model technics is awful in my experiance. its far too oily and it just spits out loads of gunk, regardless of tune.

Cool, think i will use the odonells. If anyone out there is thinking of ordering from the USA, DONT!! The amount of bull[CENSORED] they make you go through just to get the thing shipped is ridiculous! Keep the English model shops in business i say, i wish i had purchased locally, much easier, and you can drive it the same day!!!! & Not have to wait for some spick to send it when he's ready........

Is tornado the best brand to use?

do you know where to get your nitro fuel from

There are a few model stores around where i live that stock it, where do you recommend? Any internet mail orders sites you use?

Hhaha, no problem there, i am new to this but know it wont run on diesel!! Cheers Mate

whatever you do dont start it and go full throttle ... it will put to much pressure on thetight engine and you will probably snap the conrod

Nice one, cheers!!

in nitro engines, they require break in. i ran 3 tanks through just letting it idle, then 2 tanks quarter throttle, then 2 tanks half throttle, than another 2 with small bursts at full throttle before starting to drive it properly. there's alot of methods out there (a few in this forum under Guides & Tutorials) so research before trying this yourself! the engine may come with its own instructions on how to best run it in.

Cheers!

Thanks for the advice, you seem to know your stuff, any objections to me contacting you in the future if i have any problems??

Cheers, what did you think about the price? Does it seem reasonable? Iam new to this, i race a grade motocross and have been made to stop by the wife because we have just had a baby, i cant go without some sort of engineso this was my compromise!!!

Cheers! Im not at all familiar with these little cars, but i have raced a lot of 2 stroke moto x bikes. After a rebuild the best way to bed the rings was to just ride it flat out from the start? Would this be a good idea with a smaller scale 2 stroke like this? Or is a proper break in required??
