Looks like you built a nice little track.

Thanks, and if i could send you guys some of the rain i would. The track is actually bigger than it looks. the lanes are 6ft wide and it is like 45ftX28ft. It should be perfect for small scale vehicles. I could probably even get away with running a couple 1/10 scale buggies on it because it is about the same size as the one that the local hobby shop used to have and they ran 1/10 scale on it. Now it is half way full of water again. I am going to go out and try to drain some of it out of the track.

At least you have the rain............HEHE

We get about 4-5 months of rain over here, which basiclly washes out the tracks during the winter...............................

motor mount i was shown was a mini quake. i was also looking at the Vendetta mount.

Heads up for all the new comers with these little cars. If your stock engine does not run well at all, pull the head and make sure the liner is aligned with the porting inside. There should be a line on the liner you can try to see if it needs to be lined up with the rear casting line.

Wish i had taken a picture of mine when i had it out... sorry hindsight is 20/20...

Hi to everyone. I bought my chaos from ebay recently but i m having serious problems getting it started.

I bought by accident 16% fuel and put it in but its very hard to start and very unstable. Cant run for more than a minute or even less and it drops. Is it the fuel??? is there any possibility to get it started whith this fuel or should i imediately buy 30% ? i new to these things so i dont know much. Any help is really apreciated.

Thanks dimitris

If you want your motor to have a long life then you should get some 30%. 30% is recommended for the smaller motors. I only use 30% in my KMI 09ST's.

I just got done running a couple tanks threw the chaos on the new track and never encountered one problem with the chaos. I was even hitting the jumps at full throttle and they seem to jump pretty good and level. I really need to make the tabletop longer because i was clearing the whole thing. The track was not quite dry from the rain but it was good enough to try out. I can't wait to get some more dirt so i can get the jumps to the way i like them and then i will use a roller on the entire track to make it as smooth as possible. All in all, i can say that for the money that you can get these little buggies for they are a lot of fun. And the two chaos that we got will start really easy and they idle a complete tank without shutting off. I hope to have a video that i can post this weekend of me and my nephew racing on the track. It should be fun.

Thanks for the heads up muck.. I just pulled the head off of mine and the index on the sleeve was at the 11oclock postition. So i pulled the sleeve and realigned it the way it should be. I thought that the little motor ran pretty strong before so maybe this will make it run alot better. If i was all of you, i would check your sleeve asap. I am going to pull my nephews head and check his also. Thanks again for the heads up. Here is a couple pics to show you. The first pic is how it was set from the factory. I am pointing where the index is with a screwdriver. You can see that it is way out of align. The second pic is how it should be set. Just make sure the index is inlign with the back motor casing line.
