  1. Yeah what happens is the plastic on the ez start around the owb isn't strong enough to cope with the tightness and compression of the picco and it quickly looses its shape which allows the owb to move and jam up the ez start. I also fitted a hpi savage flywheel ,clutch and clutchbell as the trx clutch is way too weak. Don't let it put you off though cos once you've fitted a 1/8 tuned pipe and gear up a few teeth the picco is a beast and your will be a flying machine
  2. Im running the exact same engine as the axial but re-branded and its been great http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JV-Shop-EN-28-Nitro-Engine-for-HPI-SAVAGE-4-6-5-9-/271234269959?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item3f26d28307 These are great for the
  3. Good choice but I would run the engine in for at least 3/4 of a gallon using a pull start then stick the ez start on it . The picco motor has a lot of pinch and when I had mine the ez start really struggled to turn it over then after a few runs the one way bearing damaged the ez start case twice.
  4. Get a hobao hyper st same
  5. Yeah jp1 is for bottom end power Jp2 is top end Jp3 is a mixture of both jp1 and 2 Jp4 is a revised version of the jp3 and is race legal better suited to racers
  6. I do enjoy a jump or two and really fancy one of these so ill be copying you lol Where do the grub screws go?
  7. Top job ! Do these feel so weak that they need the extra bracing?
  8. Dont how they work but they do lol You can see and feel the extra power a good pipe gives your engine they are well worth investing in. I have a jp-3,jp-4 and a Hong Nor bigbore pl-810 and out the three the hong nor gives the best perfomance on my 28 engine
  9. Yep mighty fine job you did there it looks Bang tidy !
  10. Yeah i really really like the look of it but theres just so much more i can get for that type of money.
  11. Modelsport sell loads but heres a cheapy that will do the job http://www.modelsport.co.uk/fusion-nx84-sprint-ac-auto-charger/rc-car-products/39235
  12. I dont have one but from what ive seen and read they are a great buggy.
  13. Very nice mate I'm interested to know how it holds for ya I'm considering the nitro version if I don't buy a stampede over xmas
  14. here you go mate http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRAXXAS-TMAXX-REVO-SPARES-3281-FLYWHEEL-CONE-SPLIT-BEVEL-/141079813032?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item20d9031ba8
  15. Cheap,grippy,last for ages and look good ;-) http://www.modelsport.co.uk/nanda-racing-1-10-short-course-blocks-black-chrome-pair-/rc-car-products/376166
  16. According to Killer rc in the USA "The car is not actually manufactured or designed by Losi. It is a rebadged car." It does have a clone look to it but then again the KM'S are great but i feel if this true the price is way off.
  17. It looks very much like a clone model to me i cant see the usual Losi quality anywhere on it! Is this losi's attempt to sell re-branded cheap 1/5's for a fortune like HPI do with the maverick blackouts ???? Hope not !
  18. The Hong nor is the best quality and value out of the 4 by far it also comes with a good rtr engine . I'd recommend the hong nor or Kyosho inferno
  19. Do these mounts fit the hyper http://www.sriremotetoys.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=6530
  20. You could try a hyper ss ep motor mount not sure if they fit but Modelsport stock them
  21. Maybe try a sleeve pincher http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Piston-Sleeve-Pincher-Resizer-RB-S5-S7-WS7-CE-C6-C5-21-/180668860511?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a10b4085f
