  1. I know you got it in America, but over here that's a Hong Nor X1 CR. Spares and such can be had from quite a few places, such as Modelsport and JE Models. Engine looks to be a rebadged Force 26, the same one that Hot Bodies put in the Lightning Stadium Pro and Sport. As for servos, depends on your budget. If you want the best of the best and not really bothered about spending alot, go for an XP Digital DS1015 for steering and DS1313 for throttle/brake. However these, as well as the Power HD servos are digital and you'll need a 2.4Ghz radio system. Again if you want good stuff, go for Spektrum, there's quite a range, I recommend the DX3C. As for the engine cutting out when you remove your glow igniter, it could be that the plug is too cold and you need a hotter one, I've never had a problem with the OS #8. Oh and your first picture shows the engine without an air filter fitted. If you don't have one, please purchase an air filter, running your engine without one is a sure way to quickly kill your engine, again there's quite a range, if you need advice on which one to purchase, just ask. If you still use the 4 AA batteries for the receiver then another recommended upgrade is a rechargeable 6v battery pack, this is especially essential if you wish to upgrade your servos. As for the bodyshell, Modelsport sell a clear replacement that you have to paint yourself, no stock at the moment but they'll be happy to back order it for you.

  2. You were informed wrong then. 25% is more than adequate for bashing. I've never raced in my life, all my cars that had an engine larger than a 21 were run on 25% fuel. I never had a problem.

  3. Fatboy.....do you own a MTA???   Just asking as both of mine have run without a glitch for the last 2 years on 16% and 20%.  Just saying!

    Who cares whether he does or not? Of course the engine will run on 16 and 20% fuel, any engine will run on any blend of nitro fuel but it's a simple fact the engine is better suited and will run better with a nitro percentage of around 25%.

  4. I don't want to use my PC for playing games, I accept that I COULD hook it up to my TV but what's the point? I use my PC for browsing the internet and listening to music, my laptop I bought for slot car live timing and my PS3 is for gaming. I'm also aware you can use PS3 or XBOX 360 controllers for the PC but I don't care. And what do you mean it's aload of crap that you can't run the Uncharted Series or Last of Us or whatever on PC? They're PS3 exclusive games and haven't been released onto the PC.

  5. I see nothing wrong with the EB4 or any of the Thunder Tiger cars to be honest. One of the TM lads had an EB4 S3, did mega stunts with it and it kept coming back for more. They're good cars that won't break the bank. I'd love an EB4 S3 myself but gonna get an HN X3 Sabre kit to build when I have another job.

  6. Maybe because we prefer the simplicity and functionality of a games console? Not only that but to keep up with the demands of the latest graphic intense games, PCs have to be constantly upgraded and that's expensive, and having a media centre (because that's what a games console is these days) hooked up to the TV is nice too. Having netflix, lovefilm, iplayer, Youtube and a blu ray player as well as been able to play the latest games all in one neat package is really great. Not only that but you can't get the Uncharted series, The Last of Us or Beyond Two Souls for a PC. There are games that are exclusive to the Playstation series that really appeal to me.

  7. As title says, what will you be getting. As for me, after much deliberation I'm getting the PS4 as it seems to have more games that appeal to me - games with storylines and such. The Uncharted series will obviously continue onto PS4, there's a good PS3 exclusive coming out soon called Beyond Two Souls and if that has a sequel it will be on the PS4 and if The Last Of Us (which I am still to purchase) has a sequel, then again it will be on the PS4 as it's a PS3 exclusive game. That and I've had Sony consoles since the Playstation was released and see no reason to change now. I have had an XBOX 360 and a Wii and simply prefer the PS3, so I'm sure I'll love the PS4. Not only that but it's
