    There seems to be a theme with this car. Why does input have to be positive, I wondered whether anybody had spoken to a well known hop up supplier. What are you adding?

     

    I'm not suggesting owners simply buy a different car, thats just useless

  2. no, he wants that one to have its issues sorted, thats the challenge a proper RC devotee expects.

    Its like any area of a hobby thats boundary pushing, I'd guess even and go kart level, motor sport is a constant battle to get things to do what they should

  3. ah yes.  I've had many a spill like that with my carnage.

     

    Theres a cover that goes over the front of the lower section of the housing for the diff.

    take of the front bumper and you'll see it , it has a 2mm hex head bolt which needs undoing , that then shows you where the hinge pins are, pliers will get them out, just pull.

     

    PS freeprawn racing are great for spares, uk based and good service from what ive found in my dealings with them

    Do you guys run grease or oil in your diffs?

    You need to run oil in , as this affects how the diff works.

    heavier oil will limit the amount the diff allows the wheels to turn at different speeds.

     

    so you can sort of influence how well the truck steers under power or gets a tail slide on

  5. mega TC  thanks for such detailed advice.

     

    I have a solar fountain but as it only seems to work in direct sunlight, ive made up a duel input so I can power it from a Nimh.

    I leave it on for a good few hours a day and so far the fish seem fine.

    I'll keep an eye on things and report back any interesting updates

     

    thanks again folks
