D Rock 45 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) I have one, its an electric version of the kyosho alpha pureten but i would want £70 and it'll only come with some basic nicads. Its a great platform, blooming quick and the rc gear is good, has a digital display and you can alter loads of stuff Thanks for the offer but it's out of what i can spend, just need something cheap to see if he really likes it. Dont want to buy it to find out he does not like it after all Edited September 10, 2012 by D Rock 45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials hoe Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) anybody have any ideas as to what i can use to replace the pull start cord on a nitro rc car? mine's snapped and i'm buggered if i'm buying a new one for the sake of a big of flashy string. been thinking about some kind of fishing line like 200lb or something? someone must have done this bogery before. i know this is a 'leccy thread bbut its a pointless starting a new topic for....

Tom Booth Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thought I'd resurrect this withy recent purchases.. Hyper7 with the mac .28 motor. Standard other then spektrum reciever, savox 2054 servos and stiffer rear springs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 My mi1. Cf top chassis, mi4 adjustable shocks with pro spring setup, quite a few alloy upgrades, hotbodies 13t brushless motor with sensored speedpassion Citrix stock esc, spektrum reciever and savox 2054 servo, full ti turnbuckle setup running olllllld hpi t-drifts. Still running on 7.2v 6 cell stick packs, I don't see any need for lipos in it, with drift tyres I get over 80mins out of a 4500mah setup. Hopefully soon replacing this with an mi4 if the seller stops dicking about.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 My schuy cougar svr. Only had this about 6 weeks and love it to bits! Standard svr with big bores, cf shock towers and top chassis with alloy main chassis. Spektrum reciever with savox 2054 and team Orion sensorless 13t brushless setup. It goes like stink for a 13t setup. Only few mods I've got planned is ti turnbuckle set, geared diff and a spring kit, the rears a little soft so just needs something abit stiffer. Still got my mo3 tamiya mini. Running a 15x2 reedy motor on a Novak electra, spectrum receiver and savox 2054, fully ball raced with a few alloy bits. I ran in a few of the mini classes this year at my local club and it dominated just a shame I couldn't get to more, I think I'd have been in with a chance of winning the series.

Tom Booth Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Hopefully soon replacing this with an mi4 if the seller stops dicking about.. Got it! It's soo preeetty.

Tom Booth Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Yeah full spares are available at racing-cars.com If you go on current cars then mi1 there's a spares section there with everything down to grub screws. Edit- http://www.racing-cars.com/scp/New_Cars_and_Parts/Mi1.html It's up for sale as I've bought a schumacher mi4cx but think I might sell that soon. I'm really getting into 2wd buggies.

Danny Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 I used to have a HPI RS4 Rally. What happened to HPI? They used to be a big player but seem to have gone away a bit now? Still running on 7.2v 6 cell stick packs, I don't see any need for lipos in it, with drift tyres I get over 80mins out of a 4500mah setup.

I used to get 8 minutes out of mine Ah memories, my 1200 tamiya stick pack used to be the same! back when the best packs around were phil greeno 1700scr at about 70 quid! I think HPI have moved more into the accessory side of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 I think my packs were 2200mah. I remember it getting so hot i melted the solder on the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
err Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 sounds like that might have been a touch over geared lol I've melted plenty of the tamiya type battery connectors though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Hpi have moved into the more leisure/drift stuff rather then the full race gear, they've branched into hot bodies for that stuff. They still make good cars thou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 I've melted plenty of the tamiya type battery connectors though! Yea i melted those too and replaced them with deans connectors. The rally had an inner body to keep things clean which also made things very warm. I changed the gearing after destroying a few things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials hoe Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) A wee bump and kinda OT being nitro but... dug this out this morn, gt4 rtr ii .18 jobbie with missing pull start and exhaust manifold/link pipe (whatever its called). Been stored for time and needs some cash spending on it get it working again, anyone know their stuff about these? ie is it worth saving or throwing away haha. Remember it cost a shit load new (years ago) and bored me after 10min, pic shows everything I found so far bar the rx7 bodyshell Pic got a bit resizeraped Edited March 9, 2014 by trials hoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Well, after running the hyper7 and spending mad amounts of money on it it'll be up for sale soon, nitros just not for me. Still running my cougar svr and mi3.5 drifter but might flog the drifter and replace with a cougar k1 aero for some 4wd buggy action.
