[Hugo]

Hi, not sure if this is interest of anyone, but imo they are good fun. If anyone has got one, then post some pics :y:
Mine:

Built it piece by piece, this would come once a week with a magazine. Not the best but good enough for who just uses once in a wile...

[webber]

so you bought the kyosho 1:10 .16 on road car. should of saved your money and got a better one. I've had a few but got bored of them. The best i ever had was a EB4 S2 pro comp buggy http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f334/webber2006/1.jpg mine...
Don't get me wrong any nitro car is great but for what you may of paid new you could of got yourself a hyper 7/8 off of ebay already run in.

Some good stuff here :cool:

Mine is not as good as those ones,but ive also got it for ages and harly use it! but im more into th on road ones...so im amazed with Mallyauto86´s, some serious stuff there:y:

[Mallyauto86]

note i painted all the bodies my self here's a few more pics of them seen as you like them =D

http://i13.servimg.com/u/f13/12/93/76/95/n1578310.jpg (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=257&u=12937695)

Heres a pic of the rear end setup on the 720 yep its verrry dirty i know had run a 2 hour session with it was taking it all apart to clean it . . .
and yes every time the car gets used it gets dismantled into individual pieces cleaned and put back together re setup to my personal made setup the suspension oil is replaced so is the diff oil.

il try n get some other pics later

[Bound]

Had the HPI sprint, loads of yokomos, fully uprated aluminum gear, wishbones, suspension, hub carriers, wheel hexs, graphite chassis + top plate et cetera, done that on a few 1/10 on road touring cars a few years back, had a couple of T-max's, new and old style, that mental wheelie-ing-70mph schumacer RWD stadium truck et cetera, loadddds.

[saxova]

4k on 2 remote control cars.. some serious issues there!

[Rob-6]

ive got a hpi r40, thunder tiger subaru and a t maxx 2.5

[J222JRA]

I have a Traxxas Nitro Rustler........but me being me ive spent a bomb on it.....fitted the larger engine and uprated everything lol.

It is really quick and awesome fun.

[D8N_LL]

would love one of these, they are just stupidly expensive!

[Bound]

4k on 2 remote control cars.. some serious issues there!

Hobbies, instead as, or in conjunction with say, drinking, smoking, going out to meals, spending as much on real cars, et cetera, he has a hobby mate, don't knock it till you tried it tbh, it's what you're into.

[Mallyauto86]

4k on 2 remote control cars.. some serious issues there!

no its a passion mate just like people on here who spend 10k on there saxo's . . always wanted to race go karts but never had the cash to do it at a serious level . . . this was my alternative . . . simple . . .

[Bound]

ive got a hpi r40, thunder tiger subaru and a t maxx 2.5

My older T-maxx was more reliable (after the engine change) than the 2.5.. Nitro, and especially that engine, without specialist knowledge on these engines, is very frustrating, I mean, electric, and on road - fine, just nitro I find unreliable.

[gaz4399]

i used to have a fusion 28 and a menace for meesing around outdoors

i now race 1/10th electric touring indoors competitively

ive spents over a grand on the single car that i use indoors. dont have any pics as im at uni and my cars are at home

[Mallyauto86]

oh and im selling the big one also have a Xray NT1 still in its box worth 400 pounds thats been used once . . .

selling big one for 700 pounds without electronic gear.

the 720 is my 3rd before had the 710 RC aswell, then decided to change over to XRAY due to better quality and simplicity. flog the cars for around 300 quid once they have been used then buy a new one for the season after

[Mallyauto86]

My older T-maxx was more reliable (after the engine change) than the 2.5.. Nitro, and especially that engine, without specialist knowledge on these engines, is very frustrating, I mean, electric, and on road - fine, just nitro I find unreliable.

not really my competition engines cost round 400 quid a piece and run on ceramic bearings run at around 100 degrees too. and they are simlar to the RTR cars like on the t-maxx they just need GOOD fuel ( best is Labemma ) not just saying that cuz they use to sponsor me either.

also engines need taking apart Allot and cleaning new spark plus regulary you can blow your engine with a naff spark plug on these. you also need to have a perfect knowledge of setting them up . . . too hot they will wear and turn into gelly compression rates go down etc . . . to cold the interrior will go brown and corrode.

ive blown one of my engines before was funny really but yeah it takes allot to get to know the engines my compression rate on the MF 12 is only slightly lower than after it was run in. you can tell the wear of an engine by taking it apart and pushing the piston through the cylinder till it stops.
It Should become stuck around 4mm from the top if the engine is less that 6 litres of fuel old any more and it shouldnever exceed 1mm from the top . . . if it goes strait through your engine is rinsed.

mounting Ceramic bearings helps allot on these engines though they take more revs and last longer with them mounted. they rev to around 55 000 rpm stock and mine reved at around 63 000 rpm average.

use to disnantle my engine after every use even if it was a 2minute standing start to check settings etc.

[Cov_Rob]

Can you get nitro 4x4's? I've never seen one but i'd love one!!

[Mallyauto86]

Just standard with a cool bodyshell and wheels though?

[Rob-6]

ive had a couple of electric cars and even though they were faster i still prefer nitro

[Mallyauto86]

electric quicker than nitro ? brushless and lipo could e if equipt with a gearbox but urm certanly not quicker otherwise

[gaz4399]

electric quicker than nitro ? brushless and lipo could e if equipt with a gearbox but urm certanly not quicker otherwise

just because petrol is louder dont mean its faster lol

[adam661]

ihad a thunder tiger and i was rubbish and always broke lol so i brought a schumacher nitro fusion 1/10 with a 21 engine and omg it was rapid!!! lol but me + rapid = crashes and rebuilds lol

[littleracer]

no its a passion mate just like people on here who spend 10k on there saxo's . . always wanted to race go karts but never had the cash to do it at a serious level . . . this was my alternative . . . simple . . .

omg,same as me.
For the last 13 years iv raced 1/10th electric onroad,BRCA nationals in modified and won loads of club championships etc etc etc.

what other classes you race in?

your engine revved to 63k rpm....i find that hard to believe,our brushless just about hit 70,000 rpm.

electric quicker than nitro ? brushless and lipo could e if equipt with a gearbox but urm certanly not quicker otherwise

A electric car has a quicker pic up then a nitro,is lighter,the fuel car will only win on top end speed,on a short little circuit,electric touring car will beat any fuel onroad car,and the bigger the fuel cars get the slower they are.

1/5th and big,clumsy,slow reacting,electric 1/10th touring,are light,agile,quick reacting!

we have about 7k worth of equipment plus for racing,thats for outdoor and indoor competiton.

[Hugo]

Well i did this thread just to know saxp member opinion with these hobbies, and really thought most would say its childish!!:P But by the posts, this is quite serious to some, i have a big interest in this but can’t afford anything better then what ive got!!

[littleracer]

electric quicker than nitro ? brushless and lipo could e if equipt with a gearbox but urm certanly not quicker otherwise

Also competiton electric cars have a gearbox,they have a pinion which you can change in size,a spur gear that is changeable,layshaft and pulley,belts,diffs etc etc etc.

as said above,an electric car will piss most nitro's esp. in handling,its only top speed nitro could win,but then that all depends on the length of the straight and how tight the infield is.

[Jscott91]

I had one called a rush evo, still do tho it lost signal and then went full throttle in to a fence in a park and the clutch i think is bust and ive never got it fixed, this acc reminded me i still have it in the garage.
http://www.hpieurope.com/graphics/kitimages/562/evo_rubble.jpg

[gaz4399]

electric have power all of the rev range, nitros dont. also the vibrations and inbalances of the engines on one side on nitro cars makes them handle terribly compared to perfectly balaced electric cars. mine is currently greared for acceleration and will get to its top speed of 55 in less than 1 second. for a car that handles perfectly thats not bad

yeh im aware of that but in a strait line nitro is faster, and it was a special series engine it never actualy reached 63 000 rpm in race spec but we managed to get it there a few times while testing.

also raced EFRA rules diffrent to RAWR rules in uk. i did most my racing in france anyway havnt raced them in uk as no tracks at all near me and im not using them on car park.

i also have a 1/8th proto i race with acasionally and a 1/8th off road buggy for messing around with.

and about the electric cars having a gearbox yeh its a 1 speed gear box nitro cars have 2 and pullys etc can also be changed all depends on the track tbh and car setup . . round our local track electric and nitro was pretty much the same thanks to the long strait on the course

no way is it childish.....i never used to talk about the racing to people i thought wouldnt of understood,but infact it takes high skill to drive rc cars fast.

hmmmmm,can i ask more about the engine,like who tuned it,built it,make etc?
might help one of me mates who races nitro.
yeah electric has a single speed,(you can get 2 speed conversions for some of them....but not BRCA legal).
single speed doesnt really hinder electric as the motor has such a wide power band that doesnt drop and revs soooo high.
As you have seen yourself,an electric car can and be faster then a fuel car,all depends on track conditions,track layout etc etc etc.

nice cars btw.

[littleracer]

not at all,if anything,them people who call it childish should get there head out there ass tbh.

[gaz4399]

not at all,if anything,them people who call it childish should get there head out there ass tbh.

it is a seriously competitive and serious hobby with more adjustments than real full scale cars. also the reaction times needed are far quicker than real driving


does anyone run 1/10th electric
i run a schumacher mi4 with lp conversion plus most of the options available for it

[Hugo]

iirc HPI made one,think it might be discontinued,this is for 1/10th 190mm though.

yeh im aware of all that and ok engine spec is :

Masimo Fantini 12 Based on a JP Racing engine.
Has a Black Treatment to the engine.
mine has more lats on the cooling dome than the one that they sell now too.

the prep is basicly :

2.1 cc running on 16% Lambemma Racing Fuel

5 Transfers all Re Prepped.
Special TURBO spec crank shaft redesigned by a friend of mine
a diffrent piston and cylinder also.
special spark plug for it
bigger inlet on the carb
runs on 2 ceramic Ball bearings wich allows it to get such high revs
also the compression rate is slightly lower than normal . . .

The engine is a 1 off but the base version was retailed at around 450 pounds . . .

pic of the retail version :

peace out

[gaz4399]

by the way.. would i be able to get a saxo shell for myne??

hpi do one and a 106gti shell but they are specifically designed for a shorter wheelbase chassis that hpi make

edit: this has already been answered above, fail

ok if possible can i ask more about some of the mods;

in page one you said it was based on a novarossi engine,now a jp racing engine,two completly different companies iirc.these engine made by novarossi for max power iirc?
Also you state it has lower compression,can i ask why that is and its effect on the engine.
Also spark plugs?
weve done numerouse testing on our brushed and brushless motors of ceramic bearings,all we noticed is that the current draw dropped,increasing effeciancy,and running lower temps.this was done with acer racing,we saw an improvement on rpm of 3-4.

JP engines are Novarossi based so basicly the same yes 2 diffo companies but the same basic engine.

also i cant exactly tell you to much the engine was prepped by E.T Models wich the boss is a friend of mine. il see if i can find the tech sheets tbh cuz this was like 2 years ago. the ceramic bearings we used didnt seem to affect temp only the performance of the engine we devolopped the crank shaft quite diffrent than normal. il have to get some pics or tech sheets of my mate cuz i cant personally remember the engine was a prototype anyway.

we also tried to develop a forced introduction for it wich was the original reason of the lower compression rate . . . . but it seemed to work just aswell without it . . . .

also have to ask my mate about publishing them etc

dude your engine is idling WAY TO FAST . . . unscrew the idle screw on your engine about 1/8th of a turn and seems a bit rich too car should smoke but not that much . . . your engine will be all black inside if you keep runing it like that . . .

[joe333]

ive got a KYOSHO nitro racer sickkkk!

[Mcinabout]

I race radio controlled 1/10th scale touring car, but electric(Lipo). Have done for about 10 years now, didnt do much last year apart from the local club, but championship/event wise i hadnt done any for about a year. But i was sponsored laste year by Mirage as a B team driver. Im racing a Xray 009 atm, but dpending on who is running at the local club i sometimes run a Tamiya Mini, which is a quite popular atm. But this year ill be doing alot more racing as i had been focusing on my saxo last year instead.

Exactly the same class I raced, was good, but was just a fashion, R/C seems to go through phases every 5-10 years of switching classes, on road - off road etc. E.g. in the 80's - off road buggys, early 90's - off road buggys, late 90's to mid 00's - touring cars, now it's swung back towards truggys etc.

Aha yeah ive always ran 1/10th scale touring car, yeah i know what you mean, people come and go for years, me, and my brother have done it for about 10years and then my dad and brother are a part of the commity of Worcester model car club and my brother does the race control and runs the club near enough aswell as racing himself. But i used to race in the TORC series aswell as the BRCA mettings outside around the Uk and The winter series at Don valley in Sheffield.

seese up on you ? with an idle like that your gna screw it up more than anything . . . if you wanna run it rich thats ok but lower the idle . .
