  1. i didn't either ! i did get a bag with fittings to fit sway bars ...but no bars ! still a good little car tho'
  2. i got a virus from my wife on our wedding anniversary docter gave me some cream, said it should clear up in a week !! seriously now.......got it beginning of april, just finished 2 1/2 gallons of model technics 16% nitro and worn out the tyres it came with running it in was a pain (isn't it always) but did 2 tank fulls on factory settings (assuming out of the box was factory...it was running v.rich) a further 2 tanks, leaning it slightly it now runs very well, probably not fast enough to race with, but fast enough for bashing my local haunts are a very stoney beach....after a 2 hour bash i stripped a tooth in the steering servo...fair enough as i was hammering it with lots of high speed turns and a bmx track with lots of big jumps..........here i've bent the rear shox, landed hard on front left wheel, sending top wishbone pin out and thru' the petrol tank and then broke me pullstart (now replaced with an electric start ) i take the car to pieces once a week and clean and check everything i probably would have been better off with a truggy but this is great fun still using the original plastic spur gear, no probs there, tho do expect to have to replace at some point brakes suffer from fade after an hour so will replace these as well my only real gripe is the lack of choice of bodies for 1/8th buggies i really want a vw beetle shell !!!!
  3. cheers peeps, this is exactly what i was after have got a temp guage for it , running at 211f and now i've busted me pullstart anywhere open at 9:30 pm in Hants ? lol
  4. its a .21, but don't know what make its fitted on my RTR Ansmann virus and if i can here my fuel boiling is it running too hot?
  5. how hot should my engine get? do different engine sizes differ in temp?
  6. i've not found anything to fit covering the wheels but 1/8th monster truck shells sort of fit on an Ansmann virus buggy kept the wing as it wouldn't corner at speed
