Thanks Rob,

I'm having a few prob's with my car at the moment and have stripped and greased the diff's. The drive shafts are a pain as the little pegs at either end seem to wear away very quickly and then you lose the drive to the wheels. A way around this is to file the stubs flat and drill through the ball ends, then temper new pegs and solder them in position. I guess it's just one of those jobs you have to do every now and then.
The range of the Smartech rx/tx is very poor. Mine loses the signal beyond approx. 40 metres. - beware of this.
Also unlike aero engines you can't get an instant response to tuning. The needle valves on the aero engines are superb and you hear a definate increase in revs when you tweak them in. Tuning the Smartech motor is mission impossible, it seems to change each time I run the model, plus the idle is hopeless.
Just got a very comprehensive list of parts for the Smartech speedy tiger from time tunnel models here in the UK. Give 'em a try if you need parts.

All for now,


regards,
