I have some little things left over, I wanted to keep some of these for collection, however money is tight, so these stuff have to go! Please don't lowball, because even if money is tight, I...

    Which is better Heat Cycle or Factory Recommended Break-in?

    Sorry, I have aready left the hobby, and the RB X12 that was lapped was sold. I'm not sure if the guy that purchased the engine still have the engine. As for how long the engine last, I'll help you fine out. Everyone have their own way of breaking-in their engine, so that "properly" break-in...

    my 2 speed is not shifting, please help

    This could be one of the problem or the adjusting screw is still too tight. I will mess around with it untill you get it to shift. I'm sure 3 turn isn't enought to get the car to shift (still too long of a shift). Back it out a little, just 1/2 of a turn out. I would also add just a tad bit of...

    Hot Bodies Nitro Tornado RTR ?

    My older brother had one. It was a decent car, if parts were more availible for it, then it will make it a good car. The only flaws is that the chassis isn't stiff, there are flexing in the chassis because the engine brace is not stiff enough to prevent the flex. Another thing is the pivot ball...

    Which is better Heat Cycle or Factory Recommended Break-in?

    The engine ran 3 gallons and still, it had tight compression, even fully broken into. Denis Richie and rc boat racer have been using this type of break-in proceedure for years, with no problem. It was introduce to me by Maurice Davis, one of Denis Richies buddy or something. Now if your worry...

    Throttle Return Spring - Slide Carb

    I would talk to the inspector about why O ring cannot be used. As long it's fully functional and pasted inspection, I don't see why can't you use a o ring. I think a O ring on the carb arm is a lot more safe than a TRS on a servo arm. The only thing I think they will worry about is that the O...

    Which is better Heat Cycle or Factory Recommended Break-in?

    I'm surprise that no one has mention "lapping the piston" as a break-in proceedure yet... When a new engine is produced and sold to consumers, the piston and sleeve are NOT a perfect fit, therfore you have to lap it to make a perfect fit. Attach a drill to the end of the crank, remove the...

    Did my LHS $crew me?

    Glad it worked out, but I don't know if anyone mentions it, but you should of ask the employee what is applied to the restocking fee? If he can't answere you in the right way, then it's BS. Restocking fees only applies to ANY product that is not returned "like new condition" IE missing contents...

    ARO = Marvel Mystery Oil?

    Both are same or nearly the same if some don't agree to it. I would just go ahead and buy a qt of MMO since I also use it to lube my air tools and a few other things... They are also great if you own quite a few nitro cars or engines....

    Piston rings?

    Your right, it's a groove, there is a misprint on the picture or something.... A few years ago, someone did a project on their beater engines and came up with something interesting. He grooved his piston and was able to get longer life out of it. I forgot everything aready, since it's not a...

    engine hopup?

    Few thousands is like shaving nearly the whole top of the sleeve or bottom of the head. What tools will you be using to measure the EXACT amount you will shave off? You need to be very precise to shave 1-hundred thousandth of a inch. Thats about the thickness of a hair. It can be done, but you...

    please help

    I use to own a NRS4-2 a few years ago and purchase a Nova C12 with a slide carb a few months after the car was purchase. I also bought a slide carb engine. In order to get the carb working with the current servo position, you will need to set up a whole new linkage. If you think it's too...

    fuel filter....

    The built in filter never gave me any problems, but I agree, better safe than sorry, so you could install a inline filter for insurance. I would also install one on the pressure line as well. Small metal shaving/chipping can get into the tank from the engine or rust in the pipe. You will more...

    My brand new V-one RR stalls when placed on the ground or brake applied

    If your idle is too high, then bring it down some, if your clutch is engaging too early, then you can adjust it since it is 3d(centax). The adjusting nut that holds the spring will need to be screwed in about a 1/8 of a turn. Maybe less depending on how you like it. Look over the instruction...

    failsafe

    It's not suppose to work if you turn off the remote, because the receiver still have power suplied to it. In order to test to see if the TRS is good, leave the engine off, turn on transmittor and receiver, open full throttle.... Then turn off the receiver switch. If the spring pulls the servo...

    failsafe

    No failsafe will help if a battery falls out again or the lines get disconnected/cut. I would also invest in both, throttle return spring and failsafe. Here was my set up, you can see a O ring around the carbs neck, it acts like a return spring and pulls the servo back to neutral when no...
