Just thought i would say hi and tell you a little about myself.

I'm Phil, 32 and live in the Uk

I used to have a Traxxas 15 (sorry if a littlevague as unsure full spec) when i was younger but i brokethe Ezzee start and it was left gathering dust soIsold it, no sooner hadIdone soIregretted it and had no other option than to get another (i missed the smell of nitro)
I was initially drawn to Traxxas again as i liked the Ezzee starts andconsidered them a good make and started looking at the 3.3 4Tec's but after a little digging decided against as i wanted more than straight line speed and as I'm in the UK and the roadsaren'tthatgreat so a flat racer would be ill advised.

Sonow after a fair bit of looking into thingsI've ended up with a Ansmann Hogzilla with a SH .28 and Ansmann/Sanwa W3 2.4Ghz Handset andreceiver, i never thought about going this big (1/8) but glad i have and find it great fun especially as i can rip it across the local putting green

I would say I'M fairly new to this and would greatlyappreciate any hints/tips you could give me in maintaining/running my hog, any hop ups/upgrades you would suggest (as i like to have things at the best they can be)

To start with whats the best glow plug and fuel to use with the SH .28 and where is the best place to get Hop ups and mods for the Hogzilla, at the moment I'M looking to start with upgrade the exhaust and airfilter
Many thanks Phil

Os glow plugs are always great. Traxxas or o'donnel fuel, both i use and both are good.Some say the traxxas is a lil less consistant, and makes it harder to tune, i think its fine.O'Donnel is supposedly easier to tune and holds a tune better, i think they are close, maybe just the engine i was using or something.Jac race fuel ive used, that was decent too. And ive used byrons as well.As you see, i try about everything to get the best out of my engine. Byrons or traxxas, one of those.Ran the best for me.And os plugs, #8 long, medium is usually the most common.Depends on the temp though, colder outside, you want a hotter plug.Hotter out, you want a colder plug.

Oh, and welcome to RCU.

cheers for the help<div>do you have any idea where i could get a tricky exhaust and air filter, the ones I'M finding in the UK are pretty bog standard </div><div>cheers</div>

No idea on that.Check the engine or monster truck forums.Should get some help there.
