RE: Carbon fibre or titanium

carbon fiber chassis wouldnt be able the handle the heat from the engine for very long, and would soon disfigure. Unless you have some form of heat resistant engine mount, good luck with that,...

RE: Rich mixture does not produce blue smoke on the exhaust!

you dont want it to be spitting out fuel from the exhaust... then its too rich and you probably wont be able to smoke because so much fuel isnt being burned. Tune for preformance, under 250f, and you...

RE: When I brake I stall.. hmm HELP!!

RE: When I brake I stall.. hmm HELP!!

turn up your idle and make sure theres a hole there when you're breaking. Set your throttle trim so when you let off the throttle, it returns to the idle speed.

RE: Cleaning the car......

I use rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle, and a compressor. Spray it on, let it soak in, but not dry up, and then blow all the crud off the car.

99c for a quart should be cheap enough for you,...

RE: first nitro car....

yea, definately get rid of that nitro star crap engine, 32mph isnt what I would consider as a fast nitro car. Fit a .18 CVR into it and you should get 50-55mph easy. I get 58mph in my ntc3+ with...

RE: new nitro car

ntc3+ rtr = $300, but you should probably get the kit and slap your own engine/radio into it for a better preforming car... The stock engine is fine, but the radio is what you want to change..
