    stock rims flaking

    My wheels are starting to flake off the fake black chrome. Anyone sand or remove the old paint and spray bomb them with new paint?

    Glow plug life

    Thanks guys. I've been getting McCoy MC59 I think was the part number, I had it out yesterday and it was running strong no stalling or hiccups and wasen't smoking (just on full throttle) and we where out for 2 hours and I used up 2 plugs!! What the hell is bad with my tune to do that? And I...

    Glow plug life

    I'm a newbie to RC cars and after a few glow plugs and spider gears I think I'm getting better at tuning the engine and setting the spider gears. But I'm still burning thru a lot of glow plugs it seems, I'll get like 3 or 4 runs say for 2 or 3 tanks of nitro each. Is that the life of glow plugs...

    4.6 spur gear

    basically my spur gear is stripped all the way around it and it is centered in the gear. I have barely driven my car (had alot of tuning issues but it's running good now), but I've used up 4 gears all ready. I meshed them correctly using the paper and at that time it runs great sounds quite...

    4.6 spur gear

    Now that I have FINALLY got my savage tuned properly I have a spur gear question. I burnt thru 3 plastic spur gears trying to get it tuned right and dealing with some wacky idle issues while the wheels were on the ground. But now it runs great so I took it out on a gravel road and into the...

    Couple questions

    I got a couple newbie questions for you guys. Why is it that with my 4.6 when I hit the brakes my engine die's? As the engine heats up I have to keep turning the throttle trim down untill it gets up to temp then it seems to work better but for 5 or 10min of driving it I can't hit the brakes...

    my "break" in

    I would LOVE to take to someone else but in my city thats the only shop. Its still dying when I give it more than 1/2 throttle, so guys how many turns is your mixture screw from bottom? I've leaned it out a lot since I got it back from the shop but it doesn't seem to make any differance..

    my "break" in

    well I got it back from the hobbie shop and he got it to run, and looks like he rolled it a few times by all the scratches on it. But it takes forever to fire up like 5 min. Then once the heat is built up it starts. and it stalls out when ever I give it more than 1/2 throttle, I turned the...

    my "break" in

    well I was reading some old post and seen it's not good to leave nitro in the system for a long time. It was in there for a week so I swaped fuel and it actually fired up, idle smooth for a bit then as it warmed up the revs went off the charts. It stripped the damn spur gear again cause of the...

    my "break" in

    nothing changed.. I am new to nitro cars but have a mechanical back ground and this makes no sense. The glow plug is good, gets red hot all the way to the tip. I took the mixture screw till it was flush then turned it down 2-1/2 turns like the book says(not a great tune but it should fire)...

    my "break" in

    thanks for all the tips guys. I took it all apart and found those three screws that you locktight that holds the rotostart gears to the block were to tight. So I backed them off and it turned freely. So now do I have to pull the spur gear off again and do the paper trick? And I leaned it out a...

    my "break" in

    should I try turning the shaft? When I had the gears sitting in the housing everything turned fine then once it's bolted on it doesn't turn. wtf

    my "break" in

    Hey guys, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to RC stuff so hang with me. I just bought a 4.6 savage and want to swallow the buisness end of a shot gun haha.. Me and a buddy who has a savage set it up, when it first fired up it was at normal idle then started screaming then back to normal then...
