HI everybody im new this is my 1st post of many i think , im an absolute novice but i want to get into rc racing and bashing,
to cut a long story short i bought a atomic warhead 2nd hand (like a said newbie) had it now for 2 wks 1st time could not start it at all its fitted with a roto-start and the bearing was slipping so stripped it out cleaned and replaced at least it was turning the engine but still wouldnt start ,
i contacted the seller and he advised me to put a few drops of nitro straight into head and it will fire, then which it did, then drop some into the carb and she will run!!, BIG mistake it started and shot off full throttle and right into a rock!!! the rock won damaging the car to such an extent that the clutch bell split seperating the cogs,
a wk later new parts fitted and complete with housebrick for a platform ready to start it again..... roto-start bearing began slipping yet again , stripped out again excessive fuel/oil over engine shaft? cleaned and replaced.
following day at last i got it running omg very very fast but needed alot of tweaking as it was running to lean and engine started to cut out, had the manual over adjusted it slightly so that it was choking a little on throttle but at least the engine would be ok,
after 30 mins of running cornered a bit hard flipping over the said car and damaging the steering servo!!!!,
towel now thrown in lesson learnt,
im now waiting on a delivery of a hyper 7 21 sport researched and been told best option for me?
only prob is no transmitter with hyper but there is reciever no crystal tho...... so
1.. can i use transmitter from warhead kyosho perflex 27mhz
2.. if so is it just the case of taking out crystal from reciever in warhead or the whole reciever transfer
3.. whats the diff between am and fm (lms said certain freqencies are illegal to use here is it am or fm
4.. and lastly should i just take up another hobby instead?
many thanx for your help
