yes that makes perfect sense. Thanks. I will have another look tomorrow before work.

Yes it has a servo saver, what should i be checking for? just that its moving freely and clear of muck?

Its a Thunder tiger tomahawk VX. It happens when in the air and on the ground. I have rolled it a few times but have checked the car over and as far as i can see there is absolutely nothing visibly wrong with the car. Its the standard servo. I have already removed the horn and rest everything twice so i am guessing its a faulty servo. I have a spare couple so i will have to swap it over and see if there is any difference. It does drive straight but constantly needs a small amount of steering input to keep it straight.

Does any one have a clue as to why my steering doesn't return to zero? What i mean by this is regardless of trim settings or where i set the steering arm on the servo, if i turn left and release the wheel the wheels return OK but don't sit dead straight, they are maybe 10 - 20% out still turning to the left. If i dial that out with the trim on the tx then i get the same issue when i turn right. do i have to settle for a bit out on both side? or is it a set-up thing with suspension? Many thanks Dan.

Shaft driven.

awesome, Thanks for the advise! its been nearly two months since i ran it as i have been waiting on new spur gear to arrive so i cant wait!

I have some tyres which are very, very similar to those, ill post a pick if i can get my phone working properly. I will try and stay nearer to the dryer edge where its still compacted but less wet, there are a few beach near by i can use that are pretty quiet.

Has any one tried bashing a TC on sand? I don't mean the soft sandy sand.... I mean the hard compacted stuff you get after the sea goes back out? I am going to my parents for a couple of days and my dad and brother want to see the car in action. unfortunatly there is no where during the day clear enough to run it, and no where in the evening that is lit well enough. So this was the only option i could think of, i have some mud/gravel type tyres, and will have access to an air compressor afterwards to clean the car up, but just wondered if any one has done this and if it was a success or not? Many thanks, Dan.

Thanks for all the info, its the blue onodized chassis, but the shocks are not the originals. I will post pics in a day or two but the video will be a little while away yet as i still need a driveshaft, wheel nuts and washers and the rod that connects the throttle and servo. it will be good to get it running as i currently have 3 cars now, two nitro touring and an electric short course truck. None of which work as im waiting for parts to arrive or pay day to order parts for them. The kyosho used to be a mates, he said it was pretty rapid when he ran it but the bearing upgrade will be a must in the future. Thanks.

OK, so, first of all, my apologies for begging for help and then dissapearing, work picked up quick and as i work away from home it can be a bit difficult to access a computer. Secondly the car is actualy a 3 and not a 4 as i first thought, sorry again for the confusion. And Thirdly, after having a fresh look at the car and all the parts, i DO actualy have all the nessesary parts for a working clutch! Thanks to everyone for all there help, i promise to look a bit more carefully in future. Thanks again, Danzul90

IT might be my poor memory then . more likely a 3 in that case, sorry, its definatly the gx15 engine though. sorry i have not posted the picture up yet, i have ended up working late the last few nights so will sort it out over the weekend. As well as clarify the model. Thanks. Danzul90

I will take a picture tonight as that will explain better than i can. Lol Thanks, Danzul90

Thanks for that, looking at the first link i think i might have all the parts. (I will check in the morning) However i am still not sure on how to fit it. There are about 3 options as to where the clutch sits against the engine. If that makes sense?

Hey folks. I wonder if some one can help me, i appreciate this is a pretty old car now but i have been given a box full of bits for one including the manual. I have built it all up and got the engine running, but i think i may have a part of the clutch missing. does any one know how many parts there are to the clutch and/ or how it fits together correctly? The manual suggests that the engine is supplied with the clutch already fitted so isn't much help. and a quick Google search didn't help either. Many thanks, Danzul90

Cheers mate its working fine now. And im pretty confident at soldering so the connectors should be no issue. Thanks again.

Thanks for both replies. Extremely helpfull. I think to start with i shall go for tje option suggested by Si Coe For now with a view to going with Alex97 in the future. Unfortunatly the last link in your post SI COE takes me to the main screen. Maybe you can send it to me again. Thanks again and Merry Christmas. Danzul90

Hi folks, I hope some one can help me out here. My wife today bought me a Maverick Strada Evo sc. I charged it up and took it out with excitement as I was looking into getting something electric and more suited to big jumps. The battery lasted no more than 5 minutes. I am assuming this is due to being new and just needs cycling a few times? More importantly at the moment however is this. ITS JUST NOT QUICK ENOUGH!!!! Now I don't know much about electrics but the info on the box says it is a 540 motor... this does about 25 mph but I am more used to my nitro touring car which goes a hell of a lot faster. I would like to change the motor for something with more grunt and speed! I had a look on MS but the motor specs are listed 2000kv to 9000kv. so does that mean my current motor is far too small to be listed or am I missing something? does changing the motor mean I need to do the ESC as well? I don't have a very big budget but would need something quicker. If I change the motor rather than change the car it should save my wifes feelings... it was a much thought about present after all. Many thanks, and sorry for the essay lol. Danzul90

That's fine, the total comes to just 93p less that the voucher total lol. If no one else can help me tonight i shall call them tomorrow, i would prefer to do it online though as there are things on offer that might not be tomorrow lol. Thanks Danzul90

Any one know how to spend gift vouchers on the modelsport website? I have entered the codes and clicked validate put the cost stays the same and the page doesn't seem to update or refresh? Many thanks. Danzul90

Increadibly i am still using the original plug in the engine! Thanks to my youngest (he has just turned 2) i am now down to only the one glowstarter! I tried a different exhaust today but it just robbed me of all the top end and also a small amount of low end grunt:(

We found the old engine yesterday in the back of a cupboard but couldn't get it to fire, i will have a better look at it over the next few days, if it is dead then i will definitely go for electric power, i like a challenge, easy or hard. But i am sure i will end up needing some sort of advise or more likely help! lol

Mine seems to be an absolute arse! for the last week its been run on 4 different occasions, in different temperature environments and its been spot on nearly every time its run, at worst needing a very very minor tune. today it ran but was lumpy this morning. this afternoon it wouldn't start at all leaving me with two flat glow starters:(

Yes, all sorted and having loads of fun. Thank you for every ones help! Just need new apur gear now andvto get my head round tuning properly. How often should i realisticaly need to tune the engine? I seem to need to do it nwarly every tank full sone days.u

Ok then i shall use this method once the new parts arrive. Thanks guys!

Super thanks, so in general the only 'parts i would need for the conversion would be the battery and motor then? Danzul90
