(Sorry if this is the wrong section but I dont know where to turn now) Hi all, I am Paul and here is my story. I was gifted three old RC cars from a friend who was leaving the country. They have given me two battery cars (with no batteries) and one Nitro car. A Schumacher fusion 21. When I got it I had it going for about half an hour and it was great but once I put it away and went back to it a week later it will not start. I changed the glow plug for a No8 as recommended and set the car up as shown on YouTube videos. The problem is I know nothing about RC cars but what I have learned in the last two weeks and that is not much. My question: Is there anyone in the Essex/London area who could look at this car for me. I would be happy to pay or I have about twenty body shells they could have. Here are some pictures below Many thanks Paul

Thanks for the advice. One set of rechargable batteries later and it is running like it just come out the box. Your a stay Stormbringer

Here are a few pictures underneath. I have been using AA as that is what it states in it check out these pictures. The last picture is from the inside of the battery case it says um-3. Paul

Thanks 👍🏻

Hi All, My name is Paul I'm new to this whole RC thing so please forgive the questions if you think they are stupid remember there was a time Vaughan could not paint. I bought a 1980's QD Monster Beetle but when I put new batteries in the controller and the car (The batteries I was using were brand new Energiser ultimate max) it wont run, let me elaborate. The steering clicks and does turn slow a couple of times then stops working, the rear wheels dont have enough power to turn. I tested the batteries and was getting 11 volts from them. I removed the motor and put 12 volts through it, the motor spun up perfect. When I attached the charger (I know I was not using rechargeable batteries but never mind) after a few minuets I had enough power to make the back wheels turn slow and build up speed but if you put it down it did not move at all Can anyone suggest my next step? Do I require some special batteries? Thanks for the help Paul
