The biggest issue with MT fuel is the high oil content in the blends most commonly stocked in Hobby Stores etc. The fuel they stock is not a blend intended for cars, but more for planes/heli's where the motor is running flat out for longer periods of time and under different situations. There are good blends of MT fuel ( check their website...they do dozens of different ones) and their are totally unsuitable ones for use in a car. I can only get eh 'wrong' stuff locally and it's about 16% oil give or take. Way too oily for me. Smoky, horrid and hard to tune. It's important to do your homework on the composition of a fuel before buying. I have switched this year from Byrons to Optifuel, on the grounds of cost mainly. Optifuel is about 20% cheaper. BUT ..... I wouldn't use the Optifuel RTR ....I use the Race blend. 9% oil race...16% oil RTR. That's why the stuff is so damn smokey too! Well worth tasking hte time to check the manufacturers website....as you will find the composition listed there.

Yep, that just looks the same as every other Civic Type R road car doesn't it.... Erm....

we waitin for weather to get bit warmer so the ground drys out a bit so we can start building, at the mo its been flattened out so still good to use, here's what its gunna look like when done:

My mate turned up at our bashing hill with his D-SLR camera. This is my other mate who bravely volunteered for this pic: (and yes I landed it fine) there's even a sheep in the picture as requested! Angry revo: Up, up and away!

very simple job, alittle messy though! It will be the diff for sure, its always happens. My advise is not to run it on grass or dirt to prolong life (alittle)

best bet is to open it up and have a look. its the best way to learn

This is a pic of a firestorm that was being sold on here a good few months ago. I saved this pic as it prompted me to get the badlands. I think the firestorm suits the bigger stance and with all four corners done!

YES!! ACME cars all use the same diffs!! The main diff gear and pinion inside the diff casing sheer all the time, ur lucky to get 5mins outa it!! I have has most acme cars as they're so cheap, workes out more expensive with all the diff parts needed every five mins!!lol Nothign you can do mate, even the steel diff gears sheer!

yes mate look at drive shafts and then the diffs welcome to the forum andy

probably

Liking the sheep - got any close up's? Cool pics there, where is it? Looks like Dassett?

Yeah, sideways

I think the best place to get stronger shock towers is from Fioroni in Italy, mine arrived in about 10 days: http://www.modellism...sp?art=OT-UR501 http://www.modellism...sp?art=OT-UR502 As I said in an earlier post the rear one has 3 rows of mounting holes so you can choose between standard or longer (upgrade) rear shocks without changing the tower (see pics): Stock driveshafts are plenty strong enough, i've bent one in 4 months of constant use (every Sunday) but a section of heatshrink tube around the outside of the CVD will prevent the internals going flying in the event of the grubscrew coming loose. The CVDs are also very wear resistant provided you lube them regularly. Just use spray grease from Halfords, there's not really any need to strip the CVD. Even if you run in sand/mud you can just blast them clean with WD40 and then re-lube them. If you want to upgrade the rear/centre dogbones get onto ebay international and just search for "Hot Bodies D8" where you can find Hara edition D8 driveshafts for less than half the price they are in the UK. In fact the Vorza is basically an electric D8, almost all the suspension/transmission parts are the same so this is where I get most of my bits these days. Hope this helps!

aye remember though for some *money* aint an issue! so

Is it just to change colour you fancy the arms ? Looking at his stuff and location, I'd guess they are just another Chinese seller, but branding the packets. The tyres he sells have RovanSport written on them So my guess would be all the parts are Rovan or KM in new bags. Now that's not defo a bad thing, but they'll be no better than HPi arms in terms of strength. If it's cheap coloured arms you want, they will do the job. But having seen stock vs RPM arms, I'd stay stock and carry a few spares

there is some SWEET looking cars witch i had all of them lol

Modelsport is

You mean the Pro Graphix shell? That won't come with BL stickers either ( only the original shell that comes with the BL erevo will have those stickers on it- just hand-paint or stencil on 'Erevo BL' if it makes you feel better ), and a quick google search of the part number TRX-5611X suggests every shop this side of the atlanic is out of stock; not a terribly popular item, or incredibly popular maybe ( hard to tell, lol ). Ordering from the USA is your only option, but the unpainted stocker is fine- just do a nice simple 1 colour paint job and don't worry about the aerial hole- the shell will be trashed soon enough anyway I'm guessing

u`ed have to b a complete tool to buy them.. .or a yank.... ...

First time with Wire Wool! by willashcroft, on Flickr A Bigger Tunnel! by willashcroft, on Flickr

I'll be getting one soon hopefully are they available yet ??

http://www.helipal.com/rc-car-spare-parts_hsp-gears.html?osCsid=b2t6gg9lf0qu5u8leolrrg4pp3 that's 15 seconds of my life lost to google searching for "hsp radio control spare parts"

TBH mate, I wouldn't worry about it. Take heart from the fact that he just talked about the idea with you before you parted with money as I have. I put my trust in someone who has perhaps shown his true colours....... the 'designs' he did for me were awesome but I know I can get the same if not better (ie as in ACTUALLY) getting them elsewhere. By being so un-professional he's lost out on a ton of business but that is clearly un-important to him. Better the devil you know....... There's nowt so queer as folk. nuff said

I can now be added to the club as my shiny new Vorza arrived on Friday! Just need the weather to improve so I can go a use it - hey ho, at least it gives the postman time to deliver my T Bone bumper and skid plate before I wreck it!!

i think there is some gas leaking from a crack somewhere

I hope he gets a bleeding turbo, so when he doesn't win he doesn't have it as an excuse every meet.

More pics of the tango'd Vorza I'll be putting lots of pics in my gallery soon.

cant wait to see this done my 1-1 suzuki sj

Wooohooo my vorza's been tango'd
