  1. I found the YouTube explaining why it's pinging. Going to use the pinch test for the LSN, then tuning should be complete πŸ‘πŸ» πŸ˜ƒ
  2. Great morning in the sun with the Carnage! One 10 minute blast from the SkyRC engine heater and it fired up within 10 pulls 😎 1st accomplishment of the session! Then after all that turnbuckle twizzling, the very dramatic pull to the right has reduced to a very slight pull to the right under hard acceleration. 2nd accomplishment! Finally completed the break in phase and moved onto tuning. Very pleased with myself 🀣 So this is how my tuning went. 1. Lots of blue smoke on full throttle runs but Does not feel boggy at all... never stalled since I've bought it. Temps on glow plug about 120/130'F Kept leaning HSN until it was too fast for my car park!lol... checked glow plug temp and it was 150/160F. However around the glow plug (4 screw heads) temp was 210/220F... so I stopped leaning HSN..... Question: can I ignore the 200+ temps as my glow plug temp was well under 200F?? Question: I'm 3.5 anticlockwise turns from fully screwed in HSN. Is this normal? Or should I be closer to fully screwed in HSN. (Struggled to explain this question lol) 2. I then moved onto LSN.... any adjustment I do to this needle I get a 'chattering' noise when I come off throttle. I remember seeing this in a youtube but I can't remember which one. LSN is 2.5 anticlockwise turns out from fully screwed in. Question: what causes the chattering? Maybe HSN is too rich still? I don't know πŸ˜• 🀷 Looking forward to hearing your answers as I've got another 2 hour session tomorrow πŸ₯³πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜ Thanks, Antony
  3. Heading out to yelverton rock in the morning. Wet roads/grass won't be a problem will they? There may be drizzle on and off aswell.Β  Car is splash proof isn't it?Β πŸ€”

      Family matters over ruled my hobby lol. I was roped into editing wife's Uni work 😫 back in London now. I'm determined to finish breaking it in tomorrow πŸ€žπŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»Β 

  4. Just watched their YouTube, looks like they offer a great beginner service , gun selection, fitting etc . πŸ‘πŸ»
  5. Yeah i saw them online, they do sound very good πŸ‘πŸ» I live 5 mins from: www.thegunroom.co.uk a great looking store but the one interaction I had with a lady was pretty blunt and unhelpful πŸ˜•
  6. Thank you for that comprehensive response! So much information to digest and look into. I enjoy shooting all types of guns so for me the main pull towards one or the other gun/club will be the supporting community. Whilst I'm getting to grips with this new Nitro hobby I'll have a look at the Airgun forum πŸ‘πŸ»
  7. Is anyone from this forum a member of any South West shooting clubs? It's always something I have been interested in, just never had anyone to go with πŸ˜’πŸ€£
  8. Hi Steve, sounds like the forum has gained another knowledgeable member πŸ‘πŸ» I'm brand new so get use to my dumb questions πŸ€£πŸ‘πŸ»
  9. Drive safe bud πŸ‘πŸ»
  10. I'm definitely not the one to be organising meets just yet. Lol. I'm back in Plymouth and need to finish breaking my car in! Thought the big car park at Lee Mill was a good shout before it opens. Got my turnbuckle tool now, just spent 1hr twizzling 🀣 I think I've got both front wheels toe / camber the same now 🀞🏻need to make it run straight before the full throttle runs. Please come over to say hello if your in the area 😁 I'll be the guy with the Nitro car going round in circles 🀣🀣
  11. lol, definitely a good call to give that a miss today ! I just hope Tesco Lee Mill car park is ok for Sunday night lol, I need to finish breaking in my car πŸ˜‚πŸ€ž
  12. Fingers crossed its like a snow day where everyone stays off the roads lol 🀞 Plymouth update from the wife lol , wheelie bins are secure, little boys trampoline is all bent! Its a sturdy bugger so it must be pretty bad already πŸ˜•
  13. Leaving London Red zone at 1300 and driving to South West Red zone lol. Lots of armageddon news this morning but that just makes the journey even more exciting. Does anyone else get excited by extreme weather ? Don't get me wrong, I still make sure I'm prepared for every eventuality, food and drinks in car, along with pillow and blanket incase I'm stuck on M4/M5 but its all part of the adventure πŸ˜€ Stay safe everyone, secure those wheelie bins πŸ˜‚
  14. Cheers mate, I've already spent a few hundred getting started so I think I'll go for those arrowmax first , and save the MIP tools for special occasion requests πŸ‘πŸ»
  15. Good job I asked, thank you.
