simo Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I cant run the camber on the front any more, it just will not turn !I left the camber on the back and it handles realy well, with the slicks anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I think he means it's worth spending £2 on fixing it because you could make about 50 times that much if you sold it.Oh right, well in that case he should have read what i had written a bit better. I did say that i would only replace it if i was going to sell it so it makes his post a bit of a moot point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicH_87 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Here's my daily driver. (not so daily at the moment until the weather dries up).Hyper 7 with a Force 32 engine (big block, LOL). It's fun. It's got some carbon fibre hop up bits and the odd shiny part as-well. Run it on Tornado 25% at the moment with a cold plug.I also used to collect old tamiya models, i've had far too many over the years. Just got four left now, Top Force, Top Force Evo and a couple of Hornets.The Top Force Evo is going on ebay this week if anyone is interested. Its becoming a very rare car.

Matthew_Gibson Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I wouldnt mind getting back into it again. Costs too much though! I have two thunder Tigers TS-4N both 1:10 scale. They been sat in my loft for the last 2-3 years. I also have a Mardave beetle. use to go into the sports center and race about on the badminton courts. Don't use them though. If anyone needs spares I will happily break them up. I have a Black Elise wheel, NEVER used on the car, have been fitting and put in a box. I'll pop up there to night and take a few pics. I think there electrics are iffy though, think water has got into the servos, but I cleans them ages ago. Engines only Pro 12 pullstart engine Buts its a nippy lil thing. My dad has at least 7 planes on his loft. From jets to stunt planes, a few gliders and a lazy bee which he made for me to learn ot fly! and a sim for the comp!!!! I lost interest when I got bike, and it sorta became one of the fases I went through.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tipsy Jock Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Anyone interested in a Losi XXX buggy? 1/10th 2WD electric, very high spec (or was when it was new). I used to race it but uni + bike distracted me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun H Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Ok, I have a Traxxas T-Maxx here at home. I spent a fair while earlier trying to get it to start. No joy.When you plug the starter in (it's that (not so) EZ start thing) the motor LED lights up and spins the engine over however the glow plug LED will not light up, ever. The glow plug looks fine, I'm not an expert whatsoever on these so if anyone has any ideas...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicH_87 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 you need a new glow plug then.they are only a few quid, but try and buy the better quality ones over the cheaper ones. it'll make your engine run better/ be kinder to the cylinder.

Fixed Pants™ Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 New glow plug, about 3 quid from your LHS.Also, get rid of the GAY EZ start system, get a pullstart and a seperate glow starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 New glow plug, about 3 quid from your LHS.Also, get rid of the GAY EZ start system, get a pullstart and a seperate glow starter.I bought a new glow plug but the nerd at the store gave me the wrong one, had a wider fitment on top, so I filed it down, jammed it in the socket and it still didn't work.Will look into the pullstart/glow starter. How much am I looking at to convert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
