Fs racing thread

[sickboy]

yes they will fit they are for the fs and not for the mcd you can see that if you look at the holes they are elongated just like fs racing gear shafts

Cheers guys. I have searched for steel gears but this is all I can find. Does anyone know of anywhere else I can get my hands on these gears?

Yeah I have read and spoken to a lot of people about Oversizerc. Cheers for the tip I'll have a look now.

I have the road car version and it is fantastic. I run it also off road. I also have an MCD rally and to be honest there is very little difference other than the cost. The parts are almost identical. The stock electronics in the FS cars are crap but if you are willing to pay out another £125 on servos then you have a pretty decent machine at a fraction of the cost that you would pay for the MCD.

Does anyone know of any good uk suppliers of the hop up parts for FS cars and monsters.?

Hi,

Will the Zenoah G270 4 Bolt engine fit into the FS King Kong MT? If not what other engines will fit in it without having to modify anything?

Just reading through this thread and was wondering do the which model of the FS will carry the same parts as the MCD rally?

I had a similar issue with my redcat rally. I had to get the gear on straight. my car has a center spool, not a dif, but the screws weren't tightened equally all around causing it to "wobble". I would bet if it's not the screws being tightened uneven, that you have a warped dif case or a bad bearing in the center dif, or the shaft going over to it's bearing. bearings cause many problems, but I have had warped dif cases.

thanx pipeous but my center diff doesnt have a case its open and if you spin everything nothing has a wobble

[Wolfen]

well got it running and ran it for about 15mins and the gear carrier got hot and melted someone give me an idea why this is happening and would someone an extra aluminum gear carrier or batbe know where to get one cheap

thanx wolfen

sickboy on the forum runs this site. he's the fs man (I'll still bet it's a bad bearing)

[Wolfen]

yes i know that site i visit it often im waiting for a reply
i thing i found the prob with it over heating i had the gears on wrong im running MT gears because im running mxt's and im suppose to put the big gear on the second shaft not the first shaft that was my mistake that would also explain it not going fast


hey pipeous could you tell me if the vertigo gear carrier for the mcd will fit on a FS buggy


thanx REG

[Wolfen]
