    1/5 buggy

    Hi, got a 30 degree north truck for sale if your interested? Brought new this may. Loads of upgrades. In great condition. Let me know if your interested and I'll give more information. Thanks.
  2. I'm selling my little used hyper 7 TQ2 chassis. Item number on eBay is 183296952123 I'm open to offers please get in contact through here it eBay. I've also got other RC items on my eBay so please look at my other items. Thanks.
  3. Hi all, Got a 30 DNT. All was going well when it cut out mid run. Packed up and went home. I had a weak to no spark so thought that was the issue. Took it all apart the coil and magnets were a bit dirty so I cleaned them up and checked the gap. Was happy. Got good spark and the kill switch is working as it should. Installed engine etc back in the car and still nothing. I’ve got no air leaks. Carb is pulling fuel through fine and holding it in the primer bulb. I’ve not even had two tanks through this. Also I have tried new spark plug. Any ideas of what I should do next would be appreciated. On stock engine. Thanks.

  5. Used once to break in and once to tune and not used after that. Schumacher mini pins they have been used once. The original paint job I though was awful so I removed the paint the best I could and re painted some of the black is still showing through on close inspection but it still looks way better than the original colour scheme. This is the version with the savox servos. It’s a .21 turbo plug engine. Very fast and it’s still running rich. May need a tune as been stored for 5 months. Selling as just got my first 1/5th and will no longer be running 1/8th. Any questions please ask. £160 + postage.
  6. £250 ono. Very good condition. Was broken in then was run second time to put a tune on it. Then once again for a tank after that. This works as new as it isn’t far off. The pull starter was never used as I like to run on a starter box. The pull starter and original engine mounts are included if you wish to return it to a pull starter. If you want to use it how it is you’ll need a starter box. The car comes with the radio and I’ll through in a hump pack as well but you’ll need a charger for this. Wing is broken from going over on last run. Any questions feel free to ask. Selling as just got got my first 1/5th and won’t be running 1/8th anymore.
  7. From friends that have had them they aren’t a bad first buggy but are week from what I’ve seen and things tend to break easy on them. Like I’ve said earlier I’ve not had any trouble bashing my kyosho inferno as well as using at a track for fun not racing though. The hyper vs .30 is only £10 more than the 7 is better equipped than the hyper 7 and is a animal with power. I’d give one of these a try when my kyosho gives up.
  8. Did your mates need to rebuild the diffs or was there no signs of leakage? Thanks Kenny.
  9. Were the diffs in need of more oil or could it if ran out the box? Thanks.
  10. The wheels are the only bad thing on the kyosho. And that’s cosmetic. If you go hyper they are still a great buggy. Just a point to make these are probably the tightest rtr engine I’ve come across with crazy pinch be sure to pre heat. Have fun.
  11. Thanks Kenny. The X2 comes with a body as well? Does the Losi 5 and X2 parts fit on the 30 north? I can’t find much running videos or reviews on the 30 but a fair few on the X2. I can’t decide. How long do you think it will take for RcModelz to get the X2 in stock have joined the email list. But your saying the 30 north. Thanks.
  12. Anyone out for a bash in the snow today?
  13. Used them 2 weeks ago no problems at all.
  14. Ive got one of these and the hyper 7 as above. Hyper 7 slightly faster but the kyosho has just as good as spares back up plus loads of higher end option parts from the kit spec. The kyosho looks better runs and starts better especially if your new to nitro. And the COPS pull starter they seem to be putting on hobao products it’s just utter garbage. I’ve hardly ran my hyper 7 as I took a gamble on the kyosho and was glad I did. If you want a hyper 7 as the masses always recommend these then I will do you a deal on mine. But if buying new I’d recommend the kyosho. All of if the above is opinion not fact. As long as you enjoy what your using is all that matters.
  15. Hi all, I’ve recently been down sizing my 1/8th nitro collection to buy my first 1/5th Petrol. I’ve whittled it down to two (other options not listed please advise if you think they are a contender). I would like to know which is the better from people that have owned or know about these. 30 degrees north short course https://www.rcmodelz.co.uk/rc-cars/1-5th-scale-petrol-cars/30-dnt-shortcourse-truck-rtr.html or the KM X2 Deluxe https://www.rcmodelz.co.uk/rc-cars/1-5th-scale-petrol-cars/km-x2-deluxe-blue-blue-alloy.html it's not just the power out put for me as what is a few MPH. I would like the most reliable of the two with the better spares support and drivability. And all round better car. I know the KM X2 can have pretty much all the Losi parts used on it which is good for product support but can I use Losi parts on the 30 degree? A look on the RcModelz site and I’m seeing more spares for the KM X2 is this the case? I know the KM X2 is currently out of stock but I’m happy to wait if it’s the better car. Thanks in advance for any opinions and help.
  16. I’m in Stafford but go various locations for work so maybe able to help. Where about a are you? I’m looking for £250. You’ll either need a starter box or will have to put pull starter back on. If your interested I can add more photos showing the small scratches. They are very minor though. Thanks.
  17. I’m selling mine. latest rtr model. Converted to be used on starter box. Pull starter and original engine mounts included. Used once which was break in and 4 tanks after. Few light scratches but in great condition rear wing is slight broken but will throw in a buggy wing. Let me know if your interested.
  18. I’m interested in this if you’ve got more details and pictures. Thanks.
  19. Hi Mike, Welcome to the site. Master needle 4.5 to 5.0 turns out from fully in. Low end 3.5 turns out from flush. Mid range needle shouldn't be touched and should be flush. (Brass needle) if if it’s the turbo plug engine you may need to set the high end needle 1.5 turns further out (richer) than stated. Matt.
  20. Thank you I will try this tomorrow and let you know.
