Hi everyone Is that quarry still accessible/usable? I'm other side if stockport but always looking for somewhere interesting for my Baja. Tim Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Ok - the hpi part is discontinued. Any other alternatives? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi Managed to break a rear shock shaft today and unfortunately must places don't seem to have them in stock. Googling, they look very similar to an hpi part 6879. Same length, diameter, thread at each end and a little shoulder at one end. I can't tell whether the threads are the same though without getting some delivered. Before I do, does anyone know if these are interchangeable? Cheers Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Always loved the Wild One ever since I had one as my first Rc car. Bought a re-release but it's never been used (and won't be)! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yep. I'm in stockport (Cheadle Hulme). Always looking for somewhere to have a go. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Cheers - I'll try that tomorrow Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sounds similar - it had been running for maybe 5-10 mins before it started doing it. It was the relatively sudden change that confuses me though. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi guys, sorry been rather hectic recently. I think it must be the picture and an illusion. The clutch is centred and tight on the crank. The clutch bell rotates smoothly round it when in place. Did order a couple of new springs before I saw yours posts but not a waste to have them ready anyway. I'm at a loss womdering what it is. I'd almost wonder if the engine is just too rich now, but it was a pretty quick change from going ok (half throttle or so for break on) to struggling to. Tried again in the garden today. A couple of times it started moving at a reasonable pace but only after I put full throttle on. The other couple of times it bogged down and killed the engine. The only other thing was that there was cut grass in the field I was in. Is there any reason why this could give the symptoms? This thing is bugging me now! I'm in Stockport if anyone can help - willing to travel within reason 'cod I'm at a loss. I've got a couple of videos I took trying to see what happened - I'll post links.

Thanks a lot - really appreciate the advice. Will try a new one. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I see what you mean. Would that give symptoms described? In my ignorance, Wouldnt a stretched spring be slacker and therefore mean that the shoes are flung out more easily and the clutch engages sooner? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi, I've disassembled again to reach the clutch. I can see what looks like a couple of triangular arrows next to two of the holes and pointing in an anticlockwise direction. This seems right for the direction of travel. There seems to be quite a lot of brownish marking on the clutch shoes and very little inside the clutch bell. Whether this is appropriate for only 10mins running I have no idea. I've attached a photo. Any help appreciated. Thanks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks - I'll check. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yes - checked it. The shoes have plenty of material on them and the spring seems tight. I can't move the shoes myself. Is that normal? I'm assuming that it's meant to be quite tight. I'll check whether it's backwards but it did work ok for the first 10mins so id assume it's unlikely. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
