Not with the golden imported juice Vectra puts into his beloved engine, Plug.
It would only get one gallon of that wonderful stuff !

Plug

:eek: 60 fu(king euro for a gallon of fuel, its not rocket fuel by any chance?

coolwings

I assume it must be!

vectra

Dont be getting excited now boys and girls..

I havent even opened those cans of Loonie-juice yet
I am saving that stuff for when project Revo hits the ground.. Then I am hoping that it will be difficult to keep the front wheels down

Plug

You might want to invest in a wheelie bar and a longer chassis;) Do you do big jumping with the revo?

coolwings

Wonder which will stay down more... the front wheels or the credit card
Methinks they're both fairly hopping !

Plug

Are you trying to do a "misbehavin revo" or something:cool:

We will, of course, expect video coverage to keep us up to date :-)

Will be doing a photoshoot as the rebuild goes.

Misbehavin Revo.. Hmm. well.. Thats what started this off but it will not be a copy of his one.:D

Wheelie bar?
well I was gonna strap my wallet to the front to keep it down but I dont think it would be much use now :rolleyes:

THE ONLY AGENTS I CAN FIND ARE IN NORTHERN IRELAND

Contact the guys over at NAVAN NITRO NUTS

They run quite a few Thunder Tigers and have been in contact with TT themselves for some sponsorship.


Hope this helps.

Nice one Vectra!!!

I'll investigate over the weekend!!

Cheers,

So after my great dealings with Benracing-rc I would say give him a try. The website is benracing.co.uk but things he lists on ebay are cheeper.

Not sure of the phone number but the address is I2 Washington street west, across from Burgerland (now called something else....) there is a block of shops in the one old victorian building. There is usually a model helicopter or RC car in the window.

tallus

If you click the "contact" tab on his site there's a phone number there.

hi boy

Hi model people,

I'm looking to build scale war bird but have a problem,
there are many kits out there and dont know which one to get, and
most of these are ARF. I also have scale plans but nervous that
it will consume loads of time, it could be very good plane or simply
dier. :eek:
any advice.

P.S.Is there other boards for modelers.

The Green Hobby&Model shop in Harolds Cross Dublin is very good, sound advice and have a suprising amount of stock, everything you need is there.:)

HI boy

that was a mate of mine bought a nitrotekand posted on here about it, ended up having to hop it up majorly to get it to run right... not sure about the issues or the cooling head tho, he may not have run it enough to find out. If you absolutely positively have to find out I can call him.
PS: when it went it was pretty fecking fast, and I have unedited video on this pc to prove it heh, I was surprised how fast it was and sounded nice too.

I too have had a very bad experience with this nitrotek company - they took my order 3 weeks before christmas and then mailed me friday before christmas to tell me that the left it too late to send to Ireland even tho they stated on their site that overseas orders we fine before the 10th we ordered on the 7th. The customer support were downright rude all they left out was 'stupid paddy' if you catch my drift . Out of principle I would advise people to not buy from this company. She actually said that she was happy that we were dissapointed we didnt get our christmas gift after we complained !!! buyer beware

Jaysus that's horrible to hear Lamron, and it's hard when you're dealing with people who are based abroad. At least in Ireland you can usually go to the shop and talk face to face.

Hi boy
Great planes/Top Flite do a nice Spitfire MkIX 1/7. However, it may not be aimed at the entry level for builders (if its ur first build) and is intermediate for flying skills.

Also recommend http://www.rcuniverse.com as an other forum for modellers’.

Best thing you can do now is just buy a new 21 engine, a better one and it will end up cheaper.
