RE: Engine ShutDown

If you wait for your car to idle down and then touch the flywheel with your finger, it should stop almost instantly. You won't hurt your finger, or lean out the engine (pinching fuel line) or pack...

RE: Building a kit for the first time.

I bought the Hyper 7 PBS RTR for my first car. I have to say that trying to build a kit straight up the first time must seem confusing and intimidating to newbies, as it would've been for me. I...

RE: Engine and Pipe Decision.

I disagree. I still think you should go with the JP-1. As most people have commented, the idea is to match your pipe to your engine's strength. Trying to get more top-end out of an O.S. RG through...

RE: what engine does the tq have?

RE: what engine does the tq have?

I wasn't aware there was an RTR available for the Hyper 7 TQ. That would seem to defeat the whole purpose of the kit and the choices you can make. Look closely at the picture I've attached from the...

RE: Hyper 7 PBS Breakin

I don't know why anyone hasn't mentioned it yet, but heat is your friend when trying to start a new "tight" engine. Get out a heat gun or hairdryer and pre-heat the motor. When I went to start my...

RE: Engine and Pipe Decision.

I only have experience with the OS RG and the JP-1 pipe. I'm quite happy with the value/performance ratio. As you say:

RE: Tire clean up with acetone.

RE: looking for part number please

If you're looking at getting a starter box, why not spring for the chrome top? It is also available at Nitrohouse (but currently out of stock I see). A much, much, much better box in my opinion.

RE: HOW: 2nd LSN adjustment
