Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / December 2006Took the Savage out last night
And hooooollllllleeeeee shhhiiiiiiiiiittt it went hard. Been a while since I've had a steer of it. I believe I have successfully blown the cobwebs out, hehehehe! Anyway, I put a tank through it and when I got it back I went to check to see if the piston was a TDC (habit from run-in). The flywheel and clutch bell were FEECKING hot. I dont remember clutch bells and flywheels getting that hot or am I tripping out? Cheers Dre > And hooooollllllleeeeee shhhiiiiiiiiiittt it went hard. Been a while > since I've had a steer of it.

Truck didn't seem to have any clutch slippage that I could tell, it launched hard every time and sounded normal. I must be tripping out, LOL!

The bunch of psycho's had a huge motorcycle jump out on Sunday and they were destroying trucks left right and centre. If you get a chance drop in and checkout some of the movies. I have never really checked the temp at the flywheel but being connected to the main shaft of the motor I can understand how it could get hot. If the main bearing on the motor or the bearings in the clutch bell are nuked that could cause a little excessive heat too as could buggered clutch shoes dragging. Cheers >> And hooooollllllleeeeee shhhiiiiiiiiiittt it went hard. Been a while > since [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > Cheers Nope, but keen though, got a link??? (nitrobashers.com??) Bearings are all good as I had the clutch apart a while back. I kinda would expect it to get hot as well cause like you say its part of the engine, but it just surprised me how hot it was.... I might take the Inferno out for a razz and see how hot it gets. Cheers Dre > >> And hooooollllllleeeeee shhhiiiiiiiiiittt it went hard.

When I quickly looked yesterday I noticed some Tassie members too! Sick! Might see if I can hook up with them for a bash! Cheers Dre : > www.nitrobashers.com : > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] : : Cheers Dre don't they have health and safety over there? I have to have insurance for indoor carpet racing. > : > www.nitrobashers.com > : > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > for > indoor carpet racing. Health and safety!?!?!? Nope not that I know of, but then I'm keen to run off road outside so I guess the only thing I need to worry about is a flying truck hitting me in the head, LOL! Insurance of indoor carpet racing, nuts! What are they worried about? Burnt fingers due to hot motors? LOL! Cheers Dre > : > www.nitrobashers.com > : > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > for > indoor carpet racing. Is that in the UK? I think you only need insurance when you're racing at a club - and most clubs have membership fees that cover it as far as I know.

I think you only need insurance when you're racing at a : club - and most clubs have membership fees that cover it as far as I know. it is indeed the uk. club membership is approx £12 per club. insurance is another £12 but is transferable to other clubs and covers nitro too. If you sign up independent of a club its an extra £2. 3 million of third party cover. my heli insurance is £25. > : > : Cheers Dre > : > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > my heli insurance is £25. Ahhh, 3rd party cover, now that makes sense, bloody public liability! Cheers Dre |
