  1. Does any one have one and can tell me the width from outside of tire to the other outside of tire cos iv been obsessing about this little truck and im wondering if it will fit up the little slide on my boys little plastic climing wotsit ? This will be a deciding factor lol . I did read online "width 480 mm " On the normal versions but was unsure weather or not this included the wheels . Im a noob you see

    Noob question

    Yeah i will do . Kind of looking forward to it . Iv actualy got my shocks sitting now full up with the cap off waiting for the air bubbles to dissapate ala you tube tutorial . But one thing i have noticed is that my top caps dont have a diaphragm/bladder in the top or any where, just an orange o ring seated around the insde edge of the topcap with a circular space in the centre. So im a bit stumped now on how to fill without any air locks

    Noob question

    I havent actualy ordered the rebuild kit yet . Was just gonna dump all the oil out of all 4 and replace with whatever seemed to me to be the best suggestion Il wait till i break something else (wont be long) Then order to save on postage . Thanks by the way i realy appreciate all the advice youve been giving me

    Noob question

    Ok im waiting on parts to arrive to get my hellion select four 10tr (same roller as vkar bison ). Bits will probably be here tomorrow but this evening iv noticed oil at the bottom of one of my shocks . I took it off lifted the rubber gator that covers the shaft of the shock and yeah its definately coming from there . What do i do now ? Obviously im going to need shock oil wich i can probably get up the road at active scale models. But do i need to order the shock seal kit for my car or is it a generic o ring type thing for shocks. Like one kit fits many ? Oh and is it a bad idea to run it before i sort this out
  10. Oh yeah my issues are definatly down to me . User malfunction i think its called . Was just getting a bit cocky on the 2s then it reminded me im a noob with the 3s. If i can il try and get some one to film me next time i smash it up
  11. Iv come to the conclusion that i cant handle 3s . Bent my bulkhead this time (hlns1002) Was having fu9n with the two 2s then i put im my 3s and got a bit brave over the grass mound i was bashing and sent it cartwheeling through the air ,did pretty much the exact same thing friday to but closer to the ground and got away with just a bent rear trackrod . I get a bit of confidence on the 2s'es then put the 3s in and get a bit heavy handed on the throttle . At least i get to have a good tinker and clean up while im waiting for the parts i spose . Oh and ring up wheelspin and ask them if i can add a few more parts to saturday evenings order to avoid the extra postage . Thought of putting in a 4s scares me a bit
  12. Thing i dont get is the front and rear sway bars i see them for sale with the spares for the four 10tr but i cant actualy physically see them on my one at all . Baring in mind iv not stripped mine right down yet just done a few minor repairs to the general hinge / hinge (how do uou spell hindge?) Pin area . Bit it looks to do the same as an anti rollbar on a real car .. But i cant find them on my rc where youd expect to find them if it were an actual automobile

  14. Iv found that its good to have a stock pile of hindge pins ,hindge pin bushes in the parts bin
  15. Can i join the bison owners thread if iv got the helion four 10tr?
