Status: offline 		lars i checked out your thread there some very nice work indeed.
must have took a long time to do them both? any vids of them in action?

i have some updates now.

i recieved my other 4 alloy shocks for the beetle gbm cross alloy shocks from hobbythek also i got 2 elcon wheel adaptors they reinforce the rims to make them stronger as my fg weighs quite a lot now and struggles to keep itself from rounding the rims from the weight.got my two fg choke shafts as i keep loosing them,i must put on a little super glue with them this time lol,got my 4 hitek servos one of the large ones for both the carson and fg,four sets of tyres,two fronts and two rears,keep me going for a while,got an intake manifold to replace the cracked one on the carson and three gaskets for it.

now to get them both up and running with some vids!!!

Status: offline 		Thank you!
Sorry,no videos of them yet!I have built the Capri over several years,started the rebuild about two years ago.I started buiding it in 2002 i think,then had a long break,and found this Capri body on the web that fitted the chassi perfectly which got me to start building again.So it is not a new built car,it looked like hell before the rebuild I removed all the old parts untill it was just the frame left,and started from there.I regret i didnt took some photos of it before the rebuild just for the comparasion though.

The Focus didnt took so long to build,but i was pretty nervous when i was to put the jigsaw in the chassi,measured and doublemeasured and pentameasured before i cut it Now i am making some lights in the Focus body,waiting for some resistors (i use LED's) to finish the brakelights

Looking forward to see some new videos of your cars(on)

Status: offline 		lol yes the car son my son lol

i think i might get a few videos of both machines in action tomorrow now all going well,i suppose its all down to the weather, weather it will let me drive or not haha

i will get my bits from hobbythek now in the morning so i cant wait to piece the carson back together and give it some runs..

p.s lars you should also check out my carson onroad thread i just started it up here a new one with pics and some upgrades.

man that capri body is great,well done man that is rare alright.....you would want to take care of that.

so what mix would you recomend for the engine?

i was using 150mill oil to 5 liters a bit rich i think so now im thinking of using 100mill to 5liter ratio,what do you think?

Status: offline 		UPDATE!!


well my package came from hobbythek today four more sets of dtm fg tyres and rims two rears and two fronts,also the intake mani for the solo to replace the one i cracked,MOST IMPORTANTLY the elcon wheel adaptors came for the fg though,my two rear rims had rounded themselves out so these should do the trick lovely,also i got my four servos,two large and two small,all metal geared hiteks.also my four alloy shocks gbm cross ones and my two choke shafts as i keep loosing them lol





should have some good videos now coming as soon as weather allows both onboard the fg and from camera woman (my girlfriend nicola) lol

later

Status: offline 		The recommended mix for these 2 stroke engines (unless they are highly tuned,5%) is 200 ml oil to 5 liter of gasoline (4% oil),so in my opinion the mix sounds a bit lean.
Yes,i am afraid to destroy the Capribody,i cant find it or parts for it anymore Maybe i should have put some steelfenders around the car so the body gets clear if it should crash
I will have a look in your other thread!

Status: offline 		damm everybody seems to have differnt mix recomedations dont they,on my bottle it says 150mill to 5 liters anyway but i suppose like you say there are so many differnt ratings for all oil types.

my engine is a highly tuned one it is an o neills 27.2 stroker race ported engine (zenoah) revs to the moon lol...

i might go back to trying 150 to 5 liters....


that capri body is awesome!!!!!!

love the work you have done on them.

Status: offline 		I have been tought from the first time i looked on a large scale car to use 4% on the stock engine,and if i had this engine you have i would have used 5%.What bottle is saying this?I know on chainsaws and similar there are recommended 2%,but they have about half the rpm's of these engine we use.

I lived for about one week inside the Capri body,spent the time on masking and other things to prepare it for the paint

thanks for the compliments man.

no problem,what ever you need to know all you need to do is ask!!

i too think the shenqi hummer is a great deal,with a few small modds you can turn it in to a really good one.

few things i would like to mention to you about upgrading sometime that may be of a great help!!

cheers
