tbh bud id go for either the hyper or the hong nor both great cars and a wide range of spares about but as for the kyosho still a great car but not as many spares around bein the only reason id go for the hong nor or hyper if this is your first niro remember all the extraas youll need to get car running glowplug chargers (needed) fuel (needed) aro (advised) hump pack batts and charger(advised) fail safe (needed) stop thse runaways. tools for maintainance. im sure youll make the right choice of car bud either way there is plenty of help on the forum

Actually, the more oil the better in most cases unless racing... At SNRC most people run the Optifuel RTR 25% which has 16% oil, a lot of the more serious people changed to the Race stuff which has 7% oil or something, they all recommend it only if you are good at tuning as the lower the oil the more spot on you need to be with the tune as oil is essential to the mix. If air temp is:- .........Cool you richen it, Warm lean it. Humidity:-..............Humid you richen it, Dry lean it. Altitude:-..................Low you richen it, High lean it. Nitro content:-........30-40 you richen it, 10-30 lean it. Oil content:-..........Low oil you richen it, High lean it. Glow plug temp:-........Cold you richen it, Hot lean it. To Richen your needle settings you turn anti clockwise. To Lean your needle settings you turn it clockwise.

Take care with static electricity! If you don't have a anti static band or something, I suggest touching a metal tap or something that is earthed. It's not that easy to damage components from static electricity, but you should be careful. Try to avoid touching the components on the PCB of each part, ie the motherboard, GPU, HDD etc. Another good earthing point if your PSU. Plug in the PSU and just touch the metal casing. CPU wise, there should be 2 little notches on 2 sides of the CPU. There will be 2 bits in the CPU socket, which will match the ones on the CPU. Thermalpaste wise you won't have to worry as it comes pre-applied on the HSF The RAM you proberly will have to push quite hard. Install the ram in the slot closest to the CPU, then leave a gap and install the next RAM module in the next slot. There will be standoffs and screws included with the case. Just put all the standoffs in the correct place on the motherboard tray. Install the I/O shield, and put the motherboard in and screw it down, don't do it super tight though. For the GPU remove the 2 expansion slot covers as required, push the card into the 1st PCI-E slot (nearest the CPU). It should then click into place. Then use the screws that you got off the expansion slots to secure the graphics card. Install any other HDD's, DVD/CD drives into the case. Pretty straight forward. After that, wire it all up, 4 pin molex for the DVD drive(s) SATA power connector for the HDD(s). giant cable (24 pin) goes into the motherboard, along with the 4 (I think it's 4 pin on your motherboard) CPU power connector. Graphics card takes 2 6 pin PCI-E power connectors. Then you'll want your data cables. HDD takes a SATA data cable. They are proberly red or orange for you, small flat cable, has a long L shaped slot in each end so it fits only one way. Insert this into SATA_0 on your motherboard, and for you optical drive, it's the same and put it in SATA_1. It doesn't really matter exactly what SATA port you use on the motherboard, but it's nice to keep things organised After that wireup your front panel connectors, USB will come as one connector on your case. On your motherboard there will be a USB or similarly named port at the very bottom. That's where the front panel USB connector goes. Next, you have your front panel audio, be careful here as if you wire this up wrong you could damage your motherboard. It varies from different cases and motherboards exactly what to plug the front panel audio connector into as sometimes there are more than one. If I were you I would scan the motherboards user guide for information regarding front panel audio. Now, for the last and the hardest one is the power, reset, HDD activity etc connector. It's still very easy though You're lucky, you have an Asus board so you get the "Q connector". This makes it simple. The last cable for the case should have lots of little 2 pin connectors on the end, one might say PWR, the other RESET or HDD LED etc. Simply slot these into the corresponding pins on the Q connector, make sure you get it the right way round. You will want the lettering on each connector to be facing outwards. After you've done them all, slot it into the motherboard. The socket should be near the SATA ports, usually bottom right. If you're unsure which way it goes in, just check say, the bottom left cable, if it's HDD LED, light it up with the HDD LED one on the motherboard and slot it in. Sorted
