Mikey bought a new toy!

thats hot shit dude. seriously!

thanks. it has been something i'm toying with over the past few years, but now that i had two buddies at work that also wanted to do it it was much easier to pull the trigger.

if you need some advice on tuning it let me or Kaan know. i have been in RC for over a decade and pretty much seen it all.

awesome, once it is running smoothly i'll probably be in touch about getting every eke of power out of it. i've only had it running once aside from the break-in idles and now my glow-lighter is out of juice.

if it doesn't have one....put a return spring on the throttle. if you go out of radio range it can be painful to watch your car, at full balls out throttle, take off as an unguided missle.

yeah, learned that the semi-hard way tonight. got it moving and then it just kept rolling (i hadn't extended my antenna). luckily the steering is whacked and it swerved in to my neighbor's grass.

your mind will be blown at the tunability of these things.

no doubt. i haven't even run mine for real yet (only a few minutes in the dark out front of my house) and i'm already researching new junk and how to tune it

:edit: just read your full post, i see you have it assembled....rock on.

yeah, i figured assembled is the way to go since i've never done it all before. as with the civic, i'll likely end up replacing everything over time so i'll just learn that way.

remember to be a good boy and break in the motor geennttllyy

i ran three tanks of fuel through it before even really touching the throttle.

try trimming the throttle on your radio back by a good 50% to start so you don't get too out of control, haha. if this is your first car, which i think it is....take it slow. at 65 mph its easy to forget which way the car will turn depending on if its going away or towards you.

not an issue. i'm scared of how fast this thing is. i don't know how to trim it out properly, but i'm not going to be exceeding my limits within the first couple days. my idiot coworker on the other hand has gone head-on in to a curb about 8 times already.

.12 cc's sucka!

pfft .15 ccs sucka!
