  1. Evening! I was just wondering what people thought of the Asiatees aluminum parts? I have just snapped a C-hub on my Savage 21 and always said that I will upgrade anything I break.. I don't want to go buying their aluminum stock and be receiving something sub par. I'm looking at 2 pairs of C-hubs and a blue chassis, they seem very 'reasonable', which gives me my doubts. Also looking at a sway bar - http://www.asiatees.com/display.php?id=25967&brand=HPI&model=Savage%2021 - from there but I believe they come with no instructions whatsoever.. Has anybody any experience fitting one? And how difficult/straight forwards is it? Thanks in Advance, Orrin.
  2. He owes me money.. That's how it works there.. I will really only go for fuel, on a Tuesday because for some reason it's a fiver cheaper - Or is that when he's stoned? I don't really know!
  3. What a shame about this whole scenario, for both the owners of the store and local hobbyists.

  5. I normally hate selective colouring but I really like that of the guy sat on the mountain. I've been shooting with film recently, for a change.. just fancied it. I'll post some results up later on
  6. I'm pretty sure it's the same car apart from a different chassis layout and a larger engine.. At the end of the day, you'll not get many replies to a WIW thread, people just don't have an answer for it. Something, whatever it is, is only worth what somebody will pay for it Put it on Ebay, 99p no reserve, you'll get what it's worth. Alternatively, put it up at what you would like for it and give buyers the 'best offer' option.
  7. I just bought a 3 EVO with a spare chassis and 3 shells, a toolkit, fuel, loads of wheels, tyres, rotostart and transmitters for
  8. I've managed to get this all back together now and I'm happy again.. one thing though.. is 2nd gear supposed to spin freely? I assume it works in the sense that at a certain velocity, the 2nd clutch engages?
  9. cheers guys! Must make a cheeky punt on this that my friend has then
  10. I suppose it really could be anything.. I judt wondered if there was an underlying fault with a certain part or a known issue It's definitly not been burned on, it's still very watery (if that's the word I should use). I'm right to think that spent fuel is more oily than when not?
  11. Hi fellas.. Whenever I use my Rascal, I have a blast, no doubt but.. when we are set to go home I have to put it in a bag or something because the whole thing is caked in fuel.. I'm not sure if I've got a leak from somewhere or not but it really is absolutely caked. There looks to be a little bit coming out of where the one way bearing sits (I just use a 14mm in a drill with the bearing in), but I wouldn't say enough to cause the mess I am faced with. Is there anything I should know about? Also, pretty much all the screws that hold the engine in underneath have worked loose at some point.. I have taken them out now and replaced them with some Stainless steel pan heads from the shed and they are working a treat, so far.. If I'm honest, I think it's put together pretty shoddily but.. that's just my opinion. Cheers, Orrin.
  12. When you say the car jerks forwards and stalls, is that as you are starting it or once it's started? Either way, it sounds like your idle has been set WAY too high, and your clutch shoes have welded to the bell housing.
  13. Looks spot on, and if it works well.. what a bonus! Out of interest, what did you pay for it (PM me if you'd rater not say publicly). I've just been told to 'make an offer' on one by a friend of mine, and don't want to go in too high :good:or too low ... He says he used it 3 times after run in.. so at a guess it's probably only had a litre of nitro through it
  14. If that'll work, then it's worth a try! I shall call them in the morning! Cheers
