RE: New clutch..but not really working :/

Oh I misunderstood the question. I thought when you throttled up it would barely move. I am sorry. Most people adjust their throttle till the clutch does this. They believe it allows you to take off...

RE: New clutch..but not really working :/

Was it working like this before you changed the clutch? If so it may not be the clutch. It may be the transmission or one of the dog bones. It can be a lot of things. If you have one wheel not biting...

RE: kyosho inferno mp6

Tires are pretty standard size and have been for years. As far as the stripped motor mounts re-tap them to a slightly bigger size. I bet you can find a lexan body just about anywhere. Remember if you...

RE: What type of nitro fuel do you prefer?

Nope, and with the price of fuel reaching around $42/ gallon I decided to make my own. You do need to know how to mix it though. If you mix it wrong you can blow your engine. I have mixed plane fuel...

No problem at all. It is an easy conversion. I have been thinking of doing it myself.

RE: What type of nitro fuel do you prefer?

     I make my own fuel. And sell it to my local club members at a discounted rate so they too can reap the benefit of lower fuel prices.

RE: Annoying people at the field.

I honestly would have left that club and started my own or joined another club near enough for me to drive. My solo flight was my 6th flight. Everyone was surprised when my instructor told me to...

RE: How to mount RC's on Rack/Wall?

I got in touch with him and he got out of the hobby. Even sold the rack. He is looking through photo albums to see if he has any pictures. If not I will draw up a schematic of what he used to have.

RE: XTM XT2 engine life?

The OWB is a problem for my son's car also. I take it out about every 10 runs and clean it with 3 in one oil. Use an old toothbrush to scrub it then soak it in 3 in one oil overnight. While I have it...

RE: Flywheel issues

It should not damage the piston if you use a zip tie or soft wood like pine; which most popscicle sticks are made of. Just make sure you do not leve a piece of plasyic or wood in the engine.

RE: Annoying people at the field.

I agree a perfect record can be accomplished. It is very hard but the instructor should always check the plane with his student. The best way to avoid an equipment malfunction is to catch it on the...

RE: will a hyper 8 steering knuckle fit a hyper 7?

It should fit. There is not much design difference between the two. I think the steering was not touched from the hyper 7 to 8.

It should work. The ESC does not push the amps to the motor. The motor draws the amps. Just keep in mind that you can harm the motor since it may draw too many amps. However, most people run ESC's...
