Front & rear suspension, axles & steering fitted...........

Front & rear gearboxes greased & fitted.............New gears fitted, along with disc brake & centre drive shafts.............

Winter is over & the car is out of hibernation.........Repainted chassis, new shock & diff oil & ready to be re-assembled.................(minus the dog)

Hmmmmm....That would fit mine perfectly & I am looking for a new shell, but it's a bit scuffed up for me & I'd need to alter it slightly ..........

I've owned this from new & it still runs as good as it did 16-17 years ago.....I spent most of last year hunting down spares from all over the world & have now managed to accumulate enough to back up every part of the car, including an identical new spare engine & chassis......I have even tracked down someone with the exact same shell, brand new, which I will take delivery of in the new year....This car has given me many years of pleasure & is still running the original engine.......The only modifications I've made, are a performance exhaust, new hard springs & extra sets of tyres, including 2 x sets of full slicks......It sat on a shelf for 7 years, until I stripped it, lubricated it & got it back on the road again last year, which is when these photos were taken......I've now stripped it down totally & put it away for winter & will clean, lubricate & spray paint the chassis again, ready for spring.....I'm really proud of this car............

P.m'd re. servo..............

This should help................. http://www.ofna.com/pdf/eng-hyper21.pdf

Yes.......I believe it needs to be flush

I just cut the spare cable hole off using scissors...It'll fit a normal charger then

I've bought a batch of inner & outer air filter foams for my car, but they don't fit the housing I have......Before I order a new one, I was wondering if anyone has a spare housing laying around, that they may not need, that I can buy. Thanks.

E-bay = 9 x inner & outer filters for

That's perfect......Just what I wanted..............Thank you.

It's these that I've seen on e-bay.........I want the inner & outers & they seem a good deal at that price. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161250115238?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&var=460292064903&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

It's actually them that are advertising them on flea bay.......................

Yes..........I've e-mailed them, but haven't received a reply as yet....was hoping maybe someone on the forum could help.....Thanks for the reply though.

The inner air filter foam on my car measures L-42mm, Diam-38mm, Inner hole diam-15mm.....Can someone tell me the measurements of the filters for a Losi 8ight please, as I think they may also fit & I can buy a batch of them with outer filters. The housing I have is brand new, so I don't need that part....Thanks.

I've just had the exact same problem......Two of the head screws just spin & it does seem that the thread holes in the block are shot......They are 3mm screws, so I've bought some 4mm & will drill & tap new holes...As a quick fix, I've wrapped the screw threads in PTFE tape & it's done the trick.

Just a thought, but I had a similar problem & discovered that the springs themselves weren't the right shape......The smaller end that clicks into place over the nut was bent round too far, so it wouldn't slot in no matter how hard I tried......I ended up buying 1mm springs which then fitted perfectly.........

I had a similar problem once......i found it to be fuel starvation...........remove the fuel line that goes into the carb......Undo the carb nozzle & remove.............Check the holes are lined up with the nozzle & the the jet.........while it's apart, give both bits a soak in petril/nitro & give them a good blow through the holes........it cured my problem..........

Thanks Gavin.............I got impatient & ordered it last night anyway............lol

The internal threading where the glow plug screws in has worn on my button head & I need to replace it....I've seen this one in the link below & asked if it will fit my engine.....They don't stock Ofna engines but have said they "think" this will fit, but can anyone confirm that it will please? http://www.modelsport.co.uk/force-head-button-force-.21/rc-car-products/19027

I was going to suggest this too, regarding his throttle problem.................

I fitted one of these............problem solved............. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RC-1-8-Nitro-Silicone-Exhaust-Deflector-Tube-Pipe-Y-/200420684060?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item2eaa00f11c

That's normally down to incorrect alighnment I'd say........
