  1. I've already found an eBay supplier, but ill look into the Facebook group, I'm also going to go custom and buy a exhaust and modify the header to fit, its cheap but I'm going to try go under £200 (excluding fuel) and I've already spent £175.
  2. 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)
  3. 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.
  4. 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).
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. 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.
  8. The spark plug also doesn't spark, could ordering ordering a new one fix it?
  9. 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
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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?
  13. £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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. I've looked more online and finally found a similar replacement part, it looks like it will fit but I'm not sure.
  18. I could take apart a broken transmitter and glue on the trigger and I'm based in Northamptonshire.
  19. I had this remote in storage and I saw it without a trigger so I looked for the the other part of the trigger to super glue but I couldn't find it anywhere, I looked online for one and I only saw replacements for kyosho and other transmitters, this is a fully working transmitter and I don't want to throw it away but I have run out of ideas. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
  20. Have you connected the failsafe between the battery and the receiver?
  21. This might sound crazy I want an edf on my 1/8 hpi vorza, there's an upcoming rc drag race (no build regs) and I want to go fast as possible on a budget. As I have an 3s esc I will be able to go 3s. I've seen people putting edfs on their rcs (youtube) and they seem powerful. But I don't know which is the best for thrust and efficient as I'll be using a low end esc. If anyone knows about edfs then please let me know what to get.
