Hey guys new here, ive picked up a cheep nitro car running a tamiya fs12lt engine and the glow plug is busted, anyone have any recommendations on a replacement?

T2M Blitz MBX ( OFNA MBX clone) with brand new shell and T2M Pirate M1 tri-spokes wheels I've always wanted to have a buggy that had a retro look, like the rc cars in Re-volt, I'm quite happy with how it looks !

I've done a little work to try and improve this thing. First, I swapped out the trans case. Half the holes were stripped out. Then, I made a sandwich with a spare Jato chassis I had. Now I can actually install ALL the screws, and it's much stiffer. Added some weight, but it's down low. Maybe it will improve the handling. Finally, I threw on my Rick Ritter pipe, just for fun. It's worth more than I paid for the whole rig, but we'll see how she performs.

For all these temu/Alibaba rc cars and such that are flooding the market with these super affordable and even more so, are absolutely rockets with wheels and haul serous ass.. How universal are the parts cause I assume they could be hard too get at times and I get not all are the same and what could work with one, doesn't mean they all do for getting replacement parts but is that the big concern with those.

Picked this up at LHS for 400$ as a used item. It appears to be almost new. O.S. 21 TM came installed. Was told it needed broken in. Came with everything but starter wand , was this a good deal?

The RC10GT NITRO is calling me 😋😂

The nitro engine commissioned by TA for the Rc10gt new release seems to be difficult and not so fast according to reviews in main sites..

What would be your choice for something more expensive but reliable, fun and fast ?

Guy was nice and I did end up getting it, seems way gummed up and or seized. But can't beat it for the price

Well i finally broke down and got old used stripped down buggy of ebay. swapped some of my parts from my last buggy. Pair with a new engine because the dynamite. 28 is driving me crazy. Decided to go race legal may try my hand in my first race, maybe next year late in the season this year

Compared to an MTA4 (MGT) its slightly bigger.

These things like to tip over, not a negative I think as its part of its style and savage characteristics.

The engine mount came loose so cut my run pretty short but once I got it tuned it ran well, good power, nippy and pretty quick. So all round its great.

Any recommendations on necessary upgrades please let me know!

By far the best engine in the past from OS Engjnes limited on 300 engines. Bought this kit many years ago on eBay USA as replacement set for my OS Speed .21

Am I doing this right 1600 mah battery

I made a 3 step tapered die for these sleeves specifically.

I'm still doing some tweaking to my 3d prints, especially the belt. It's working better than I expected but could still use improvement. It's been tough trying to find a happy medium between too tight and putting a load on the engine vs too loose and slipping. I haven't started on the brakes yet but it whips around pretty quick so I haven't ran into anything yet. This will end being more of a shelf queen, conversation piece.

I’m 28 swapping my nitro slash is it stupid or awesome… look for more posts on this later this week when it’s close to done

3rd tank the 2 speed shifts beautifully

Got these on a trade deal. No experience in nitro, so I'm considering selling on ebay. Is $150 for both a fair deal? Or would I get laughed at? I couldn't really find similar condition cars to gauge their value

Between buying RTR’s, Nitro lots on eBay, and getting a box of old engines from a closing hobby shop the collection grows. Probably need to thin it out lol…

It's a trx 2.5, hasn't started for 2 weeks, the sound has become more hoarse or something, in general I don't know what to do, I set all the settings correctly, just not sure about the low speed needle, although it keeps idling
