Well fellas, my bud just grabbed a brand new MGT 4.60SE and I must say I'm
not all that impressed.  I was thinking of getting one myself prior to
seeing one in action.  I'll give it three things: it handles amazing, it's
loud as all hell and it's humongous.  On the other hand ...

I started to pull my car apart last night to do maintenance after my
run on the weekend.  The wheels have a gritty sound after running it
around on the dirt.  I'm assuming its best to clean these out. Is this

When I bought my car the guy at the store said I'd go through a glow
plug while running in the car.  He said it had a "4" in there but after
run in I should use a "5".  What does this numbering mean?
Anyway, a friend told me that glow plugs don't last too long and

Yeah, easy now, this is for a 7yo (and his dad a bit ;-)!
Thinking of upgrading my son's RC car, he's got some Dacko thing now
which is not bad (it has not broken) but is a bit slow, in particular
on grass.

Turning into a nasty habit this :)
Took some pointless closeup artistic photos as well if anyone is interested!

I'll start this as a new topic as I want to cover some ground on it
that may not be related to the previous post.  I'll prefix the post
with the the end of the previous thread as a lead in.
