im running 17/40 on 4s with an xerun 2000kv motor and it runs sweet.

no good for 6s but then i am happy with the speed this has on 4s.

Whack out the hacksaw

If it's not leaking through the o-rings...that just leaves the bearings and teh gaskets to check

Amazon have them the part number is hpi 7777 , but 63 delivered from japan bugger why not do ya own ya cud do 2 maybe 3 for that price dude

I think its because the 2nd gear has some sort of slipper and if grease gets on it it will mess up the gearchange and if any grit gets in the gearbox it will stick to the gears and grind them down

So Nitroholic can I get the grease off and out of the 3 speed without stripping all the gears down?

Nope. Only way to get the grease out is to strip the gearbox...and that means taking one chassis side off

I think so appart from other more caustic stuff as A.J pointed out :-)

Cheers guys.I will pop to tescos a bit later to get some:)

Wouldnt the oven cleaner eat the plastic? Ive been reading up on deanodizing and it says if done too long it can eat away the alloy so prob could the plastic too.

Best way ive removed chrome off wheels is use them lol it soon falls off but not properly so that's no help.

Yea plenty, think the holes are only about 5-6mm

Thanks mate:)

pollycarbonate is for clear lexan shells, acrilic is for anything solid, like the hardbodies shell for scalers and tamiya models

PS paints is kinda rubberised to bend and strech with lexan. Acrilic will crack and fall off.

Thanks guys:)

No it goes a wired sort of purple .. white will go red or any colour but anything else just dye black

Thanks mate.i was wondering if it would go purple.I will leave it yellow

Thanks I see what you mean but the flames will be prity small so they will be hard to mask around.I am now thinking I should do the shell red with white flames.That will be alot easier

you can do it, aslong as the white is sprayed thick enough it shouldn't make a difference

mask off the areas to be white, shoot more coats of the red so say 5-7 coats thinly. once fully dry, remove mask and spray the rest white, the thicker red coat will help stop pinking and give that lush red on the can, its more consuming with time doing it this way, you will struggle to blend the flame coloring to the white shell

As its going on a nitro I don't need any special backing paint?

Acrlic car paint works well enough. You can use 'prope' backing paint....but yo don't have to. Acrylic car paints won;t stick to Lexan...so use proper polcarb sprays for your paintjob...but acrylicx will stick to the polycarb paint layer OK. I use Halfords white primer as a backing

Thanks again guys.So I will get a Tamiya yellow and use normal white spray for backing

From the UK warehouse? Surely not? Even HongKong orders should have landed by now?? Very poor show, retailers of cheap RC kit to the masses..

i stand corrected, i've been waiting 4 weeks now, from hk warehouse

Every time I have used HK from HK it takes 4-5 weeks for me to get delivery.

Just lock nuts mate.The size is 5-40x1/4".I cant find any anywhere

It's nice to have things colour coded, eBay would be your best bet, other people have them so they must be available from somewhere.

Try this bunch
