  1. Cheaper than X-ray, mugen, losi eu and 8.2 so some might say a bargain?
  2. Shame that as their 1/8 buggy / truggy look nice
  3. Nice idea wonder if it works? I bought these three sizes last year
  4. I think there is as the engine is mounted forward for weight distribution. Bit of a strange combo!
  5. I think this more for the people who feel the need for set-up station,
  6. I was told the pressure line should be between 6" and 8"
  7. 4s lipo 5000mAh should last a couple of days, cheap and light Bought from hobby king
  8. Looks good. I am sure they considered weight distrubion when they designed this.
  9. I would get either the Argus A52, it comes matched with the JP4 so it must be well matched? I have the GO GX5R II with the JP4 and i like it. Both are well priced
  10. isn't the dex408 coming out next year? which i would guess will be much cheaper than e conversion to a nitro buggy?
  11. I use NVR at 1/8 most weekends and love it, If you have a starter box you will struggle to go wrong with an Alpha, Argus or the GO engine.
  12. I have had picco engines and they are good. The new GO GXII are getting rave reviews on rctech Losi uses imperial screw sizes and that would do my head in
  13. if all the above is done and there is a 1mm idle gap lean the LSN 1/8 to a 1/4 then try (clockwise)
  14. how often would you change the element with these and do you have to oil them?
  15. 35wt front 30wt rear
  16. I have a savox 1258 throttle servo, and I found that the ansmann throttle return spring would not move it, i tried the red elastic bands the postman dropped and to get it to move i needed 2 folded in half, 2 folded in half though i though was far too much strain and risked damaging a £50 servo. I have noted on here people saying receiver batteries can last them 3 months, and they can get servos for £5, maybe if they invested money in decent servos, and changed their battieries every 5 tanks, charged the TX once a week kept the wires neat in the radiobox performed regular maintenance, and kept the throttle linkage running straight, run aways would be a thing of the past? as for the the RC nitro kill switch it is too complicated in my opinion and just as open to failure as anything else, and is it waterproof? As a gimmick it looks cool though
  17. try www.etamiya.com/shop tools there especially the EDS tools are well priced
  18. The shock absorber is 16mm not the spring? I own all three and the xray springs do not fit
  19. xray springs do not fit a caster but the hong nor ones definatly do.
  20. I would trust the ansmannover the hobby king charger any day! It is limits itseff to a certain amount of Amps when you have a certain number of cells, it charges my 3s battery at 5A and my 4s battery at 3.2A, clearly the max it limits itself too is 50W? I have the xbase 2.0 and it always balances them nicely, maybe not the fastest for a lipo, but more than adequate for charging at home, for a nitro this is spot on it charges everything in my box no hassle
  21. lipo is the future, for starter boxes anyway
  22. bit cheaper and faster http://www.bmmracing.co.uk/dynamite-maxlife-aluminium-clutch-p-1983.html I use this with no problems http://www.bmmracing.co.uk/hong-alloy-clutch-shoes-astro-tracks-p-2817.html
  23. race or not modern servos eat batteries! 3 tanks and a battery monitor reckons the battery is down 50%, I run 1600MAh reciver with savox 125x servos, no point in nice quality servos if 6v battery is at 4v?
