HELP: bent chassis?

Need some help with my XLB. When everything is put together and I roll it forward, the front wheels get stuck after several inches. I'm thinking it's a bent chassis or some other bent part because...

RE: Want to get into RC hobby, need some advice!!

If anyone took my advice of running their nitro inside their house, maybe that's natural selection at work. Since the weather here in So Cal never gets miserably cold like other parts of the...

Do rear spoilers actually work?

Not sure if this has already been discussed...but does a rear spoiler actually have any effect on the performance or are they just all cosmetic?

RE: Advice!!!

Another thing to keep in mind is availability to spare parts. When you're bashing, things break. So I think another thing to consider is your source of spare parts. If you have a local guy that...

RE: Want to get into RC hobby, need some advice!!

After reading your posts, I don't think you're ready for a nitro. You'll get frustrated trying to get it started and keep it running and will eventually get rid of it. You should probably stick...

RE: XTM 1/7 XLB

I was taking apart my XLB to put on a new gear that I bought and three little balls came rolling out. Look like ball bearings but I'm not sure where they belong. Anyone know where these came from?...

RE: XTM 1/7 XLB

Was out bashing on Sunday and after about 10 - 15 minutes, I noticed that it wasn't changing gears. I took the body off and discovered that one of the gears was beat up. Some teeth were missing...

RE: Southern California Tracks? (mainly Mission Viejo area)

Hopefully you're not a 15 year old freshman. That would be scary. Good luck on the backyard track. That sounds like fun. I've never built my own track but have done some yard work that required...

RE: Pour friendly nitro bottles???

Ahhhhh!!! Brilliant. Sometimes the answers are right in front of you but you need someone else to show them to you. Now I'll have more nitro for my buggy instead of spilling it on my garage floor.

I'm new to nitros and only on my second gallon of nitro. Is there a brand of fuel that is easy to pour? It seems like whenever I pour nitro from the main jug to my travel bottle (even with a...

RE: XTM 1/7 XLB

I'm getting back to you but too bad I don't have any answers to your questions. I just go out and bash my XLB. As long as it's running to my satisfaction, the only time I tinker is if I break...

RE: Southern California Tracks? (mainly Mission Viejo area)

I'm 31. And it seems like the best spot (so far) is the elementary school down the street from my house. It's not too exciting since it's the playground field with a dirt baseball diamond and a...

RE: Glow plugs

I'd be interested in hearing the response to your problem. I have the similar problem but not quite as accelerated. I usually burn through one after about 3 tanks. My temps are hovering around 250...

RE: ???

I spoke with one of the hobby shop guys about this. He said one way to check is to put your hand right next to the exhaust while the motor is running. Of course, don't put your hand on the muffler...

RE: Lessons learned from a nitro noob

My car (as well as all other cars) does not require mixing oil with some other fluid. There's a definite limit to stop adding oil. My weedwacker (and lawnmower) are electric. But thanks for the...

RE: Lessons learned from a nitro noob

I live in Southern California and "gold diggers" are the norm. The women who aren't gold diggers aren't attractive enough to go digging. Thus they have to settle for someone with a boring four door...

RE: Lessons learned from a nitro noob

RE: Changing Fuels

I thought it's ok to go lower % nitro to higher % nitro (but never the other way around). Is this true? I'm almost done with my first gallon of 20% and want to try 30%.
