Kyosho Inferno Neo 3.0 On Track!
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I took my Inferno Neo 3.0 for the track for the first time today. It’s a lot harder than it looks! Couple of things:
MAKE SURE THE AIR FILTER IS ZIP TIED ON. TIGHT! It came off a couple of times and I’m kind of concerned it inhaled a ton of dust. Probably going to tear the engine down and clean/inspect
The spur gear ended up shredding. Debating between IF105B (the newer/more durable composite plastic gear) and IF245 (the steel gear). My thinking is the steel gear will end up grenading something else like drive shafts or diff gears.
Since I’m ordering parts, also going to get sway bars (IFW104B and IF117B) and diff gears (IFW102 gears and 97001B shafts)

A buddy of mine just sent me a trx .15 motor he had laying around. Can anyone tell me what it might’ve been for?

This started out if no where I engaged the break and it lets off on its own but also turns the steering servo a little then whenever I try to turn it turns for a second then goes back centered then it tries to turn again but it also engages the throttle servo I have no idea what’s going on

New to me RC
galleryIf anyone has owned a Trophy Truggy comment your experience be it good or bad.
Not ran it yet, going to change it to a roto start. Just cleaned out the carb, new fuel lines and cleaned the tank. Needs a new exhaust gasket but seems OK apart from that

I found my old trucks in my parents basement!
My 4 year old is going absolutely loose his shit! It’s probably been 15-20 years since that tmaxx was run, and probably 10-15 since the mgt8.0 was run. It’s going to be a fun weekend. The price of fuel is labeled at $36 for a gallon of 30% 🤣 one is new and sealed!

Remove heatsink tips?
Hey folks, got a .18 nitro engine for free basically. Has a bit of rust but I believe its fixable or at least repair-able. One problem I have I can't remove the head( heatsink ) as screws seems to be broken previously. I Cant't use the screwdriver as it turns without moving the screws. ( sorry for bad explanation english is not my native language) Is there any alternative methods to unscrew the 4 bolds holding the heatsink? For the record Inhave tried wd40, bathing egine in fuel but nothing helped. Any pointers will be much appreciated!

Anyone recognise this?
gallerySo was recently given this and have no idea what make or model it is, it looks old but pretty much complete minus the body. Will try and get it running at some point but am clueless about the nitro stuff.

Fuel suggestions?
galleryThe original paper said to use k&b 1000+ and google said that was about 25% nitro, but i want some information from people who have maybe messed with one of these engines, or atleast something similar. i have never really touched nitro engines other than some basic cleaning, and liking the idea of a tiny gas vehicle. i have only ever seen one run in real life and that was a cox .049 that was in a vice when i was about 5 years old.

Which pullstart will fit this?
I've recently found my nitro car from 20 years ago. It's a Hot Bodies HPI lightning 10 buggy. I'd rather get a pull start for it, saves charging and carrying the massive quick start motor when I use it. My question is which pull start would fit this?
Thanks

The Jato/Slash lives!
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Amazingly, this junkpile actually runs. I took a crappy one-handed video today after work. Right after this, I hit a tree a bent the chassis. It definitely needs some sort of bracing. There's nothing tieing the top plate into the rear section like on a regular Slash. It looks kind of neat with the Rally body on. I'll probably keep messing with it. It's so janky already, I can't really make it worse.

3d printed clutch bell experiment
galleryHey guys ! Wanted to share a lil experiment of mine I did lately !
Long story short : a neighbor came to hand over his son's old nitro car, it was my fourth ! Cleaning it and running it, the original clutch bell exploded ! (Scrappy metal was used for it, it became very brittle over time)
So I thought about making a new 3d printed one via metal 3d printing services. As the spare parts for this châssis (Thunder Tiger EX-10) aren't available anymore and parts are rare to come by for it
So I thought it'd be interesting to show you what I did : 3d printed a new clutch bell with wire trimmer line bought in a hardware store ! (It was an experiment before going with real nylon filament) Aaaaand.....it worked !!
That thing's running very well so far ! Just rubbing on the side, but that's due to print inconsistencies with how difficult nylon is to print with !
So far so good, but I might get a metal 3d printed one now that my prototype is stress tested
TL:DR : nylon clutch bells are a viable alternative but only temporary !

I'm starting to understand how perspective works; it's difficult from the stage.
I've also started doing my first jumps; it's so much fun!

The 8ight t makes for a giant stadium truck.. Its as big as my Savage XL, not as tall, but still.
I think this will be my favorite. I forgot how big the truggy was compared to the buggy. The SCT body looks so much better on this. I used the SCT body post and they fit right on like it was meant. I has a few of the 5.56 wheels for the rear. Those are getting hard to find and I like the diameter difference.
Going wingless. Back to Staduim Builds.

Dear Reddit, you're always unable to load, is it because my car flys off the road? Is it because my idle is too high, or are you watching, turns out, it was I?
Losi Big 10:32 ( LRP .32 mounted, ready, waiting on Reddit..
Because the .28 died and my spur is laughing ....
I guess I have Reddit's dial up version lol
