Does anyone own a Vanguard Sports? I am currious....

Thanks,
Keith

thanks andy

I finally placed my parts order through excelhobby.com (thanks guys) who seem to be located in New york state, according to their area code... They use Paypal secured payment, so I should be getting the parts within a few days.

One of the parts I ordered was the 'Carson' buggy manual, which is supposed to be the original 'Smartech Speedy Tiger/Winner Sport/Speedmaster VH-X5'. I did this because the part numbers on their website are nothing like the manual I got with my buggy. I think it was only a couple bucks or so... It is in the list of spare parts for the 10341, 10342, and 10343 cars. They also sell a two speed transmission for $19.99 for those with the single speed, 'Speedy Tiger'.

does anyone know if the smartech cluth and flywheel will fit the hpi t-15 nitro star motor.thnx

hi,
does anybody know of a upgrade for the radio tray because i want one that is carbon fiber
it would be much thanks

zack

oh, what about that list we where making on parts that fit the smartech buggy

zack

what we need is a website dedicated to this disgusting addiction known as a winner-sport. atleast we can categorize what works for replacement parts. list what resources we've come across to make our cars a lil more reliable and still maintain the forum. Even a list of cars wirh what mods. so when i burn my clutch like i did i look up andy's car and see oh look at that he has yadda yadda clucth and he says it great. so i order it. and zach has these rims so i order a set.

i dunno. this list thing we've tried is on its third life already.

oh ya don't ask me to do it. i'm to lazy. i'm just throwin the idea out there.

I know my teflon clutch fits a HPI model i will look it up think it was an upgrade for an RS4, will post more when i know

Today i decided to drive my winner sport, it has not been driven in about 2 -3 weeks, and it started first pull. After driving it for a while i realised the shocks need re filling will oil, and the clutch bearing needs re-greasing.

How would I get to the clutch bearing, and can it be done without touching the allen key bolt on the end which is supposed to adjust gear shift timing.

Thanks

Jake

well your wrong! The screw at the end holds the clutch bell on. You need to take off the fuel tank and then that screw, then the bell should come off.

Thanks i will pull it apart and have a look

what type of glow plug is best for my stock engine (SMT winner 3) using 16% fuel

is it a hot one i need?

yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, check out my car after a good day of backyard bashing





check out my front left wheel, disconneted from steering while driving,

nice man. looks very similar. bash sessions usually end when something breaks

Thats shocking Zach!!
Its funny i look at those pictures and i know all the parts which are loose or need replacing straight away

Where did you take it! A swamp :P Nice cooling head, or is it a new engine?

Ryan.

its a new engine ryan. my car is fixed just a part came loose and i had to tighten it back on. i did loose a part of my shocks, but i have a spare

The comment on removing the clutch bell.. Who said that allen head screw was for adjusting shift timing? I never heard of that before... All the clutch does is allow the engine to idle without driving forward.
I would think any shift adjustments would have to be made at the transmission??? Different springs?

Mark

the shift point is on the tranny itself not the clutch bell

hey.........got duratrax evader shocks on sale on ebay................direct fit for Smartech speedy tiger and Smartech winnerr sport buggy....adjustable...........worked a treat on mine............selling only to the UK [link=http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/4-Duratrax-Evader-Adjustable-Shocks_W0QQitemZ6039424574QQcategoryZ34063QQssPage NameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem]DURATRAX ADJUSTABLE SHOCKS[/link] <<<<link

I found what i was looking for about the gear shift timing on the winner sport

I though i read it somewhere, i must have got confused about the allen key screws

does anyone know which way to adjust the tranny shift timing screw? a statement like - "clockwise turn of the screw holds first gear longer" - would be helpful. (I don't know if that statement is true, just asking) thanks!

hey, i just got a new winner sport 3 and i would like to know what kind of engine upgrades that are possible with this car. i'm pretty new with this whole nitro car thing so any help that anyone could give me would be very much appreciated! thnx

Engine upgrades are determined on how much you want to spend.But since your new the best thing to do is: install a failsafe and either buy an os carb (good carbaurator ask you local hobby shop about it) or leave your engine standard.

I think clockwise shorterns the gear and anti clockwise holds the gear longer
