my little baby started out in life as a FG Marder Race 1/6th 23cc CY engine.
now she has a converted 1/5th chasis, full race 2500w monster shocks, front disc brake conversion, 30.5cc
Zenoah chainsaw engine, clutchless walboro carb and ajustable LSD rear diff

so now she is a FG Pajero Race +

so LLL your Nitro may take off quicker but you can not outrun 80MPH so when i do catch you

SQUIDGE!!!!!!!

hmmm, I may rethink my bravado at the time

But for now! Im thinking we could have a couple of different tracks marked out. a drag strip, a long circuit, a short circuit with jumps etc..

I got hold of my mates Truggy this evening. it needs a new clutch and the engine tuning up and running in

but we will then have three contenders at least.

what size engine do you have fitted LLL?

Post by **Gayno** » Sun Jul 01, 2012 9:57 pm

mine is only a .15 nitro engine, but shifts well enough!!

I have a .28 with disc brakes on both axles

its spent more time in bit on the table than ragging about if im honest

the terrain will make things like top speed irrelevant. its going to be about handling and accelleration. (though the 60 meter dragstrip should be a laugh

I've only got an electric on-road (with drift tyres) - if you can find a nice large, smooth area of tarmac...

what .28 engine are you running? like you say sounds like the mixtures are a little out. only put about 8 tanks through sinse running this engine in but now its set up its pretty good, i rarely have to touch it when having a blast which has been the same for most of the other engines

sounds like a beast

, they dont half chip on the right terrain. used to have one of the marder trucks myself which was upted to a 29 or a 30cc, although i got the lot off a mate who didnt exactly look after it, always breaking sumin

I'll go and play out on the tarmac with Adam then....with the cars!

Took my little NSX out for a spin the other day in the street - damn it's quick! It can drift too! Need to get some drift tyres like Adam's.

My mistake, I have a .21 and my friend nick has the .28. We have the set of hobbyport VRX. I have the VRX2 buggy and he has the VRX1 truggy.

they are GO engines.

Iv been fiddling with mine a bit and its running smoother
