Model Technics i think

I think most places will ship your fuel to you but it has to be by courier and isen't cheap.

But for sport use - 3 - 5 years should be do-able....maybe with a new piston & liner set along the way.

Thats practically a new engine anyway, its only about €30 more for an engine, better than buying just the pisten and slieve, works out cheaper in the long run.

Well if that is the case then I know a shop that sells Byron fuel...:D
It is reckoned to be highly rated for Traxxas engines among others..;)

Ok, I have a fair idea on how to fix this:
a) Dont bring up ancient topics (this isnt the first thread revival you did )
b) Create a new topic
c) Check the trim on the controler

Sounds like the steering arm on the servo is off center.

Take the screw and the steering arm off the servo. ( servo horn in other words)

Turn everything on. ( Car electrics and handset.)

Make sure the steering trim on the servo is centered.

Make sure your wheels are pointing dead straight.. carefully put the steering horn back on without putting anything out of line. Put the screw back in the servo horn to hold it in place.
Fire it up and see how it goes.. it may very well go slightly to one side. this is normal..
What you do then is to adjust the linkage between the servo horn and the steering. You will see which way is correct to screw it. ( clockwise or anti clockwise )
Test again.
adjust again if needed.
you will get it right eventually.
Hope that helps.

hi there,
Another newbie question but? I think that my brakes aren't working to there full potential as when i pull the trigger back it takes a while to actually stop and this causes alot of accidents. So i am wondering if somebody could help me on adjusting my brakes.

cheers,
