Old bloke returns...

Hi every one!

I've been away from RC cars for about 20 years, but as my little boy is now old enough to be showing an interest, I thought it would be a good excuse to get back into it myself :-)

RE: CDI conversion for GX 25

Thanks very much! I saw this thread before. I guess what I was hoping to find was an 'off the shelve' solution for a GX25. I think I'll stick with the flywheel/magneto system for the time being. :-)

Carr Precision still trading?

Hi all,

I've sent a couple of e-mails to them in the last week asking if they'd ship a prop adapter to the UK for me. I've not had any replies. It may be because they don't ship outside of the...

RE: Honda GX25 - Self tapping screws?

Thanks. It looks as though the threads are standard fine threads, just that the screws cut them as there is a lot of swarf in there.

Hi there,

RE: popping at idle

Thanks for you replies. It has never been up to high power so maybe when it does, it'll clear the tubes out!

Hi all,

I'm just getting used to my new P80SE on the bench before putting it in a Sprint. I have noticed that at idle rpm, there is a fair bit of 'popping' from the exhaust end, accompanied by a...

Certainly no mention of it anywhere in my manual, I guess they've taken it out. I was cautious about starting it up like this unless I could be sure of shutting it down safely! I...

Do you think there is any chance it will still do wheelies with the standard pipe? My engine is a 26cc one and it is well run-in and tuned. It is fun having that acceleration on hand from a stand...

Hi,

It's an FG 3 piece pipe going under a Monster Beetle body. It looks like I won't have to cut too much... Having said that, I might just stick to the standard exhaust for the time being!
