  1. Bearing removal tool for nitro, if you have the above or similar tool drop me a message
  2. i sprayed WD40 2 days ago into my rc crawler motor as it had crust of dirt and dried up mud, i left the car dribbling for 2 days and today finally the car started to move as it had life now. When i pull the trigger i can sometimes see sparks and flames in the brushed 35t motor and bit of smoke which got me worried, would this be caused from the wd 40 which had been sprayed?

      For the cost of a brushed motor, just replace it? Once it's smoking, there's not really any going back.

      WD40 really has no business being in a brushed motor, for future reference. It doesn't clean up mud etc any more than pressured water. What it does do is leave behind oily residue that dirt loves to stick to. 

       

      If you wanna spray something into your can, use something like electrical contact cleaner. 

       

      If i were you i'd get a can (Halfords, around £4 if i recall correctly), flush the motor out with it (you need to get rid of the "oil"), and cross your fingers. 

       

      Just note that you need to lubricate bearings afterwards, if applicable.

  3. I've had a Hyper St Pro truggy, a good bomb proof truggy it is but its on the heavier side and the rear use to always squat on a 21 and 28 engine I had in it all that time . If I had a Hyper St Pro now I would of probably convert it to a brushless electric system and simply get another truggy or buggy out there. I've recently been hooked on to Kyoshos' I just love the quality which goes into them.

  5. thanks for sharing your experience with it. I guess that it's not so bulky then and looks and seems compact?
  6. Hello all, as the title says, can anyone recommend an air compressor.? it needs to be kind of portable and power enough to clean the hell out of my RCs and not break the bank card. let me know what you guys use in your man caves!!
  7. all the 1/6th and 1/7th scales out from HH
  8. thanks my man, looks good plus its water proof i will solder my deans on to it 😉
  9. its a stock brushed Kyosho motor in the truck https://rc.kyosho.com/en/34361t2.html#catalog-product-description-additional
  10. thanks, would a brushless setup on 2s lipo be compatible with my stock brushed Kyosho motor?
  11. When the switch is set to off the motor does start to spin, now the switch does turn the esc on and off as it has a blinking led to it. I reckon the throttle for esc is toast although the steering works perfectly fine. Any cheap 2s capable lipo ESC suggestions as this truck does sprint on 2s lipo being it rear wheel drive too?
  12. I took out my Kyosho Rampage truck yesterday, turned the transmitter on plugged in the lipo, it started to run away. I tried to get it working this evening but it did the same thing. it spins on full throttle when it should just stay in neutral, I had a look at the receiver and there's no solid led or sign of life when the lipo is plugged in. behaviour like this does it indicate there there's a shortage somewhere as the the truck wheels just spin constantly even when the on/off switch is off?
  13. @James RCthe seed had been planted into you!
  14. keep it mate and enjoy your nitro!!! fire it up now and then for a bit of nostalgia remembrance or if your like me then fire it up for a bit say for half an hour and enjoy hearing the nitro sound down your local retail carpark, enjoy the nitro sound and inhale the lovely smell it produces!
