Well technically a 1000:1 contrast ratio would be a lot worse than a CRT TV but I know what you mean Does it do 1080p over component?

Looks good but only 1 HDMI connection is a bit poor,that along with the 1000:1 contrast ratio. Hopefully it is fine for you but that single HDMI wouldn't be suitable for me.

Dont know but for just £8 it has to be worth a go,yes?

Sand it or use a Dremel with the wire brush attachment.

When I had mine I removed one shock off each corner and refilled the ones left with FG 500wt oil. The stock set up of two shocks per corner is way to stiff and I think they have 1000wt oil in them. Remove the rear anti roll bar as well if you haven't already,you do get a bit more roll but it frees up the rear suspension nicely so it actually moves.

Slightly off topic but you got any pics,we need something new to look at even if we've seen it before

Nice one! I would love a bike but two things would happen to me. The first thing would be that it would scare me to death and the second would be that after I got used to the speed I would wrap it and myself around a tree and that would be that.

Is it Castrol TT or Castrol TTS you are using? Ideally you dont want to change between synthentic and mineral based if you can help it. I use the TTS and fine it good as it isn't very smokey and the car just seems better to me on it. If you do want to swap a strip down and clean out would probably be the best thing to do,I have also heard of people changing the piston ring when changing between oils but I dont know why

If you build a car from a kit it will normally include screws of the right type to fit the servos into the car. I know Tamiya kits dont make use of the rubber grommets,they just screw the servo down directly.

I seriously doubt you will buy kits complete with radio gear for £100 or less at retail. It might be better to contact a UK company or distributor to see if they can help you.

The red fuel tank makes me think it might be Kyosho as well,definetly not an HPI.

Should go right on as you have the OWB already in the Rotostart so you shouldn't need any other bits. Come to think of it the only problem might be the small screws that hold the starter on,the ones on the Roto might be slightly longer than on the pull start and I dont know if you get screws with the pullstart. I might be totally wrong but it might be worth looking into.

As i might get one of these sometime in the near future, saves the hassle of running a nig nitro Still going strong,I haven't used it in anger for a while but by coincidence I stuck a bit of fuel in today and started it up,started easily on the 5th pull If I were to buy anything now I would probably get the Riot,basically a bigger Rascal. I was thinking of getting some of the Riot parts such as the suspension arms to make a wider Rascal and maybe getting a proper exhaust to fit. Then I came to my senes and said why? For how much I use it I will leave it as it is I think

You get quite a few tools and bits to be honest,a lot better than the spark plug spanner and couple of allen keys (I think) you get with an FG.

Is a shock shaft bent? Does the car sit level,is the chassis tweaked some how? No matter how well you stick stuff back together it is never going to be the same as one solid piece.
