Arrrrgh!
It's been almost three weeks since I stank up my yard or the track with
nitro fumes!  ;-(  I had my wife playing with the Kanai 3 the other day, but
she had the controls, not me.  If I don't jump somethin' soon I'm gunna go

Got my car finally running right at WOT.  It tries to take off
sometimes when it's idling, and it's not because the servo is stuck or
moving at all.  I've tried to adjust the idle, but it either tries to
go on its own, or it stalls.  Anyway...I will get that figured out here

Just wanted to know if anyone had fab-ed up a bracket for throttle servo?
On mine, the little eyelets for the mounting screws shattered and insted
of buying a cover, is there an aftermarket bracket or should i just
replace the the piece w/ the eyelets?

Fellas,
New little 1/16th nitro buggy released this month by Sportwerks to compete
with the IRC Vulcan and soon-to-be-released Kyosho Mini-Inferno nitro buggy.
Reviews I've read are mixed.  Some love it, some hate it.  Some have had

I have build and messed around with a few electrics, but that was
almost 10 years ago.  This past weekend, I bought an HPI RTR Nitro RS4
3 Evo, and have been having a problem.
The manual says to break it in by basically letting it idle through two

I got a stock Nitro Sport SE w/ stock gears (72t spur/20t bell).  Went
to change to a 16t bell, and the spur wont connect to it..  Adjusted it
it by loosing up the mounting bolts and moving the eng. back as far as
it goes and still nothing..  Do I just need a bigger spur? or does ...

Greetings All,
I'm selling an RC car and am trying to spread the word about it.  It's
on eBay so anyone can see what it is.
The car would have only done less than 20 laps at any sort of speed.  I

I ordered a kontronic jazz 55 for my heli.  In the manual i see it also has

Not quite as much metal as the original from the look of the pics.  Not
quite as realistic as the original either, I mean with the right angle
and paint job, the original bruiser could be mistaken for a photo of a

Here I am with the same question I had on the Ofna Force .28..
Does anyone know if the Force .32 Motor accepts the same
pullstarts/rotostarts as the .28/.26/.21 Force engines do?

Looking for some advice on a hop-up option for my Tamiya TL-01.
I would like to replace the standard diffs with ball diffs.  Tamiya list two
for this car, the Manta Ray and the TA03, they are definitely two different
kits with more parts in the TA03 kit, and a higher price.

I'm new to the world of rc cars.  When bodies are refereed to as 190mm or
200mm what is that in reference to?  The width?
I'd assumed it was wheelbase but then realized that is much too short for
1/10 cars.

We are trying to locate 2 Graupner 1880 Wankel rotary engines. They
deliver around 5 HP. These are labeled as NSU/Wankel and were made by
mistake by Graupner years ago. Do you have any knowledge as to where we
could a possible source?

Hi. Just wondered if anyone can recommend any websites in the UK for
electronic components such as different sized enclosures for AA
batteries?
Cheers

I just put new taper pin tires on my Losi XXX-T.  I purchased new
wheels as well.  After carefully glueing the tires using all the tips
in this forum the front tires were not balanced and shook the whole
truck.  The rears were fine.
