I'm not clear on the problem with the TS4n, can you explain a bit more?

Fuel for the Hyper, 25% if you can get hold of it, 20% if not. It will run with 16, but not as well as it will with 20+. You may even need a different glow plug to get it to run with 16%.

thanks well the engine was to lean and led to fuel leaking and leaving a rusting mark on the cylinder and metal parts.etc
and flooded easily due to the amount of fuel being pumped through

can i get these rusting marks off?

and are the wheels meant to be loosish?? because since i crashed it flat out i cant remember + the wheels dont run straight!!

help [&o] hehe

I think you might mean the engine was too rich, unless I'm still misunderstanding...where is the fuel pissing out from exactly? There's nothing you can do if your internals of your engine are scarred, except replce the damaged parts. I would suggest to just get another cheap .12 engine and tune it a bit more carefully this time.

As for your wheels, no they shouldn't wobble too much, check the rods and ball ends in the steering system for bends or looseness, and replace whatever is necessary. Have an experienced person check the car over for you, as it doesn't sound like you have the expertise to successfully diagnose all the potential problems you may have. Of course I mean no offense by this, I had a ts4n for my first nitro car and I also destroyed my engine and crashed it plenty.
