[henzy190]

Henzy190 iv got a hong nor 3 piece clutch got it from wheelspin ul need a new flywheel and clutch nut aswell and iv had mine in for about a month and is workin great seems to be goin better than ever.

Thats good to hear, I'll have a look into those. I wasnt sure how effective they'd be. Is it metal?

Thanks mate...

I also found that the problem with the old one, after much examination, is the spring has stretched slightly so theres too much play in the clutch.

Hi guys,

I've had my truggy just over a month. Do a lot of bashing on a dirt bmx track with really big air. Broke 4 drive shafts and 2 wheel hubs so far..

Done the conversion to trophy buggy style driveshafts and wheel hex's, no more trouble, much stronger.. Essential upgrade I think if you like big air..

I'll post some pics soon..

Sweet looking truggy there Ipenhale

[HUNTER.P]

yeah, they only break if you hit something. Every car breaks at some stage. Its just a matter of when and where. But overall they are built well

I'm jealous. If only I had a beach so I could discover the true meaning of speed as well! And that jumping looked good, they certainly are good cars... itching to get mine fixed now! Looked like a lot of fun...

[HUNTER.P]

sweet photos and vids.

Is that a sea beach? or a fresh water beach?

Rust might become a problem, also i know what its like getting your tool box cleaned out (carmst74 )

Try having both halfs open and your hole screw kit in the top half! Think I collected most of them though!

(ipenhale what about the wheels?)

[HUNTER.P]

also just my opinion but was your truggy running a bit lean on the beach run? Sounded as if it was

[lpenhale15]

Its a sea beach i thought about rust dun worry iv got it completly stripped down as we speak cleaned every inch and oiled.

It does seem abit lean that was the first bash a ran on byron race fuel and it seemed to behave differently to the optifuel might tune slightly for next time gona switch back to opitfuel for next time tho i think its better

As for the wheels just waiting to get my money from ebay then il give you a buzz k HUNTER

Iam not sure mate will keep you posted

[henzy190]

It did actually seem a bit lean... not too bad though, not as bad as when Mr-Know-It-All club chairman gatecrashed his own club a fortnight ago on Saturday... he was a total Knob. Primed the engine too much, so it was a pain all day thanks to him. And he "misplaced" my tuning screwdriver (an extra long one I made from an oil cap) on the other side of the pits...

Why me?!

Thants enough ranting for one day anyhow.

[autobutcher]

what's the best fuel to run the truggy on, just for general looning about?

[henzy190]

what's the best fuel to run the truggy on, just for general looning about?

Optifuel, or 50/50 fuel as I call it, because it has good cooling from the oil (so the engine doesn't get too hot) and it has decent power output. Whereas, for example, Byrons race fuel is more 70/30, the 70 representing power. Also Optifuel won't void your HPI engine warranty whereas other fuels will.
