hello im new to the 1/5th scale ic engine cars and would like some kind of help and advice as ive just recently bought a fg beetle with both 23 and 26cc engines as well as spares and full hi tech hi torqu servos and 2 shells for a good price. i would like to know what kind of tune ups should i do straight away as its already got a metal spur gear the better engine and servos as well as a fail safe. when i got it it didnt run and upon searching the net i found out that the pull start can get clogged up so i followed the advice on how to clean it and refitted it but i think the chords too short as i haven't been able to turn it over what points should i look at that would stop the car from starting as it hasnt been ran for a couple of years altho it has always been kept dry of any fuel after running and well maintained and also what could i use as a replacement chord for a cheap fix also is there any clubs or meets in and around tyne and wear many thanks james
