I'm also building the same car from the magazine and have got it running and also have had bit of a bump in it but heres what me and my mate did to repair it. We're also in the process of making some new front wishbones DON'T YA JUST LOVE ALUMINIUM?

richs2000

does it seem to go fast do you have any videos of it in action.

ross_jsy

didnt u get the vid that came with the first issue. i watched it for the first time this morning and it doesnt look fast but it does handle very well

aisin

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

yea me 2 done mine all complete having lil probs with radio range it loses signal after 10 metres ne 1 help

ross_jsy

try all new batteries. if that doesnt work then a new receiver and/or a new transmitter. you should put a failsaife on in case it runs off. wats it like

richs2000

kl what issue is the exhurst in. ny 1?

richs2000

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.

yea i just ran it the prob was with koyosho transmitter piece ov crap changed transmitter workin fine its not rapid as i thought but it will do for now

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) [link=http://www.geocities.com/sphongleboards/adams.avi]here[/link] (right click and save as)

also the tranny dosent seem very good i using the ranger from the subrau seems to work better also be careful not to snap the lil nozzle from fuel tank to exhaust with pull starter some times it snaps from your hand if you dont have good grip of it but dosent it look mean dudes

richs2000

the videos awsum this is my first nitro 1 as all the others where electrics how does it fair against electrics ny 1 know. whats the brake ldoes it work

reptillian punk

ok so brake works good m8 u need it as this car has no reverse mine finally all runin was thrashin it to day so much it blew exhaust gasket right out and full thrash i would say top end 35-40 mph and it grips like mad even smoked tyres cornering full throttle it is pretty good car but it doesnt seem very robust i spent 10 mins thrashing it then i had strip it fix ehaust gasket that took couple hoursi took it out again thrashed another 10 ish mins then it lost drive so i spent next couple hrs stripping it down again to check out clutch i not put it back together yet so i dunno i couldnt see ne thin wrong with it so i confused i try again to morrow so guys i would prepare my self for a frustrating couple of weeks while we try and bed our cars in

Goaferboy

my car (hyper 7 tq) has a top end of around 35-40mph and this car certainly doesnt keep up so i think that estimate was a bit optimistic. its still an awesome car though. its just more suited to a small windy area

Goaferboy

my mate just checked the website and it says a top speed of 40KPH which is 25MPH. its pretty good for a .12 engine. im thinking of getting one

richs2000

hope fully if im gd im gettin fule on saturday. how many tanks did u guys run the car in with. have you fitted fuel filters. still cant find duck eg blue spray pain !!

richs2000

this is my car looks gd hey as you can see its already for paint. and this is my tamyia tb-01

ross_jsy

i am not going to take it off road so i am not going to fit fuel filters. anyway doesnt it come with break in instructions. if not then thats annoying

reptillian punk

the instruction on how to run in your car is in 1 of the issues i recomend 3 full turns of the mixture gauge big 1 that twists set ur idle small screw driver 3-4 tanks should b fine but run it 3min intervals get temps up to 200'c let it cool 10 mins then over 1-2 tanks gradually decrease the mixture it would be better if you had temp gun at hand i ran mine that way an i found prob also my no drive prob turned out to b exhaust blockage the paper gasket disintergrated and had gathered up in silencer hehe WELL THRASHED!

richs2000

what mixture of fule did you use

BA-Apoc

The pure ten is really a beginners model so all these people slagging it off, ure confusing what is designed to be a beginners model with a racing model.

i've collected the pure ten model from nitro racer and it runs really well i use a need;e setting of 2 & 1/3 if u run it below 2 ure gonna wear the engine out quickly.

when u start running it, run it at about 3 turns get a few tanks (3-4) of fuel through it ( recommend 16% as its not too fussy) then with each tank click it down a notch or two. don't try running it on the ground for the first 3 tanks cos u'll flood it out or make it dry out, remember its a dry new simple engine. also don't run it wight the body shell on for the first few runs 1/2 litre of fuel minimum as it'll overheat and conk out.

Easiest way to start it is stick on a glow starter, give it 5 secs and then slowly pull out the starter cord to full length. let it settle and then rip i a few times, once u get it run in u can normally start it on the first pull.

note to those who think it's not powerful, with the right settings and some mods like a tuned pipe it can tear down the road. i should know cos after about a week of running it my housemate had a go and maxed it into a kerb destroying the entire bumper into 4 pieces. ( need to back order the bumper issue :P) chassis held up well only minor scratching and dents nothing a small file can't smooth out.

it'll take at least a litre of glow fuel before it runs stably i'll upload some pics of the temporary repaired car till i get a new bumper in next post.

richs2000

gd luck fixen it, how much have people paid for their glow starters and for getting the car running fule,fillters etc..
where are you guys running your cars the ground clearence looks pritty gd for a touring car.
