Status: offline 		Er it quick enough still getting the carb settings sorted but with every adjustment it gets quicker. I reckon i'm on the limit now though i've got the needle set to about 2-1,3/4 turns it grips like hell with the standard tyres on though

Status: offline 		iv just found this on the deagostine web site (http://www.deagostini.co.uk/nitroracer/)

I seem to get some kind of signal intereference that makes my car go out of control, what can I do?

Signal interference from CB (citizens band) users may be the problem,
they use the same 27Mhz frequency band, this is for general surface use.

A 'fail safe' device can be installed, this will help protect your car from
going out of control due to interference. The other option would be to
upgrade your current radio gear to a 40Mhz system, this band is for
surface model use only.

Status: offline 		my mates got this car. it may lack top end speed but its accelleration is the same as my hyper 7 tq and the turning circle is awesome. we had a drag race between a hyper 7 (mine), a hot bodies lightning and this car and it kept up for the first few metres but its limited top speed meant that it didnt keep up long.

on a tight windy track though it would be brilliant.

heres a video. (its not great) here (right click and save as)
