  1. Do you want hardware or computer spec? :S

    Hardware is - Right click my computer, scroll to properties and click. then click the hardware tab and within that click 'device manager'.

    Computer spec is basically the same except you'll see it when you first click properties.

  2. What car/truck have you got?

    What fuel are you using?

    What nitro content has it got?

    Try adjusting the needles (high speed and low speed if it has a low speed one). Only slightly each time though, about a quarter turn. Or just go back to the factory settings which are usually a bit rich but allows it to start easily.

    If you still cant get it started you will probably have to take it to your local hobby store, i dont think you would want to be taking apart your piston etc if you are a 'total noob'

  3. Ideally, the star should be about 1/2inch - 1 inch in, best way its to get the cap with the bolt in it, screw it into nut, and then bang it down with a hammer until the cap touches the top of the stem. This will give a good indication.

    I bet is the headset is just knackered. How old is it? I advice the Cane Creek headset, you can get it from Tarty for about 25 quid. Seems a lot more robust than the onza one. Unfortunatly, the onza range has an internal headset, so we are pretty screwed for choice and 99% of internal headsets are the same :(

    Hmm ok, thanks.

    the headset is about 4 months old. im only a beginner so im not doing anything 'big'

  4. Right then;

    1. Check to make sure that the top of the fork tube IS'NT hitting on the headset screw cap, obviously, if it is you won't be able to tighten it and it will be forcing your starnut out. If this is the case, cut the fork tube down or use more spacers.

    2. Dismantle the headset and check bearings, when you rock it back and forth, does the cone of the headset move aswell? If so, this may indicate a flared frame (very, very unlikely though), a bent/warped headset (likely) or that the rubber 'seal' part in the headset cone has worn (most likely).

    Loose hub bearings?

    Moving pads?

    Loose Maguras?

    Is it making any noises? Rougly, how much play is there in the forks? Is there side play aswell as back and forth?

    yes, the cone of the headset moves as well for me. I checked the little rubber seal and it has broken along the circumference of it but it is all still joined.

    I think my star flange may have moved.

  5. The sony one, were they threw 150,000 bouncy balls down a hill.

    Vaguely remember it, anyone got a link to it? or have it on their computer :blink: not sure why anyone would have it on their computer though.

  6. You need to connect it to the hub/router.

    I have the same set up as you, surely you can just search for access points in its range and it will pick up your router? (if you have one that is?)
