Now got a Savage 3.5, though as it's second hand, I'm going to strip it completely down, clean and regrease the diffs, put fresh oil in the shocks and change the radio gear before I use it.

Also we got a newbie who's dying to have a go as well as others who need to get their act together and get their car's out of the shed

Who's up for another round?

Venue and date to be confirmed, so any suggestions?

I Guess that will be me then

LOL Got home @ Midday itching to have a go

Its now 17.16pm & i have got nowhere

Eventually got it started ( Up on a stand ) Tried to trim the steering but do not seem to have full lock either way

So gave up on the sterring

Next ...

After 2 hours finnally got it running , The steering reacts to the controller but the throttle does not respond

LOL What have i let myself into Hales told me they were agro lol

Anyway after a call to John1uk And then young Frayz I Have decided to put everything on charge & all the bits & bobs back in my little box , Frayz is kindly calling in @ 10am Tomm to try & sort for me ( Take away if needed , )

Then hopefully i can get a little bit of practise in

I Did manage to change the wheels though without a problem

Im sure it will get better

Tiny ...

Oh yes & i will be @ the next meet

Nice one, will try to attend, its just one of the wheels looks like it has some SERIOUS camber on it.

Still goes though.

SirFozzalot

Savage now being rebuilt, the kid who had it before had no idea and didn't follow the instructions to rebuild it, so the screws had been put in the wrong places, screws missing, steering servo saver wasn't installed properly, had 2 compression rings on the cylinder head and no copper seal on the glow plug so the engine had very little compression and most of the screws weren't tight so would of fallen apart the first time I used it!!!

Just got to put my radio gear (sticks) in, instead of the pistol control and reglue the wheels and I@m in business

ps don't worry Tiny if everything I've just said goes straight over your head, you'll soon pick it up

WRX_Dazza

lol, i've seen plenty of cars like that mate...!!!

managed to win a 2nd hand samba tuned pipe off fleabay for les that half price, so i'm going from 3hp to 4hp next week, on the 2 stroke.

suprised i havent turned this one into a tree-magnet, like my other cars!!!!
- time will tell.

Tiny

It has to go back to the shop tommorow

Mark_B4

You've not broke it already



You need to treat them very gently, treat it like one of your Pansies in the garden

Tiny

Its not been used since the Lodge on monday 5 Hours trying to get it to work yesterday

Frayz has had a look today & thinks that the throttle servo has packed up

baz69birds

You cant have anything..
Your like a kid only had it 5 mins & its BROKEN

Cornelius

iTrader: (2)

I've got spare servos, but as it's a new car, best have it done under warranty

SirFozzalot

Hopefully Dazza will be picking up some more fuel for me today!

Just waiting on the final part to be delivered and then I'm back in business!

We gonna sort a carpark this week?

SirFozzalot

Is there anywhere near you Frayz? Work or home?

What about out Bradwell way, bit of a trek for some I know, but no worse than you guys coming this way and it would be worth it for a good blat with the cars! No open concrete areas out that way?

The only other option I think will be to meet up somewhere like Basvegas and just mooch about and look for a suitable area amongst the industrial estates.

WRX_Dazza

WooHoo my tuned pipe has arrived!!!!!!

Eat dust.. fellow children!!!!!!

Shouldn't laugh, got about 5 cars to fix at home!!!!!

By the way little Mason's monster truck will blitz you all,
just found out its a Team Losi !!! - might offer him some sweets and a ticket to the saturday morning pictures for it!!!! lol
