  1. Thanks for all the help, I've just got one last question, how do i make more power? should i use a different fuel like shell vpower? maybe get a high flow intake or a better exhaust? im planning to sell a nitro buggy so i can put a bit of money on improving the jama for around (£50-70)
  2. I've tuned the carb to a slightly more lean tune and it now reaches high rpms, it looks like it reaches around 30mph instead of 20mph.
  3. I took the spark plug out and the tip was black so I did what you said, I left it overnight and I also took off the exhaust, which contained a lot of leftover fuel so I poured the fuel out and it started, I also tested with different fuel mixtures (1:40, 1:32)but im not sure on which works the best, I've started tuning the carb and doing some drag races with a friend that has a nitro, but the 2 stroke engine doesn't seem to reach very high rpms, but I'm happy with it at the moment, should I try a tank of 1:25? Or will that harm the engine? I also prime until I can see that it's full and then, choke on, pull until it sounds like it's about to start, choke off and start it (it normally takes 2 pulls).
  4. I just got new spark plugs it took long due to shipping issues, I tested for spark and I clearly saw spark so I took out the old plug and put the new one in and the engine couldn't start I even swapped back to the old plug i tried to reposition the ignition coil buy using an old credit card, it still sparks but it doesn't start, I Also tried putting fuel straight into the engine but it doesn't start, it has compression, spark and fuel but it still doesn't start, I can't figure out the problem. Can anyone please help me.
  5. The tip of the spark plug was black so I assume it was running rich, I also bought a new spark plug from Ebay as they are cheap, its strange as the car only takes 1‐3 pulls to start and I can't see any spark even in a dark room, when I go full throttle it launches a bit but then it goes slow, its probably because the rpms are low but I don't know if I'm right as I'm new to petrol. Should I try tune the carb or is it best to leave it alone? I'm not sure on the fuel ratio as my friend has a lawnmower and he gave me some fuel so I can drive the car. The seller also told me that the buggy has been sitting for around a year, but unlike nitro cars (which need afterrun oil) people have told me that it's ok to just start it normally if its been sat for a while
  6. There is the button to kill the engine, i don't know if that's the kill switch but I do have a failsafe installed.
  7. The spark plug also doesn't spark, could ordering ordering a new one fix it?
  8. I've got the buggy driving but it doesn't even go fast. But When I lift the rear wheels up then they look like they are going fast. https://youtu.be/x4z2fMG0MVc?si=PfxiTLeT3-5FaIMh
  9. I found a person on ebay that has lots of parts from these jawas, he has 14, the reason I went with this car is because it was very cheap and I don't want to spend £500 straight away, but after I sell it then I will buy something with better aftermarket support, it's very easy to start, way easier than a nitro. That's why I wanted a petrol in the first place.
  10. I knew parts were going to be a pain to find but i bought the car through an ebay auction for only £106 without remote, without shock pieces and brakes and i started it up today, i could ask someone to 3d print the shock parts as the shock its self is fine all i need are the plastic pieces. its a 1/5 Aowei Jama 26cc just to let you know. i contacted the seller and he told me he didn't have brakes as it stops quickly due to the weight, should i buy the brake set when i find one? ill probably be running it in a large field most of the time. i will take it for a test drive tomorrow as ive super glued the shock piece together and im going to see how it holds up.
  11. I had a nitro but got fed up with trying to start it so I got this buggy recently for a great deal but it requires some parts like a full brake set and some parts for the shocks. The only place I could find parts was nitrotek but the parts I was looking for are all out of stock could someone please tell me where to find parts for this buggy?
  12. £200 collection or £220 posted https://ibb.co/fMLcB3p https://ibb.co/SKZcGqh https://ibb.co/2K4X61G This is my 6s hpi vorza which has a hobbywing max 8 esc and motor and I haven't been using it much because I got a nitro car that seems to be more fun for me. 1 front drive shaft is bent and you will probably have to set a gear mesh and you will need a new transmitter and receiver. I would also be interested in a nitro engine and I have a decent amount of lipos if you are interested. If you have any questions feel free to ask me.
  13. It will add a bit of power but I saw one used £80 and the seller told me he only used the engine for 2 runs.
  14. The force looks good but I have a tight budget around £80 and I can only see new force engines which are cheap, but the lrp I've seen costs £80 used, I've seen some cheap mac 28s which I believe that they are from the hyper but I haven't had any experience with them.
  15. My xtm xt2 buggy has the xtm 247 and has 2.6hp I was wandering if there are any engines I could upgrade to that have more power, I was looking on ebay and a lrp z. 28r caught my attention but I don't know if I should put it in my buggy.
