Thanks mate. Its exactly as you said. All sorted now. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Hi everyone, currently building the above vehicle and im left scratching my head. Ive nearly assembled it all but the problem ive got is when the suspension is at full droop and at full compression one of the driveshafts on the front and rear goes very stiff when i turn it it. When i do turn it, it trys to compress the shock before it does turn. Its fine when the driveshafts are level. So im guessing ive done something wrong as usual. Im not going to beat the likes of Adam Drake unless i can get this sorted！

Thanks for reply mate. I appreciate it. Yes i will try a os plug as i havent really got much choice just hope its ok. i actually ran the picco plug plug today It actually ran pretty good. So hopefully the os p5 will be ok.

Hi everyone, can someone advise which turbo plug will definitely fit my new picco 3tt please that are available to buy in the uk. I cant believe that you can buy a picco engine that comes with a picco p5 glow plug yet you cant buy them anywhere. Thanks Mick.

Hi everyone, hopefully one of you can point me in the right direction. I've lovingly put a Novarossi mephisto. 21 in my kyosho mp9 tki4 with a answer rc airflow 4 shoe clutch with 34mm flywheel. But it sits really high and my smd starter box with 76mm wheel won't reach the flywheel. Think it's about 4/5mm away. I can't take anything of the engine mounts as back of engine plate is close to chassis. I'm using standard kyosho engine mounts. I'm sure someone has put another engine in this model and got round the problem. I can only think that a bigger flywheel which I don't want to do as I've only just bought that clutch, or maybe the kyosho starter box with 50mm wheel would work? Thanks Mike.

OK thanks for your replies. Appreciate it.

Hi , anyone know of a UK stockist of o' Donnell turbo glow plugs. As I can only find them in the US. And not been a millionaire I'm not paying $40 dollars postage!!!

Totally agree with you. Just a bit of honesty would have been nice. It's sad to see them go. I bought it as a bit of nostalgia.

I'm lucky then, as it's almost complete. Still a nice little engine for what I paid. Having said that I haven't checked the internals yet, probably got a wooden piston and parts of a coke can as a con rod.

Just thought I'd warn you all to be careful buying NovaRossi engines from Italy on eBay. I've just received a mephisto .21 off road which was a good price. It was sealed in genuine packaging but when I opened it, it had no engine certificate or correct paperwork. It had steel bearings but on the box it was supposed to be steel front and ceramic rear. It had a RB concept glow plug. Not a CT06. It had a two needle carb instead of the 3 needle it should have come with. Think it was probably put together with left over parts given the current situation with NovaRossi. I'm not overly bothered as still a nice engine. But just ask questions before you buy. Hope this helps people.

If anyone can diagnose or knows the problem please let me know as it's a balls ache to send it back because of the value of it. And will cost me a fortune. Hopefully it's a quick fix as it's new?

Dif problem not dog.

Time for it to go straight back to where I bought it from!!!! I've just put on Allen key in the crub screw turned the rear wheels till the Allen key hits the chassis brace and the rear dif just turns. So it's obviously a dog problem like you say. Oh well box it up and send it back. Why does it always happen to me!!!!

And yes the rear wheels have drive and drive shaft turn the wheels fine.

Thanks for reply, I've checked that and is tight. Its a new buggy. Not even started it yet. Just checking everything. I can't understand it. The brake works fine as I can't turn the drive shaft at all but the rear wheels just turn when applying brakes on floor. Grrrrr
