The walbro WT-997 is just a WT-668 i believe.

i got the exploded view but no manual that i can recall, but yes i didnt think of looking at that first, have only ever used it for part numbers when i needed a new part.

Thanks for that snippet of info there Nitro, will DL that tomorrow and print it off at work.

I only knew that cos i had to strip the rear hub lastnight as i snapped one of the parts in a roll, had to hammer the pin out with a drift. stopped for 5 minutes while i had a smoke. While i was doing that i gave all the parts a good inspection and noticed the allen bolt, was much easier getting the pin back in after that!! haha

If you have a look down the end of the outer drive there 'should' be an allen bolt. you assemble everything, put the pin through and then tighten that allen bolt up. That stops the pin from falling out.

Where is this location? if its not to far from me and i can get the time i might pop along.

These 'common' approaches would make the world a better place to live let alone bash, but so many people have absolutely none, even worse some CHOOSE to have none which is a complete disgrace. It is amazing how much respect one gets having these, prime EG was last night, a dog walker was in the area so we brought the cars back to us and stopped running around until they passed. Started running again when they got to the edge of the field. they then stopped and watch for a while and then went off. A little while latter they come back and right up to us, we thought he was gunna have a moan and ask us to move on. quite the opposite, he said how nice it was that we stopped our cars when he come along and that it was a nice change to see people up here with a 'proper' hobby and not tearing the land up on crossers and making a nuisance. Stood there for around half an hour talking about the cars.

Hell Yeah, love that. I would be interested in a Baja one. Cant think of anything better than a shell on it of my favorite car

Yeah, leave it off haha I basically run mine like you can see yours in the picture, mainly because i couldnt be arsed keep taking it off and back on again each time i gave it a clean. That will all change once i have added some more fiberglass layers to the inside of my Grafil body as i find it a little to thin, and then fabricate a base for it and then everything will be completely enclosed

Covers you in public as well, one of the main reasons that i got my membership. Quoted from their handbook that can be found online;

just underneath the bit that say 'walbro' and next to the fuel out there should be some number stamped. see the image below for example.

Hi Mate, do you have the walbro carbs left? if so what models are they, im after a genuine 668 to replace my copy one. Or a 990/813 If you have what would you be look at for one of them?

Opened, and now closed down i believe. google maps/earth is well out of date for the North east of the uk. There is a bypass around my village the was completed 5-6 years ago.....yet google still shows its as in construction!! use yahoo maps, much more up to date

well i have a place near me that's pretty good, kind of a muddy shale even in this weather is pretty dry. been trying to find some parking close to this area for a while and finally found some when i checked on yahoo maps thats around 100-200 yards away so spent a few hours down there and had a blast. looks like its used by some lads on crossers too as there a knobbly tire tracks everywhere and i can see why as there is some awesome jumps in this area and its a nice surface. perfect for a large scale RC https://uk.maps.yahoo.com/place/?lat=55.04021473326989&lon=-1.5221750736236572&t=h&bb=55.04176083%2C-1.52626544%2C55.03867165%2C-1.5180847&addr=Newcastle%20upon%20Tyne The bank up to the A186 also has a small flat bit on it so you can stand up there and look down on the cars, bit like whats at the grassy field on the seafront at tynemouth. would love to try and mark out a proper track, its just waste land so no one would give a toss. its not a patch on steetley quarry but its also not a mission of a drive to get too

So is NEB dead then? or will it pick up as the weather gets better?

looks like you are having fun mate! where is that field and wasteland? i dont recognise it!

Damn i wish i had the money, well, i have but i think the OH would cut my off if i bought this, concidering how much i have already spent on RC stuff the last 2 month so have a bump instead!

Are all these 1/8th wheels and tires?

Well finished my brushless U/G and thought id share the pics of the job, as you will see form the pics a little moding was required and it is also running on a 3s lipo that fits perfectly in The whole lot fits in so snug that there is no issues getting the body on. you can see the modification needed in this side shot; Wires tidied up; Wires moved outo the way so you can see the electronic positioning; 3s lipo sitting snug i would almost say that its too fast but the grin on my face everytime i take it out says otherwise, it impossible to pin the throttle from standstill as it just spins, pinning its from 1/4 throttle makes it flip. give it a good increase from 1/3 to full and its the otherside of our local supermarket carpark in less than second (a fare distance) and its twitchy as hell in the process! Guess i need to set the shocks up now but to be frank the standard ones are poo. dont really want to go for the Colt upgraded shocks as id like a little adjustability, so looking at other options.

doing a quick search i found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb_7iQOKdzM#t=436 dont know if this helps, iv only just got into RC and i only have a little ftx colt, but i would concider buying one off his review.

well so far i have got alu front CVDs, alu front steering knuckles and uprights, carbon shock mount. basically anything upfont that would be suject to high stress during an impact I woulnt say that you would NEED to upgrade them but i would certainly recomend placing an order for some spare parts now, as it will take their time for shopatron to get them to you. i placed my order for the front CVD and carbon shock mount last sunday and i still dont have them. I have a feeling that no mater where you order them from they will be coming via shopatron, and if you do a google search on them they dont exactly have a good replutaion for delivery speed

Iv always had a rule where distance buying and paypal is concerned, if its something i REALLY want and the seller wants a gift, ill pay the fees, if they are still not interested then ill keep my pennies!! simple as and him sending tha payment back was not honesty, its was his play in gaining trust. he knows that that money could have been returned under a dispute. However if you think he is good enough to send it back then you are more likley to send the 'gift' deposit because you now 'trust' him due to his honesty
