  1. righto, thanks guys, much appreciate your help. did a bit of vacuum forming at school - hopefully Uni have one to use.
  2. hi everyone, im currently part of a team manufacturing from scratch a rocket car which will be roughly 450mm long, and have a weight limit of 500g minimum. as part of the aerodynamics we are having fairings / a bodyshell to cover the wheels etc.. having thought about carbon fibre and fibreglass, im just wondering whether i could make a bodyshell using lexan like an rc car shell. it would be lightweight and as its not structural it can be flexy to absorb any potential impacts with a fence or somebodys foot! has anybody made a bodyshell before? im looking at this lexan : http://www.jemodels.com/nitro-models?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=7066&category_id=222 or can i get some from somewhere else in a greater quantity (ebay).? any help appreciated. thanks
  3. as above really, want to replace a couple of tips just wondering if the HUDY ones will work with the fastrax team tools thanks
  4. if you now have a gap in the carb of around 1.5mm on idle, and its still stalling - its either got a dragging clutch, too rich on the low speed needle, or a dud glow plug. my guess would be a dragging clutch -do the wheels spin on idle if you lift the car off the ground? - if so its the clutch
  5. yay or nay? i beleive its similar / same as acetone but want to make sure! thanks
  6. threadlock should be used on the engine mount screws, and only a small amount on the clutch bell - if it gets stuck you will be in trouble!
  7. the best sealant for nitro engines is the black RTV sealant, can get it from machine mart. works a treat. i was told to use it when i had a similar issue and its the best stuff http://www.machinema...tails/051110157

  12. hi all, im thinking of getting a new radio because my current one seems to have poor range / looses signal too often, which is costing me when racing - (often just have to pull out of the race in fear of crashing into somebody uncontrollably) so i have been offered a Dx3C, a lot of the guys i race with use spekky but the dx3r and dx3s which are rather pricey for me. just wondering are they any good, and will i end up experiencing similar range problems, what other radio should i consider, max

  14. 'sway bar' is what the americans call anti roll bars, as the name suggests it resists roll of the car through corners, effectively connecting the two sides of the car, limiting the amount of suspension travel when the weight transfers to one side through corners. worth having
  15. im selling these wheels / tyres because i have no use for them, but im sure someone will! they are Medial pro tarmac II wheels and tyre. plenty of tread on them, look like they have been used for about 10 minutes. wheels in excellent condition
