Has any one got a decent motor mount to fit a Hong Nor X2? Thanks

Av got a full set of mint Hyper ST pro shocks, might be able to use one off them? Or you could buy the whole set?

This is it running, although it wont have that engine lol

What would be a good price for a quite well conditioned Hyper PBS? Diffs serviced, new bearings all round (Only wheel hub ones fitted), 6KG throttle servo (No steering), no engine but exhaust pipe is included, okayish wheels and tires (Two sets, two wheels of each set are okay, the others fairly bald) 27mhz radio set, no shell. Basically a roller with a few extras... Thanks Matthew

Jesus you weren't kidding £5 for 10 of the little buggers lol. Thanks for finding them haha. I think I'll get the rod before them to make sure I have the right size Yeah that seems like a good idea, i'll have a look into them a bit more. I think I am probably going to go down the threaded rod route as It would make adjustment easier if I ever needed to. Plus I think they would hold up over time a bit better.

Yeah I was about to do the whole grinding a flat spot in it. I couldn't be bothered to get the compressor out for the die grinder haha, so I ended up just bending the ends of the rods up right where the blue bits where so they couldn't back off. They just keep catching on things tho :/ I might just buy some M1 and M2 threaded rod and see what I can do lol, trouble is I can't seem to find nuts that are small enough

I'm about half hour away from you, dunno if there is anyone closer?

I have recently purchased this linkage set for my buggy http://www.modelsport.co.uk/fastrax-pro-throttle-brake-linkage-set-black/rc-car-products/30633 All I can say is that it's pretty much made out of cheese grade parts lol. Within 10 mins of my car running on a flat grassy field (Not even going fast as still breaking it in) I had problems with the clamp things (Blue things in the picture) coming lose. One to the point that I had lost the whole rod set on the bottom brake set. The others just coming lose so the throttle and brake that was remaining would only be pulled about 2mm. Rather than buying it again hoping for something to be different. I was thinking of just making something out of lock washers and threaded rod. Just to keep everything in place and no chance of it moving. Has anyone done this before? (i'm guessing so lol) If so what did you use? M1 threaded rod? M2? Etc... Thanks Matthew

Right got a new engine coming tomorrow with any luck... As well as some 20% fuel and a new throttle linkage set! Should be able to go for a bash at the weekend... After the long task of breaking the engine in xD This sound like a good procedure? Start it up and let it idle for 10-15 mins, top up fuel tank. Then onto 1/4 throttle up and down passes, 2nd and 3rd thank doing 1/2 throttle up and down. Then 4th and 5th tanks just going from idle up to full throttle gradually?

It's to drop in my hyper 7, I defiantly need the flywheel, clutch etc as well as the pull start too. I do already have two exhausts but one is very old, the other I have no idea what condition it's in as it came with the car. Also comes with engine mounts too, although i'm unsure as to whether they will fit the hyper chassis :/

Ahh right okay, did it feel like it was a good built quality? I've never really heard much about Ansmann. I've seen one on ebay brand new, with clutch, bell gear, exhaust ect ect not even had the warning stickers taken off. It's a £99, is that a good price? Or should I try for less really?

What do people think about the Ansmann Racing AR-21 engine?

I know they're not supposed to spin like really easy. It's not even like it's a little bit tight at the top. You can move it about 1/4 turn before I physically can't turn it any more. You would have to see it to know why I am so ****** with it. I've received something that I wasn't aware of what I was buying. I shouldn't have to sit there for hours on end of my time trying to fix a problem that I wasn't aware I was buying. What if I had stripped it down and found out the piston/liner needed replacing for a new one? I would have thought they would be more than £25. Then I've spent £50+ on the engine by then I could have bought a brand new SH engine... Sorry if that sounds a bit angry lol

I never said that I expected it to work in 100% perfect order. Its just the fact that the advert says "turns over freely" and it is as stiff as anything. Just a really bad advert and I didnt feel like I bought what I saw

So I took delivery of that engine for £25... Well all I can say is I have asked the seller for a return address... In the advert it says "turns over freely" well now when I tried to turn it over by hand I felt like I was about to snap something, it turned a little bit but I bet it was very close to seizing up last time it was ran. Mentioned nothing about the carb being rust welded together causing it to be seized. Nothing about a massive chunk out of the fuel tank etc. It goes on. Fair enough the seller did offer me a refund and said they didn't know much about nitros. Some times it's just common sense... Rant over... Lol

Yeah that's what everyone says about them pretty much, especially when people go to buy a new Hyper 7 with the Force .28 because it's the same price most places as the .21 thinking that it must be better as it's bigger lol. We've got the little Kyosho .12 engine in one and they are bullet proof!! Step dad wants to find a cheap enough .15 one to drop in there lol

Yeah I have heard various things about the Force .28 engine, it's hard to get it to hold a reliable tune or it's prone to getting air leaks :/

Yeah ive heaed loads of things about their ratchets being really crap. We've got loads of things from them that are a good 10 year plus old and still going strong. So it goes to show

Ahh yeah we have one if them and I've slipped it on some wheel nuts before and with all my strength punched the floor and broke a knuckle Hope it gets better soon must suck lol The bolts that go through the chassis into the engine mount. I think they're something like M4x8 although not too sure

I forgot about this post... I already have an engine sorry haha. I'll PM you in a sec
