Hey there Jacksprat, if you don't mind me asking - where did you get the desperado wheels from? I have been waiting for ages for the rears to come into stock but nobody seems to have them...

+1 on good things about clones, i have got one and its spot on - as you say all parts are interchangeable. Buy a clone and use the rest of your money for some shiny bits....keep an eye on ebay, you sometime see clones come up quite cheap secondhand. The clones do sometimes need a bit of tweaking - drill bigger/more holes in shock pistons for example, but its all part of the fun

Whoa whoa - a bash in Thirsk? Whats the crack? camping on site etc? I may have to make the journey, its only 70 miles!

Cheers Shade, those instructions are exactly what i needed - Thanks a lot mate I will no doubt be back on when i have done something wrong!

The kit includes a new head, a piston, a pin, a bearing, a couple of spacer things, 2 circlip things and new gaskets. Oh and a new "Torch" sparkplug. There is no new crank...

Just got one of these and was wondering if anyone else has fitted one? Anything i need to do/look out for? I'm no newbie when it comes to engines but there are no destructions instructions with the kit so i do not wanna do anything stupid that will hurt my baby... So any advice chaps? Also do you think the SS pipe may hinder the exhaust flow, as its meant for the 26cc engine? I could get one of the copy dom exhaust too if needed...

pm sent re schumacher sheets....

just get the cheaper one from MMR, the wiring is an absolute doddle. 2 core from the radio box to the existing push button, solder onto the push button connections, connect to PB killswitch, away ye go. I was going to get the one with supplied wiring, but you still need to do quite a bit of disassembly anyway to actually fit it, so if you can solder - get the cheaper one, you may as well save the cash towards more hopups.....

+1 for the PB killswitch, works well and easily fits into the radio box.

I did exactly the same with my exhaust coupling, its a bad design IMO. I put a kind of wide jubilee clip that i got from work over the the broken coupling and tightened it up. Its still holding together. But as mentioned above the ss pipe is really loud, my girlfriend said "sounds like a hundred motorbikes", so its not for running in the street.

From the ansmann website:- Charging time: 100 mAh 30-120 min depending on cell count Charging time: 100 mAh 30-120 min depending on cell count Charge display: by red LED Batch display: red LED by Input voltage: 230 V~50 Hz +/-10% Input voltage: 230 V ~ 50 Hz + / -10% Output voltage: 4.8 - 9.6 nominal V DC Output voltage: 4.8 - 9.6 V DC nominal Charging current: 350 - 100 mA Charging current: 350 - 100 mA The figures shown above seems wrong to me as normally you charge the battery at its capacity divided by the charger output, so if your charger gives out 300mah and your battery is 3000mah it should take 10hours. You won't get much run time out of a charge of 120minutes? Hmmm this is a funny one......i give up

does that charger show its output on its label?

Joe McKeown What is it with diabetics? One minute they're on the floor with a loved one standing by screaming "Give him some chocolate! Give him some chocolate!" The next day someone offers them a piece of chocolate and quick as a flash they say "No thanks, I'm diabetic." I wish they'd get their story straight.

There is a track at Bishop Auckland, check out www.northernrc.com Never been but it looks good.

i was lucky enough to get a nearly complete Tamiya Blazing Blazer at a summer fair in 1986 for

keep an eye on ebay (US or worldwide) for "supermaxx" for the diffs but be warned they are like hens teeth and very expensive. You could also look out for the robinson racing hardened diff gears, i think rcboyz on ebay (.com not UK) normally have them, these would fit into stock diff cases and are a lot better than the standard gears. Personally i would just run your maxx in and see how it fares, but do not try to use reverse gear (easily stripped) and make sure that your slipper is not too tight.....let me know how you get on. google supermaxx and have a look at others trucks for inspiration.

i fitted a picco .26 and it shredded the diffs so i uprated them with unlimited engineering diffs but they were very pricy....i also had probs with stock driveshafts twisting and popping off at the UJ so i got some cvd's, i also added robinson racing gears to the transmission but this was just belt & braces. After about

machinemart do a kit for about
