  1. Why do you have a 2600mAh battery if its a nitro? Also, Losi are American, they use imperial screws so you might need extra tools!
  2. Fly Sky receivers have a built in failsafe.
  3. Change the title mate... Its 360 like you said, not 380. Some manuals mean 180 turns.
  4. What?! Firstly, you mean grip not traction: traction is the friction during braking/accelerating. (low tracrion=tyre smoke when you gun it in a real car). Secondly, having the car roll REDUCES grip!! A high RH makes the center of gravity higher, meaning the gee force encountered in a turn is directed more upwards than usual. This means the car will be pulled up and away from the inside therefore it will roll and loose downforce (affecting grip and traction) and the inside wheels will have much less downforce than the outside- meaning that you loose drive power to that side of the car, not even including what happens because of the diff- most of the power goes to be wasted in the less stressed wheels with little or no traction- to the inside! This is why anti-roll bars were invented! Along with chamber (which adds to tyre-road surface area during a turn, but sacrifices traction on straights)
  5. You try- set your RH as high as possible, set your steering to the highest sensitivity, and do a high speed pass... Then do a max turn: YOUR. CAR. WILL. FLIP. Unless it's very slow. The trick is to set the RH low, just enough to clear the surface (inc. grass; it slows you down!) And do a high speed turn, then set your DR on your tx so that you can't flip over easliy. If you've got good control and can feel the car, I advise raising the DR, but adding negative expo.
  6. Then clearly there is another factor involved. You could have low E/P set on your tx, or low ch1 DR. This means that the wheels wont turn as much. Also, if you've been playing with the diff oils then you could change the turn angle. Lower rear ride height causes understeer, as does toe in on the front tyres. There are a lot of factors to the size of your turning circle.
  7. It happened to me too, but into a bush... I turned the tx off too- i thought it would trigger the failsafe, qhich it did, but the brake disk was slipping on the drive shaft so the brakes worked but they were not attached to the drive. Check your brake disk, after that i went through another disk because of aggressive braking, so buy a couple of brake sets. I recommend freeprawn racing as they actually stock ftx parta unlike MS.
  8. You are wrong, there is absolutely no need for more ground clearance on that surface. The rule for right height is to be as low as possible- it improves grip, and reduces roll. Therefore you can make tighter turns. However if there are rocks or other things that make the ground very uneven, then you need to get a bit of ground clearance to prevent damage or slowing down. For example, in F1 you can sometimes see sparks from under the car because the under-chassis scrapes against the track. The engineers wanted the best possible ride height.
  9. The lack of wing mirrors spoils this shell so much! They could add an extra
  10. Flysky GT3C (or GT3B if you want a cheaper option, but 3B has 8 AA's instead of a Li-po) I have the silver version, orange looks horrible.
  11. I'm just thinking of making a RC FPV submarine, seems expensive though, and there are some tricky parts like pressure and ballast...

      parts are easy to get nowdays. i was going to to get the TT one but prices on a used one are silly.

  12. 90% humidity in the garage! my workdesk has gone mouldy from underneath!!! EVACUATE ALL HOBBY EQUIPMENT!

      ....like our shed and workshop; nowt of any value is in one, and the other is empty ;)

      yeah my garage is the same :(

  13. URRGGGH 16 days left!! I wish humans could hibernate

    1. (-:AD:-)

      (-:AD:-)

      Arrrrrrrrrrgh im annoyed by the woman in the house

    2. Gaz!

      Gaz!

      Guess you don't have kids.....

  14. The humidity in my garage is 90%. That means the mixture needs to be easier to ignite- leaner. But other factors mean it needs to be rich. Here is the problem.
  15. The problem is when you find that the fuel flow is bad, so you richen it: then it becomes too rich. Then you lean it out and it just wont start. These environmentalists should pay large fines for cooling to earth too much by fighting global warming!
  16. I had my carnage for almost a year now, and in the beginning it was running horribly. I learned a lot about engines and thought that tying an old sock stretched out over the exhaust would increase the pressure in the exhaust fuel line- therefore increase fuel flow. It did for a while, and I ran my first few tanks like this. I believe it is due to the cold weather that the engine system is playing up, tuning is also very difficult in these conditions as the engine does not run normally even at optimum mixture setting- you will mistake it for being rich with low fuel flow.
  17. Glow plug? Throttle servo? Are you sure it is the engine?
  18. Do you mean re-bind it to the receiver? or have you mucked up the settings?
  19. No, because it holds the clutch. What sort of wobbly is it?
