Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / September 2006

Hey...
Can someone tell me their impressions when going from the Savage 2
speed to 3 speed?
Did you buy the assembled or kit version?  Is the kit version easy to

my leccy touring car is a bit overpowered.  I finally received a team
associated RC10 TC4 instead of the promised TC3.
The thing is it came with a 17 turn 30,000rpm motor.  The beginners class at
the club - 2 twelve year olds with cheap schumacher cars are using 27 turn

Are there any reallyneat radio systems which offer visual stats such as MPH,
temp etc?  Something that's comfy too...
Would fit it to the MTA4 replacing the stock one.   I am guessing it will be
digital instead of RC? Also, would prefer one with a failsafe built in....

besides the forum at rctech.net, anyone have a good resource for
everything and anything 1/12 scale?
I'm thinking about adding a RC12L4 to my arsenal....

Righto I'm damn glad I went to replace those clutch springs.  Last night I
pulled the engine out of my Savage to change the clutch springs with these
new Mugen 1.1mm ones.
First thing I noticed (as I've been working on my e-maxx and e-zilla) is how

Need some help with my first modification to the MGT - it's a tad unusual I
bet!
I would like a Digital Camera mount which will hold on tight to a Samsung
D600 mobile phone.

I've been a loyal AE customer since 1993 and I've built all of my cars.
I really want a monster GT but the mere thought of buying an RTR has me
solidly against putting down the cash.
Does anyone know why AE has not released the monster GT as a kit yet? I

Had the pleasure of installing one, breaking in and tuning on my bud's
T-Maxx.  I must say, it was the easiest break-in and tune EVER, and the
goddamn thing SCREAMS!  It launches off the line like it's been shot out of
a cannon and doesn't stop till it runs out of gear.  He's ...

As I understand it - the closer you get to closing the HSN, the leaner the
engine is?  is it safe for me to run my TT MTA4 as close it will go before
the engine cuts out?
What are the effects of doing this?  As say compared to 2.5 turns out?

SWEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!
Been forced back in due to darkness falling, had the MTA4 out for the last
four hours.  I ran the tank on idle for an additional 1 tank, which meant I
had run in a full two tanks on idle.

I am really struggling to "keep" my Tamiya started, I will try and explain
step by step what I am doing....
1:  I ensure the fuel tank is filled
2:  I pump the fuel button which fills what I think might be called the

Read the manual and took advice from the LHS with regards to running in the
"Thunder Tiger PRO-28BD-R (4.6cc)" engine on the MTA4.  The manual suggests
setting the engine to its richest setting and driving around a flat hard
surface for the first tank, slow driving .  The LHS ...

Just snagged a Hyper 8 roller (Which I have and have already built and
driven) used off of ebay, and got the kid an Ofna Pro MBX with a
2-speed tranny on it's way, also from ebay.
Honest, it wasn't my fault. . .

Sorry for being a complete and utter newb, these questions must make you
guys laugh :)
BUT
I have not yet used the new truck, it has TWO SPEED and REVERSE apparently.

OK,
I've revised my list o' engines for the Savage.  Here's where I am right
now:
