is the engine stiff to turn over or does it pull out easily with little resistance?

its definitely a gv rex x and as above, if you want a hyper, get a hyper. the rex, although not a bad piece of kit, is nowhere near as strong compared to a hyper. the lugs on the diff cases where the shock towers bolt on have a habit of breakin off after big air or bad rolls. atleast the 2 i had did. what you paid altogether is about right, maybe a bit much depending on what condition the buggy and starter box were in and exactly what was included. i sold 1 as a roller for

i'm kinda likin how youtube is atm apart from the comments, if you want to see replys to comments, you have to open a new windows for each and every comment, a bit 15 years ago with that i think. anyways the bug ive found is that if i am watching vids from a channel, i'll load the vid up from the vids page of the channel, click back after watching to find another vid and the load more button is greyed out so i have to reload the channel then reload the vids page after every vid. does this happen to anybody else or is it just me?

Stick a night vision camera at the end of the garage inside so when he goes in it catches him. If your wanted as well they will catch you if ty find you livin There basically.
exactly why i cant get them involved. im workin on sortin the warrent out, its just for non payment of fines but they are bein paid off. i cant put a cam in the garage because its too far away and cant afford a night vision cam atm to put in the window. i can remove the IR lense from a webcam and use IR leds but i doubt the leds would reach far enough to get any usable images

the story is that several months ago i stopped some **** beating his girlfriend up in the street because she wouldnt give him the last of her food money for booz. outcome of that was i got stabbed but stupidly didnt press charges so he got away with beatin her up and stabbin me. he lives oppasite me and since then, the sofa and armchairs i have in my sheltered drive bay have been gettin interfered with, cushons missing, the sofa thrown over and cushons everywhere. its gotta be him because its only been happenin since that night. the car park is private property but not secured. i dont really want to go bangin on his door like i would have done once apon a time because i am currently wanted and knowing my luck, his sis will call the law. same goes for me callin the law, knowin my luck, they will nick me, plus they wont do anything without evidence other than take a statement. i have a cam in the bedroom window but its only any use during the day when it doesnt happen. so i could do with some advice on where to go from here. thats a 2 piece suit and a 3 armchair set ruined now
thanks in advance

either or tbh. with new you will know for definite its history and that its been run in correctly on the correct fuel and correct tune but at the same time, a used engine can be just as good if its from somebody that knows how to look after them. budget can also play a big part in it

puters always sell on local facebook pages mate. even if it aint great you should still get

infinityward made ghosts and the pc forums are on fire with complaints about how terrible it is. it was nowhere near ready to launch and is apparently a hackfest already. no surprise there though

cheers for that mate
the bulb leak is the diaphram split just get a replacement for the walbro carb.
the entirety of the carb seemed ok, just need a good clean.
grip tape, ebay look for skateboard tape ( same stuff)
will do
DO NOT wire brush the alloy you will ruin it.
dont worry i know not to wire brush alloy, i used a medium tooth brush for scrub work and just a bristle to prod the fuel canals
replace gaskets with new one, grab some decent mixing oil and a new tank with filter.
its just 1 small split which i have a joiner and spare line which has worked golden in the past
swap the front tyre to the rear and the rear to front.
front tyre is different to back
wire brushing the disc may not be a decent option you may remove more than needed and
cause the disk to fail under use, maybe better to replace the disk and strip down and clean the caliper unit.
dont worry ive done this hundreds of times and never had anyproblems after the first few. in the end i used emry paper with screw loose to get the worst of it off then used a flat file to even the disk out, stripped the caliper down and gave it the same treatment with emry and toothbrush, made the brake nice and free but plenty of grab
cleaned up and reverted back to showroom condition it could command a couple hundred quid
depending on goped name brand, engine and kids always want speed
its a genuine bigfoot goped with ada billet big daddy deck, ada stalker can, ada tank outer etc. engine is a g260rc which feels like its got lots of compression left. when primed and ready to fire, the p/s pulls the whole deck up if you dont put weight on it

gave it a go monday and it just started to fire up after leakin fuel all over the kitchen floor, but before it could actually fire up, the pullstart broke. had man flu all week so not really been bothered with it but today i finally got round to fixin the pullstart and it fired straight up with the residual fuel in the carb. so i'll replace the fuel line tomorrow and take it out for a blast round the car park. that is assuming the carb and engine is ok since i killed it pretty quick so not to fill the place up with smoke but it seems promising. the stalker can sounds pretty nice

i tried 1 a mate had in his box a few months ago. saw no difference bashing in a car park. as nitro said basicly

i ended up gettin go juice and oil for my goped so will be another couple of weeks till i get mine lol

this sorta thing happens all the time, im personally very reluctant to lend things out now as its happened to me several times, dont care if i get branded as selfish as a result ironically by the potential thief but hey ho.
i'd rather be branded as selfish than a mug that has to fork out for new kit all the time because tea leaves keep "borrowing" things

gutted for you mate. i dont lend anything out unless its somebody i know well, if anybody comes to me asking for this that or the other and i dont know them, i tell them to bring it to me or tell me where to meet them so everything i take, comes home with me too

does it rev up before cuttin out?

resistors are just current limiting to protect the leds so they dont burn out too quick. in theory, 3 x 2v leds should be ok on a 6v supply if run in series but you should still run resistors to increase the life of the leds, especially if they are parallel. you can get strips of resistors on ebay dirt cheap. last time i did this, i used 330ohm resistors. im sure somebody will be able to explain better than i can though. in the final version, i used 1 resistor straight off the output and it was ok for a while but 2 of the 3 leds i used burnt out pretty quick

i use tool box brand super glue from poundland, not found anything thats come unstuck after using it yet

That is a pretty cool machine you got there mate
thanks man its got alot of aftermarket stuff on it.
the problem with the primer not workin was due to crust inside that didnt come out in the first clean. gave it another blast and prod with screw loose and it sucks fine now, just gotta get some go juice to see if itl fire up
