  4. Have you looked at the xray t2r which is said to be the fully fledges 007 misus the carbon fibre chassis and has twin diffs. The car is supposed to be spot on for people starting out in racing as it is easier to get goin by having two diffs and you get the quality of xray.

    With a price tag ranging from high £120's to £160 this car will be cheaper and have higher build quality than the others at the price range leaving more money for better motor esc etc

    only problem they seem to be hard to get hold of but could be worth waiting for :)

    heres a link for more detail - xray

  5. your best finding someone with a proper tyre truer to get them perfectly straight, otherwise as me and my dad used to do glue some sandpaper to a board and run the car up to speed and gently rest the tyres on the sandpaper wearing them down. This is a very messy process and you need to try and get them as true as prssible and hopefully the same diameter.

  6. i got bought a hara twister 2.1 a while ago now and the new one has come out. i was wondering whether anyone knows if you can send it to be upgraded to the new 2.2 spec as will mostly be the programming probably which is the difference.

    do you know someone whos done it or know how to?

  7. i have this engine for my hong nor buggy it is an excellent engine and you wont find one better for the money!

    they are extremely tight when you first get it and seem to hold a tune well

    highly recommended!

  8. First thing to do is to wash the shell in warm soapy water to get rid of any dirt, then dry it trying not to leave any dust or dirt behind.

    Mask of the areas that are going to be the lightest colour first, so it is ready to paint the darkest colour. i always get some lighter fluid or motor spray at this point to get rid of and glue from masking tape and fingerprints left whilst masking off.

    Next you need to get the paint ready, only use paint made for poly carbonate bodies. i like to use the tamiya spray cans as they fit nicely in the hand not being too big and they have a large range of colours.

    Before i start spraying i run some hot water in the sink or something and put the spray can in to warm up the paint, this supposably makes it flow better. Now you are ready to spray, so in a well ventilated space spray a very thin layer of paint down first so it just looks like dust and let it dry totally. then slowly add thin layers until you think it is the right depth of colour. it is important not to rush as thick layers will cause it to flake off.

    Once this colour is done you can peel off the masking and repeat the steps to paint the lighter colour/s over the top.

    After the paint job is complete i leave the shell to dry completely for a day before cutting it out making sure all the edges are smoothed out using sand paper otherwise this can cause the paint to chip off around them areas.

    hope this helps
