ViperGTS · 04-12-2005 1:32am

Here's a link to my brand new JATO. Every thing is stock for now and it's only got about 1 hours run time on it. I'm looking to put a different shell on it first but I can't find any specific JATO ones around. Will any particular types fit? Any help will be appreciated

Yeah kinda :P
The spool that holds the starter chord on the pullstart on the Savage broke earlier, so I ordered a rotostart for it rather than the pull chord, I dont care about the weight difference, I have welts on my fingers from trying to pull start the thing :mad:

Ok Guys I took my HPI RS4 RTR3 Evo out for a spin earlier and MAN it handles great even in the wet. See the attached pic and the resulting mess the wet road made of my chassis and inner workings

vectra · 21-12-2005 2:51pm

:eek:
Some mess.
Reminds me why I dont bring out my Revo until the weather dries up a bit

Nice car though

tallus · 21-12-2005 2:53pm

yeah Vectra I wont be doing it again unless the weather is dry. It still handled very well. Now to get me a power cleaner ;P

g5hn710m4xpdwy · 21-12-2005 6:55pm

haha the power cleaner is in need, but must be fun to drive in the wet:rolleyes:

Decided to let it dry off then maybe vaccuum it with the brush attachment thing. Time will tell

g5hn710m4xpdwy · 22-12-2005 7:22pm

or...
make sure everything is fastened in well and strap it to a sturdy table and off to a very strong wind tunnel too blow all that off:eek:

Pah, thats nothing compared to my tmaxx after i've had it through the fields! Hate it when it goes through a big cow sh1te though, bloody stinks afterwards.

Manic Moran · 22-12-2005 7:37pm

I'm going to be different... I've noticed a lack of static modellers on this board.

NTM

tallus · 22-12-2005 10:36pm

Those are excellent.
The only static Model I have is a spitfire, might even post a pic of it :P

*will have pics up later*

tallus · 25-12-2005 11:15am

Excellent dude mine is fast and handles very well. Just make sure that you set up your brakes, i crashed mine on the first outing and was waiting weeks for parts heh.

GenericName · 26-12-2005 2:48pm

Hi Guys, I'm Flunked's brother. Being new to RC models we're a bit confused by the various names given to the different bolts/needles in the carburetor. So I've taken pics on my phone to help make things clearer. (If the photos are not very clear we can take them on a proper digital camera.)

pic1.JPG

pic2.JPG

pic3.JPG

The screw that doesn't seem to want to go back in belongs in 'B'. This controls minimum idle engine speed, right? Could someone tell us if it's unusual for this pin to not screw in easily and what position should it be in (as in number of turns out from the fully screwed in position)

The documentation supplied with the model and what we've found online uses various different names to describe the three screws/needles. So, if possible, could someone tell us the names of A, B and C, their purpose and exactly how many turns out, from fully screwed in, should they be?

Thanks for all your help guys.

mugenextreme · 26-12-2005 3:24pm

A = this is the high end needle

B = this is the idle needle

c = low end needle

Idle needle should be adjusted to a point where the car will sit ticking over but not to high a tick over as to have the clutch engage which is make the car move. Also if driving and u find when u brake the engine cuts this could be due to the gap in the carb closing to much so just tighten in till you can brake with out this happening.

coolwings · 01-01-2006 7:59pm

OK- here's a couple pics of a rather different model car.....
(I got them to upload in the same post this time - much handier)

Very bad accelleration from standing start, but power kicks in at about 20mph.
Dunno top speed ... looks like 40-something to me, but you know how we deceive ourselves on top speed estimates sometimes !
possibly 45 ?
Turns - v-e-r-y sensitive - I have minimised the throw, and 50% expo on the radio as well, still goes round a turn on two wheels from time to time.

T-Maxx,
I dread cleaning up mine after a muck about in the field beside me but i'm talking about grass and the odd splashes of mud. What in the name of God are u driving that thing through? If I brought that home she'd tell me to turn round and keep on walkin. LOL
Nice job anyway
