    K4.6 vs F4.6??

    The F4.6 is definitely the better performing engine. The K4.6 is identical to the Axial 28, and isn't a great engine.

    Pullstart problem

    That method works well too, but I prefer to wind the majority of the string onto the spool before placing it in the PS housing. Then it's just a matter of a single extra winding to tension it.

    Pullstart problem

    Getting rid of the slack is pretty easy. With the spring and spool in place, rotate the the spool counterclockwise by hand until you have about 10cm of slack in the string. While holding the spool in place to prevent it from springing back, wrap the excess string around the spool in a...

    which mill?

    I currently run a Picco 28, previously an LRP Spec3, and I can tell you that both of these engines will smoke the competition. If you're going to get a new engine, get one of those 2. I give the edge to the Picco in terms of raw power, but the LRP has the advantage of being easier to break in...

    Dyno Chart of an AB Mods Picco P3

    Good god that's a lot of torque, and over such a broad RPM range. Nice work.

    Pullstart problem

    You may have cracked the sleeve around the one-way bearing. Sidewinder Race only contains 12% lubricant, only 2% of which is castor oil (The other 10% being synthetic lubricants), so it doesn't cause the OWB to slip under normal circumstances. Remove the engine's backplate and inspect the...

    roto start vs. pull start

    I've never liked Roto-Start units, mostly due to the terrible quality of the hand-held starter. I ended up breaking about 3 before I started using a high speed cordless drill. Now I exclusively use pull-start units, as a properly tuned engine is never too hard to start, and I don't have to carry...

    [New Product] Pro-Line Caliber Tires

    Any info on the foam inserts? I have the "old generation" inserts, and I'm wondering how the new ones are different.

    quick fix for a slashed tire

    This is a decent quick fix, but if you don't need to repair it within minutes, it would be better to use rubber cement. That would give you a flexible bond that will withstand impact. CA glue has very little shear strength and might split apart during use.

    Some opinions would be great

    Removing the anodizing will only decrease the surface hardness of the parts. It won't effect the strength. It will also change the dimensions of the parts by a few micrometers, but that shouldn't be a problem. As for the original question, I have used the Integy parts you mentioned. They are...

    Hard to start

    It's called vapor lock, and it's completely normal. When the engine is running, the constant flow of fuel through the carburetor keeps the fuel port fairly cool, below the boiling range of the fuel. When you shut the engine off, this flow stops, and the port heats back up again. When you try to...

    Lrp z.28r s3 break in, how many tanks?

    It depends on which fuel you are running. High-end fuels like Byrons contain extremely good lubricants, so if you are using something like that, it will take forever to completely break the engine in. Low-end fuels like HPI and Traxxas fuel don't lubricate as well, and will allow your engine to...
