Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / August 2005HPI Rotostart info
Hi all, I've just ordered a rotostart for my Savage (I hate pull starts with a passion!), but on the box it states the back plate fits Savage .21 .25 and SS, no mention of the K46. I've also seen on the internet that there is a seperate back plate for the K46. Unfortunately Tower hobbies dont have any atm, and ebay doesn't have any either (spewing I didn't get the one on there a couple of weeks ago). Anyways, my question is why wont the back plate fit?? I would have thought that the engines are all similar there? Or is it the fact that the K46 has an internal one way bearing? I'm not sure about the .21 or the .25 Any hints? Do I *need* the K46 back plate, or will the one in the rotostart kit fit? (It arrives next week) Cheers Dre > Hi all, I've just ordered a rotostart for my Savage (I hate pull starts with > a passion!), but on the box it states the back plate fits Savage .21 .25 [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Cheers Dre Righto! (replying to myself, first sign of madness :) I've managed to locate a K46 back plate in Oz (same place that I'm getting the rotostart from actually, he had one hidden away :) but I need to know if I actually need it before I pay the hard earned. I'm about to go check the HPI forums, but hopefully someone here knows off hand... Thanks all Cheers Dre >> Hi all, I've just ordered a rotostart for my Savage (I hate pull starts > with [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > rotostart >> kit fit?

Order has been placed allready, express post so it'll be here by the w/e, ready for me to install, then kane the sh.t out of :) Lets just hope I get enough time before then to build the 2 new 3000's batteries I bought in cells yesterday for the emaxx, then I'm ready, 2 litres of fuel for the Savage and 10 batteries for the emaxx, 4 of which are new matched 3000's. I'm gonna have me some fun on the w/e :) Cheers Dre > Hi all, I've just ordered a rotostart for my Savage (I hate pull starts with > a passion!), but on the box it states the back plate fits Savage .21 .25 [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Cheers Dre Okay, replying to myself again. No go on the HPI forums, but I've managed to find out anyway. Nitrostar and K series engines from HPI *dont* have compatible back plates. Bugger. Nevermind, I'll order the extra back plate... HTH Cheers Dre >> Hi all, I've just ordered a rotostart for my Savage (I hate pull starts > with [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > HTH I coulda dived in and helped, but it was 4:39am when you posted this and i was sleeping :) SignatureDan > >> Hi all, I've just ordered a rotostart for my Savage (I hate pull starts > > with [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > I coulda dived in and helped, but it was 4:39am when you posted this and i > was sleeping :) Ha, ya pansey :P Bugger that you lot are half way roung the globe eh?

Yea just been watching replays of it on News 24, good to see they made it after what was a rather iffy space mission.

For some reason I thought you were in the states...

Yup, sure was, pretty impressed with the last 5 minutes of flight, dunno how hard it would be to land on of those beast, but I'm sure it wouldn't have been easy! Cheers Dre >> >> I coulda dived in and helped, but it was 4:39am when you posted this > and [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > in > Tassie, Australia So, actually half way round the globe then! >> > Nice touchdown btw for the shuttle last night (or early this morning >> > for [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > hard it would be to land on of those beast, but I'm sure it wouldn't have > been easy! If i can front flip and land my Sav, i think i could handle that ;) SignatureDan > >> >> I coulda dived in and helped, but it was 4:39am when you posted this > > and [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > If i can front flip and land my Sav, i think i could handle that ;) ROFL, thats gold :) You reckon you could chuck in a 360 spin on the approach to the run way as well???? That'd look COOL!! :) Cheers Dre >> >> >> I coulda dived in and helped, but it was 4:39am when you posted >> >> >> this [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] > > Cheers Dre I'm willing to give it a try certainly :-D Now, to convince them to let me fly a shuttle...

Yeah yeah, tell em you have experience flipping/wheeling/rooster tailing/jumping and general air travel with a Savage, I'm sure that would help you along :) I guess since they aren't going to be using the shuttles for a while, maybe we could borrow one or two (2 in case we break one attempting a back flip or something hehehehe) Cheers Dre The backplate for the K series is out: 87127 1 Back Plate unit for Nitro Star K Series w/Pullstart www.sfrchobbies.com |
