Beefy engine!! Looks a beast even while being ran in rich!!

I’m actually in a Mountsorrel, but willing to travel for help!!

Hi all, Only used my hpi maverick a handful of times, not been used in 18 months. Started it up last week, engine revs high, turned the idle down and its affected the brakes etc etc. Not a confident guy...can someone please help sort this and also tune the engine please? Obviously I’ll pay for your time. many many thanks.

Ah nice one! Looks a beast!

Ah nice one! you got pics??

Glad you got it sorted!

What about an FG Marder? Think about £650/£700 brand new. Maybe a little dated now but still good?!

Hi all, took my maverick blackout ST truck out the other day. The idle was kinda high, and after about 15 mins on the playing field lt just cut out and now won't start. Maybe damage due to overheating? willing to pay of course for someone to fix it!! Many thanks.

Thanks all! Last question if I bought this, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ripmax-Grip-Tite-Glow-Plug-Clip-Starter-L-IP110-/161577887174?hash=item259ecae5c6:g:BKwAAOSw1vlUyOmq what battery Should I get, can someone recommend one??

Hi all, l used to have a black battery type glow starter ( with crocodile clips ) can't seem to find one of these now...any help finding one would be great. im back in the hobby after quite a few years!! Found a menace 21 as new on ebay. I used to have one back then....

Sounds good!

A guy helped me in Earl Shilton! But thanks for the replies and messages offering help. bought a used FG monster truck off him too!

Mountsorrel, in between Leicester & Loughborough. Where do you use your 5T??

Think it's built into the reciever?

Pretty sure it's just 2 channel???

Opps I'm in Leicestershire! yes I primed first, plus thought it was flooded, so cleaned & checked the spark plug and looked down to the piston and it didn't look flooded..... Thanks for for a couple of pms so far,

Hello everyone, used to be into rc a few years ago, now thanks to eBay l just bought myself a Hpi maverick blackout st truck!! It's only been used for 3 tanks of fuel by the guy l bought it off & he started it when I collected it. Went to use it for the first time yesterday, and put choke on, pulled the pull stater 3 times, choke off & it wouldn't start. tried for about 20 mins and nothing. sorry to ask on my first post, but is there someone local to me that would be willing to help me please & get it going?? Willing to pay of course.
