I know its a bit far from leixlip but what about Marlay park in sandyford there is a bmx/rc dirt track there. I know people used to race buggys there.

g5hn710m4xpdwy

yeah, NLC has been out there i think, would be pretty kool, if i get a better buggy that can handle hits and bumps ill go out there

liamo333

Not sure if you need a great buggy for that track. Thinking of bringing my new carson cs-4 rally car (my first nitro car) i got from green hobby and model yesterday.

g5hn710m4xpdwy

ah i have the buggy version of that - cs-4b i recomend you get a few sapre fuel tanks tighten everything and get better servos
i learnt all that the bad way

liamo333

whats wrong with the fuel tanks? and why would i need a few, do they break?stupid qusetion.

liamo333

You should pay people to sign the petition and tell them youll give them a go of your car. :-)

g5hn710m4xpdwy

do they brake? oh yes they do, and lots! going up and down those slim curbs at driveways - and a snails pace yet i broke it the thrtle servo cant pull the brake now and the steering servo just doesnt have the power and responce i would like
tho not alot of people probably agree with me but it ios fast ;-)

liamo333

yeah i got mine with no gear, i fitted all that myself. But i still dont understand how does a fuel tank break? And could i drive it on gravel rougher surfaces, how much abuse can take?

no leaf clover

i have one of those aswell, wellits a similar model different name! but my fuel tank broke from impact, so i installed shock absorbers!"!! took off the front bumper, and put two lengths of polystyrene in between it and the car, the theory bein these will take the impact and break....instead of my gear!!!

If you have a crash, and the fuel tank gets knocked sideways with some force - the part where it is screwed onto the car must crack......
If the tank is full (and heavier) at the time, an impact has more force on it.
Occasionally the mounting becomes looser as a result - no biggie.
On other occasions the tank springs a leak, and needs replacing.

Slamming it sideways into a kerb is the classic "accident" that damages fuel tanks in cars.

The other common error is over enthusiastic priming which may crack the air seal in the little priming pump.

Kinda funny we have come from offroad tracks in leixlip to broken fuel tanks.
