  1. Tbh, i wouldn't worry about using a fuel filter. They are more trouble than they're worth and can cause all sorts of problems as regards lean fuel mixtures. Just be careful not to get dirt in your fuel and everything will be fine. If you really do want to put the fuel filter in then add a little extra fuel line and stick it in between the fuel tank and the engine, about half-way. Brad
  2. Hi all, its been a while since i posted on this forum and raced buggies. But work and a few other things got in the way of that, so i left it for a while and now my old cars engine has siezed up, but i'm looking to get back into bashing. I remember having my eye on the old Hyper 7, is this still a dicent basher? I need something thats going to take a beating, and doesnt need running every weekend. I still have a starting box that i think works, and some old fuel, (about 2years) Any help would be good Cheers Brad
  3. could i surgest unscrewing your glow plug a 1/4 turn to reduce compression and then doing it up as soon as its running. Sounds kinda cool, a reverse engine.

    Help

    Yer it could be the one way cluch or its all the wrong way around
  5. Engine pressure should be atleast above about 30psi (depending on the engine) so u shouldn't be able to blow air out of your engine But as said
  6. It does this when the engine is not on! and nothing is moving
  7. Quick Guide to starting car Turn on your transmitter Turn on reciver Put glow plug heater on Pull pullstart (quick short pulls) Turning it off Many ways to turn of engine: Put your foot on flywheel is my favourite but you can also cover the Air filter, block the exhaust, pinch fuel line Then turn off reciver Turn off transmitter
  8. you can test whether the glow plug or the glow heater is working by taking out the plug and putting it in the heater. If it glows then everythings fine If it glows for a short time and then goes out then the batteries are flat on the heater If it dosent glow at all then the plug might be blown always carry a few plugs around to test em, and then the fun wont be cut short NP BRad
  9. Thanks guys, i'll reply again when ive tested it
  10. Ok, my car's been in pieces for about 3 months now as i find more and more things go wrong and i order new parts. But the servo's still twitch (1 is new the other is used) when i earth any metal part on the car. I know this i a sign of servo ware but is there anything else it could be BTW: i tryed a new high torque servo (14kg/cm) with the other new standard servo and both of them worked fine but when i used the high torque servo the standard servo twitched violently? Thx again BRad
  11. When i looked on that site it said that 970597 people have already signed which beats the 750000 sig's that u surgested But i agree with others, this box is gunna be attached to people's cat's and dog's rofl
  12. What happens when it wont turn around or come out Fixed it all Now No worries. thx guys
