  1. 25% nitro content is fine for land toys - my boats have to have weird nitro/oil combinations.
  2. Just the right amount to break in a new Hyper then...
  3. Use the Tornado fuel to break in the new Hyper and then run it with Byrons?
  4. Block the exhaust with your finger or thumb but lick it first - my thumb currently looks like the Olympic rings have been branded onto it!
  5. It looks like some words that spell "GATTLE BAWN"?
  6. It looks like some words that spell "GATTLE BAWN"?
  7. I use a stick pack with switch harness, so no need to keep opening the radio box when it needs charging. For Tx batteries l just buy disposable AA Duracell+ when they are on offer. The Tx batteries last many months - they are only powering a radio signal and nothing else.
  8. ^^^ -2 the walking bloke fills a whole screen and what is that pointless black and blue oblong thing?

  11. See the other thread(s) about this. Yes, it's called the 'throttle'.
  12. They are no different to connecting a servo into the receiver. Fastrax - "sets your servo to failsafe when your TX signal is lost. It also monitors your Rx battery voltage. It will send your servo into failsafe when your Rx battery is low in addition to loss of TX signal." M-Troniks - "Designed for loss of radio signal or low battery voltage"

    Wuss! I've done the Italian Job charity run across Europe and several trips to Newquay in a 998cc Racing Green.
  18. I'm not familiar with a TQ but a strip clean and lubrication of the linkages would help, if that amount of spring rate won't push it up.
  19. Yeah, buy loads of earplugs and post them through their letter boxes or just wear them yourself and if someone comes up to you to complain, say "what are moaning about? I can't hear it"
  20. It's not a Pro for many reasons. Bluefish - Sorry, couldn't resist it! That looks to have been a bargain, start it up to make sure the engine is ok, replace the servos, check EVERY screw is tight and get it mucky! .D Oh and then buy Spider diffs, with the corresponding oils.
