Just took the spark plug out, was a bit black, changed it anyway but still not tested engine out Was a little bit of oil around head gasket area but couldn't tell if it had come from inside the engine, wiped it clean and will keep it next time. Going to check breather now...
-
Finally had a decent run with my Marder and all went really well, except when i slowed down to a stop, the engine cuts out and won't restart. Kept pulling the pull start and engine sounded like it was about to start but cut out straight away, the only way i could get it to run again was to try and hold the throttle on whilst starting it, which didn't go well
-
I just started using this set on my marder and everything was going too far, had to reduce the steering and throttle back to 80% on the EPA. Am sure it goes past 100% though have you tried that?

Put some stickers on it

are they hpi wheels? do they fit straight on a marder?

I could've made it in the end with my marder, got it all up and running, was a lot easier than i thought.

Just ordered the Core RC 3 Channel stick one and the Killer super bee with buzzer and LED, ended up spending a bit more than i had planned to but should be worth it.

Fixed it for now with zip ties. Yay. Lost the metal spacer though.

It's just the thread on the top of hub. Fixed it for now but will do it properly. Going to order a radio set and some other bits. Quickly adds up. Liking it though.

Literally the first turn i made, in front of some kids who were playing basketball, they must of thought it was crap.

Is it possible to get a suitable 2.4ghz radio and receiver with a killswitch for

Just wondering what i should be doing after each use of my Marder. Its getting really muddy each use. I plan to buy a few bits for it, like oils and cleaning stuff, is there a basic guide of what i should be doing? What's after-run oil?
