  1. URGENT! I am currently trying to break in my AR-21 engine, 20% fuel, throttle all way closed and air filter on etc etc. Except it keeps revving up on it's own with out the throttle moving a hairs width? Any ideas?

      It was probably more to wards the 1mm side of things, I have tried turning the idle screw down to no avail. When all the wheels are off the ground it justs begins to rev up like it's on full throttle. I'll try the low speed needle now thanks

      Yeah it was the low speed needle, as soon as I fired it up after I had changed it it was sounding 100 times better too haha. Thank you so much :D

  3. What type screw holds the engine to the chassis on the hyper 7 PBS? Thanks

  4. Anyone know a good place to get pre cut but unpainted bodies from? Looking for a Hyper 7 one and I can't be arsed to cut it out xD

      The only one I know of is hyper star from rc will power. Ebay Asia.  Plenty of precut painted ones. 

       

      Cutting them out is fast and easy if you use lexan scissors. Scalpel and sand block/paper or drum.  There's always a messed up bit tho lol.

      Thank you lol. I just don't want to risk proper messing it up lol 

  5. Anyone know a good place to get classic amps reconditioned? I've got a Technics SU-V570 PXS cap that could do with bringing into 2016 with new electronics inside lol

      The hum  it could be the dust so remove it all. Any fuse remove it and clean the contacts on them and on the board. also unplug everything you can. Do that a few times.  if it still hums then it might be the power caps. They ar not hard to replace really    but getting hold of some could be the issue.

      I think getting another one in better condition is going to be quite very very hard haha. These things don't pop up everyday in the physical condition its in haha. 

       

      I'll so some research about them it could even be something like a leaky transistor or even just the gains need adjusting for each out put. So many possibilities lol

      try to fix whatever you can before paying for it to be fixed  as they might charge by the hour.  just don't take it to dixons or some place like it.  lol

      HVAC is a great career and you can earn some very good money if you get qualified up.

      Very good money! Enjoy it... 

      I'm currently an apprentice, gone from working 6/7 day weeks on a good overtime rate to working 5 days a week, not getting paid for college and as of yet no overtime. Been promised price work since I started with them in August but had nothing. Wish my old company didn't go bust!

      I agree with Tamiya on this one, set youself some sort of savings up. I put a little away each week, about 5 quid of my 60 I think and increased it as I went. Im looking good to retire when I hit 60 now and notice no real income drop.

      I'm also an Apprentice and have been since September, I'm getting paid over the tax bracket so I'm currently paying tax which isn't an issue as I've paid very little into the system before is started working. At my place we get paid by the minute and anything before or after our aloted time we get time and a half. At the moment I can't really do that much extra time due to having to be supervised most the time. This apprenticeship is only a stepping stone as my current interest is NDT which my company does.d

  9. To get another R/C or to not get another R/C that is the question...

      When you need to build an extension to your house to keep your RCs in then just maybe you have too many.

      They don't have a monopoly just were unwilling to give the others a chance lol. So they're pretty much unheard of. But paypal is evil .com lists alot of alternatives Inc a uk based company that can be used with ebay too. PayPal just got in early.

      If your item has arrived with the buyer get them to leave the feedback and hopefully that will release the funds to you.

      Companies that buy politicians get the monopolies especially if said product company becomes legislation kind of thing. Trains are the first I found with proof the guy had to buy politicians first. A Yorkshire man who thought up the train the mps declined him on numerous stupid reasons until he said it'll make us all stupid rich then they signed the papers and rolled out the tracks.

      Excuse my French but ****. Luckily you're still alive! I feel you man, that must have been bad. It's bad enough with me like this, couldn't imagine being in a Hospital for weeks. Glad you're okay though :)

  14. I've had enough of Action Model Centre. Still not received order after over a month! With them also ignoring all attempts of contact. Time to take legal action me thinks!

      Makes you wonder why it is called "Action" Model Centre!

    3. RCbutcher

      RCbutcher

      You waited patient it's been a month now it's time to go above them. Atleast you waiting a good while tho. I've seen folk get angrier after just 6 days lol.

    4. HSKzz

      HSKzz

      I have tried phoning them on multiple occasions, to no avail. So going try and contact them one more time today via phone. If that is unsuccessful, I will go through Paypal to get my money back. Then see what legal advice I can get to fight a case against them for all the other people too!

  15. I love the way R/Cs can bring family together. My step-dad has bought one after seeing mine and now we have something to do!

      Yup, agreed, I've had 7 of those Mach's through my hands in various buggies and none of them ever really seemed happy... Ran 5 of the 21's and they were all really nice engines.

    3. shdaxner

      shdaxner

      I must be the only one who liked the .28 engine...found it a breeze to tune in my nitro ST when I had it....much easier than the HPI .21 that was in my Trophy buggy.

    4. HSKzz

      HSKzz

      Hmm i'll take that into consideration. Just it's nearon the same price as the .21, so I just though might as well look at that one lol

  17. Wahoo off for a 4 hour round trip just to pick up some Recaro seats for a MK4 Escort Estate!
