Yo! I know its been a while now, but whats happend since your last update ? I'm gonna start working on my parents MGB Roadster shortly as they've left it to rust etc Be cool to see what else youve done to yours.

you shouldn't have bubbles in the fuel line, sounds to me like there's a leak in the tank or fuel line mate, replace the fuel lines first of all to see if it makes a diff But as others have said... I'd prime it by blowing down the pressure line

Aye its a genuine thing paypal / ebay do with people on under 100 feedback. However, you still shouldnt leave feedback untill you recieve the payment, under any circumstances, i sold a laptop and they did this payment hold thing, i phoned paypal and they told me it would be fine to send (I was a bit dubious about doing it tbh but its fine) How can you sell him this anyway if you've sold it on eBay ???

Its the LSN that needs slightly leaned out as its too rich at low speed and bogging the engine down. dont go mad with it just turn it 1/8th untill it can take away ok. Then start tuning the normal way.

If your new to nitro, buy one thats brand new, that way your not buying something with problems you know nothing about. You WILL spend 70% of the time fixing and adjusting settings / putting in new parts / etc etc So if you dont want to, simple answer is, dont buy a nitro ! I've had a Savage 25, Revo 2.5 and a Hyper 7, and i can 100% say that the hyper has been by far the easiest to work on, the most reliable, and the most fun. So my advice is... buy one of those, you wont be dissapointed.

try filling the hole with superglue and put the hex in, keep it in place for a good while untill it hardens. Engine screws will have threadlock, which is why its usually hard as hell to remove them, but a decent hex driver is a must.

Welcome to the world of Nitro ... I guarentee youll spend 70% fixing or preparing it for your next outing and 30% of the time running it .... if your lucky

Reason it ran away ... You adjusted the throttle trim on the handset, so its revving (false idle) applying brakes wont return the servo to the normal position so the brakes wont come on, (or very lightly if at all). Reason its hard to start ... new engine ? tight, needs the LSN leaning out 1/8th perhaps a little more as its too rich for break in. i'd ... Sit the car on blocks, turn the Idle 1/8th clockwise, turn the LSN 1/8th clockwise, prime (blow down the pressure tube) then start it but be quick on the Tx to keep the engine going. If it goes to cut out when you leave it to idle, you need to turn the idle another 1/8th

Read the Noob FAQ at the top of this section, or in my sig

Hows about trades for a PS3 80Gb with 5 games ...

Max temp - 270f - 132.2c normal 210f to 250f - 98.8c to 121.1c Minimum 200f - 93.3c Just to add ... i was out with my Hyper tonight, was getting temps on 240 - 255 after speed runs, which is great, loads of smoke. I used to run it 265+, which was a bit nippier but i'd rather loose a little speed and have the engine last longer Anyway, my servo horn has worn now so i have to wait on a new one coming

Nitro cools ?? !! and here was me thinking that's what combusted !

Damn i havnt even had time to add everyone on mine yet, with the nice weather ive been out building a shed, buying a lawn mower, mowing the grass ..... ohh im officially an old fart !!

i dont think yur priming the engine enough mate. Try taking the tube off the exhaust off and blow down it till the fuel goes through the fuel tube to the carb, then give it another small blow so that the fuel enters the carb. 2nd , try adjusting the LSN needle 1/8th clockwise to lean the LSN mix as its set far too rich which will make it harder to start. And as said above, you really need a higher %age nitro, 20% at lowest and pref 25%

Yeah i know that but what i meant was, don't buy the Virus, get a Hyper instead. IMO a much better option.

You cant do much better than a hyper 7 for value for money but they dont come as kits, its rtr (ready to race) but even still, buy one and rebuild it if your set on building a kit up Hypers ... strong and loads of spares

Live your life the way YOU want to not how people expect ! I'm 27 (today in fact) and im never gonna grow up ! not like peter pan style but, whats the point in being boring just cos thats what people expect ya to do ! Viva la RC !

So its been tuned? how much tuning have you done ? tried heating up the engine with a hair dryer? Sounds like the tuning might be off. When you try to start it doesnt it fire even slightly ? Try starting it with the throttle half open, also when you prime it open the throttle a little (i usually blow down the exhaust tube to force the fuel to the carb)

When i had my savage i stripped my diffs, do yourself a fave and buy the metal diff cups a bit better than the plastic crap. http://www.jespares.com/radio-controlled-m...ersion-set.html http://www.jespares.com/radio-controlled-m...f-case-1pc.html Im sure i used 30k wt oil too

i saw this last night and thought it was amazing ! best advert ive seen in ages ! Im almost certain that the puppet is done by computer though, no way someone did all that surely !

Well the gotnitro looks like the best idea here if you could make it from perspex or something ? Anyway what i wanna know is how you get a job like this ? I really am in the wrong line of work ! payed to play with RC cars ! with Richard Hammond !! I wonder if hammond can crash this one ... Anyway best of luck, i'll be sure to watch it, if it makes it to TV. Ohh say Hi to hammond for me ... He doesnt know me but hey ho

Any thoughts of coming down in price a bit ? no offfence but its quite high I would be be interested if it was a good bit cheaper.

I got in an truck the other night ! No idea where it was but i found a truck so jumped in, tried to hitch it up to a trailer, always bloody wanted the game to allow that but sadly it wasnt to be Anyway, i ran over someone then all of a sudden my wanted level rose up to 4 stars, so i think i got a cap popped in my ass ! Was slow as treacle anyway big n bulky ... as youd expect i spose lol

The WD-40 argument is brought up too often, along with the exhaust stinger argument and both are my pet hates ! Obviously ARO is built specifically for the job but dont dismiss WD-40 on what other people have said, its usually crap they heard from someone, who heard it from someone else once. Viva la WD-40 !! its stuff from the gods !

I am ashamed to admit it mate ! However in my defence there was a hint that there might be a promise on the cards .... at this moment in time though the debt hasnt been payed !
