  1. i'd have one straight away if it was released as a roller. Not sure on the 23cc Dynamite engine (you just know it'll be under-powered) and the servos will probably be of low quality. on the plus side it does come with speccy radio gear.
  2. more accurate way is with the depth guage on a vernier before assembling engine, slide piston as far as it will go into head (without piston ring fitted) measure with vernier assemble engine wind piston to TDC and remeasure subtract original measurement = squish
  3. i was being sarcastic look closely at this new "Losi" then look at the redcat then look at them both with the shells off
  4. all you need are some long body-posts. Don't have a link as i used to run Beetle shells. PM Dwarfy on here as he has some good body mounting ideas
  5. car radiator hose will melt, you need a high temp silicone hose. Use heavy duty cable ties as jubilee clips can cut thru the hose when it heats up
  6. you don't need his carbon undertray (although these do keep the crud out) you can fabricate your own body mounts
  7. genuine FG hubs have a metal ring with threaded holes top and bottem. If you are using the right length bolts they will not rip out. Sometimes the ring turns preventing the use of the correct length bolts and shorter ones are used instead which will pull out of the plastic
  8. it should freewheel smoothley...check the belt rollers
  9. the quality of Alan Woodall's shells are outstanding....and very heavy (approx 2kg) this guy makes good quality shells too http://www.fshopups.com/fiberglass-bodies.htm
  10. oil out of exhaust won't be a tuning issue....it will be too much oil in your petrol mix
  11. thats like comparing a 1/1 scale car, say a ford fiesta against a range rover, both fitted with a 1.6 litre engine
  12. the FS is a MCD evo3 clone. Not a bad car but a bit dated. On the plus side Lauterbacher make some alloy upgrades for this at very reasonable prices. FS plastics are a bit questionable http://www.lauterbacher.net/xtc/index.php?cat=c323_Carbon-Fighter---Graupner-MT-6---FS.html&XTCsid=65b2e2c4326230fcb4dee0168403f672 they are listed as conrad reely carbon fighter which is also a MCD clone. Parts are cheaper than MCD parts !!
  13. if you don't use teflon gaskets with the alloy insulator block, as the engine gets hot the heat is transferred to block and then carb causing fuel to boil off before it gets to engine and engine will die and not re-start 'til its cooled down. this will be obvious by the primer bulb not pulling up any fuel. Teflon gaskets can be had for about
