In simple terms the reason you do this is to make sure that when the engine contracts as it cools, the piston won't be squeezed too much). Then once more let the engine cool down a bit and then start it up again, increase yours throttle pressure, but don't go above 1/2 - 2/3 I would say, then lean off the high speed needle 1/8th of a turn and slowly start to increase your throttle pressure so you can take advantage of the higher speed mix being leaned off. Don't make all of the adjustments on the same tank of fuel though, make sure you get through as many tanks as you can (i'd say about 10-12 during the whole break in) whilst tuning it in. Keep going in a methodical fashion until you are fairly happy with the high speed settings and then start to lean out the low speed needle, or alternatively adjust both in alternating turns. Eventually you will have both low and high running on optimal settings, but as others have said, always richen up the needle 1/8th of a turn once you have got the optimum so that you make sure you have enough lubrication, especially during the run in. I'm sure there will be some much better good break in guides around here somewhere if you do some searches.

midi-mania Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 by lean and richen by a 1/8th of a turn... what do you mean? screw it in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stock_Nitro Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 by lean and richen by a 1/8th of a turn... what do you mean? screw it in? Lean = Turn the skrew clockwise as if you were tightening it Richen = Turn the skrew anti-clockwise as if you were undoing it I'm sure you figure out the 1/8th of a turn part Make sure you look at the engine running in sheet that was provided with the model, the paper one not the glossy manual, because this will show you which needles do what. From memory it goes like this: STNV = Low Speed Needle (The Needle that is on the blue expandable part of the carb that links to the throttle servo) MNV = High Speed Needle (The elongated needle in the copper tube that points upwards) TAS = Idle Setting Needle (turning this clockwise will raise the idle revs, this needle is hard to get to as the exhaust is in the way more often than not) Do not under any cirsumstances adjust the skrew that faces outwards from the left-handside of the carb (the one in the chubby silver cyllinder that the high speed needle goes down into) as this is the mid range needle, and you need to leave that at factory settings!

Stock_Nitro Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 then why dont they just have this part built into the carb instead of were brothers can fiddle Hehe, well it does add another element of fine tuning, but stick to the factory setting on that one for now, or all of your low and high end tuning will have to be adjusted to compensate. Let me know how you get on and come back to me if you have any problems as i'm glad to help out where I can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy1135 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 (edited) Screwing it in = leaner Screwing it out= richer Edit: Oops, im a bit late Edited January 2, 2008 by smithy1135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
