A friend of mine had a similiar problem. It turned out to be old fuel which wasn't stored properly. An easy way to tell if your fuel has gone bad....poor a little on your skin (away from any open wounds of course). If its cool and light, kinda like alcohol, its good. If it feels room temp...

Well, I've only owned one buggy, so my opinion may be a little biased, but the Kyosho Inferno is a very good buggy. They have at least 3 kits available.... Inferno MP 7.5 Sport (more of a beginers kit, which is what I have) - comes with a GS .21 Sport engine, which pretty much blows. And to...

Ah, gotcha, I missed the hex opening on the nut. Getting it nice and tight I see how that'll hold it in place. I couldn't get it very tight using pliars on the smooth shaft. The buggy is going to need a new everything between the gear and the engine, so I'm going to try out a 3 shoe clutch...

Woohoo, I just got two new engines for each of my cars. A fantom for my Adam Drake and the Ofna Picco O-1 BP for my kyosho. I've got a couple questions... All my previous RC engines used a flat spot on the crank shaft to seat the flywheel. I'm not sure I explained that well, the crank...

XXX-NT & Kyosho buggy

Is a 3 shoe clutch better than a 2 shoe clutch? I'm thinking it just grabs better since it has the extra shoe. Grabs better, slips less, more low end power?

xmas bonus = new toys, well at least as much as my woman will let me spend, so I'm looking for some opinions on what to get. Currently I have a Kyosho Inferno 7.5 sport, And I'm selling a car to help buy a new XXX-NT Inferno upgrades already in place: Front/Rear CVDs hardend chassie...

Ok, so I'm not that mechanically inclined. In the past, when my first engine started running like crap I just bought a new one. I didn't think I would be able to take one apart and replace worn out parts, but today I got bored and took apart an engine. After seeing it in pieces I think I can...

What I have... HPI Nitro Monster Truck (4WD) with OS-CV .15 engine (<1 gal) Front/Rear CVDs 2 sets of tires and rims (dirt/street) 2 speed trans Aluminum rear shocks few other misc upgrades bag o parts I also have a Futaba controler for it if interested. I like racing, but there...

np = Nitro Pirate :) no problem

Buggy

I race at a hard packed clay oval, well, twice now :) The fastest guys there run foams, but I can not find any for 1/8 scale. I've checked at 4 different LHS and every on-line shop I know of....nadda. Anybody know where I can find some?

I'd say it depends on what you want to do. Bashing - TMaxx or HPI Savage, personally I'd go with the Savage just because I don't like the slow TMaxx's :) Bashing and Racing - RC10 or XXX-NT, much faster, much more fun to race, lots of competition. These trucks can really grow, I've seen...

My favorite is 1/8th scale dirt oval. Why? Because its the only kind of racing I can afford to get into :) But if money wasn't an issue.... Nascar - defintally a fun race, most cars are fairly equal, lots of racing. Sort tracks are nearly a demolition derby, and the superspeedways really...

I recently got a buggy, here is what I've found out so far... ITS A BLAST :)

Every RC web page I visit has something about the tmaxx. But at my two local tracks I've only seen one once....and it didn't look like it was running all that great. Actually I'm the only guy at either track with a 1:10 4wd truck, excluding the one rare appearnace of the tmaxx. I find...

According to the manual....there may or may not be a low side needle adjustment. Maybe not those exact words, but it definitally implied that it may or may not have a LSN adjustment. I've looked at the engine...the screw where the LSN should be is tight, I mean really tight, far tighter than...

I see guys with I swear 2 feet of fuel line between pipe & tank and between tank & carb. Is there a point to this or do some people just think it looks cool?

Well, I'm not so upset about the engine now. I found two things which made a big difference... 1. The header had been slowly working itself loose and the exhaust was leaking, I just thought it was loud because this was my first time at an indoor track and everybody else was running 1:10 at...

ARG ARG ARG, damnit damnit damnit!! I get my HPI truck fixed and running good with new engine. I get my 1:8 buggy delivered, built and somewhat tuned (boo sport engine). All ready for some racing tomorrow....and its going to rain!!!! arrrrggghhhh!!! :doh: ahh, feel better now :)
