Hi - Where do you go in Purley Way? Is it safe up there - whenever I drive past there seem to be some very dodgy people around

Looks great. I work near to Northampton 3 - 4 days each week, so I'd be up for meeting one evening if you were arranging something.

Hi - the best tip that I can offer as a relative noobie myself is to make sure that the engine is warm before trying to startit. This might sound crazy but most nitro engines hate cold weather (they only fire due to the internal heat). When it is cold I always keep the car inside by a radiator until I'm ready to try to start it. It infuriates the wife but the cars start much easier

The suggestion to take it to pieces and then reassemble was so that you can see if anything is worn, broken or badly adjusted. This is one of the unwritten rules of running nitro cars - bits will break and/or stop working all on their own. It really is best to disassemble the gears so that you can get a good look at what is happening.

I was looking for the high-tech approach, but I guess standing it on its side is going to be just as effective. Thanks all.

I'll look out for a Schumacher wrench - I find it a real pain in the a** that an ordinary wrench just allows the plug to drop out...

Hi All.... Does anyone know if there is a glow plug wrench on the market that actually grips the plug so that you can lift it out an refit it easily? I am getting fed up with dropping the plug into the heatsink and just hoping that it ends up in the right place. Also, the muck that this must drag into the cylinder can't be healthy....

Hi - Are you open to offers... I see that this has been for sale for some time now... PM me if you're interested.

Hi - I have a few questions..... What are you including? Does it include the RC gear? How old is the engine? Where are you? Would I be able to collect if I decide to buy? Thanks, Neil.

Hi - just going back to your glow plug.... Mine glows continuously if I take it out of the car and connect it, so you could have a duff glow starter. The other thing to think about at the moment is the temperature. My Inferno will not start at the moment unless I warm it up first. You can do this with a hair dryer, but I find it easier to just leave it indoors in a warm room for an hour or so before you want to use it.

Hi Eddie - sorry I didn't make it on Saturday. It was just too cold for me Hope to meet up soon.

Hi Eddie - if there are no family commitments (and if it is not freezing like it was last year when we met) I'm up for it... Update the post with more details if you get anything finalised. Neil.

I'm mobile - happy to travel a few miles to meet up....

Good suggestion - it is really hard to see at speed, but I'll have a look to see if the setup can be improved to get rid of understeer.
