"I tried telling you about rovan electrics and motors being junk, but you flipped out. I'll let someone else help you......" Ok Thanks a bunch. :D

"I have the mothers mag polish you show there but its not intended for chrome" If you already have knowledge of polishing materials and what they can be used on and already have these items in you collection then why in the Hell are you asking? People crack me up sometimes. :-)

Mothers works decently when the instructions are followed. Pretty Much any auto parts store in the U.S. will have mothers. If you really wanna go hard core with your polishing you could put a 6 inch buffing wheel on your bench grinder. Apply some buffing compound and hit it. Steel Wool can...

Ok That should be easy enough. Personally I would clean the surfaces really good and make sure there is no oil, once you get the surfaces nice and dry I would apply a small amount of GM sealant. Be careful not apply too much because when you close everything up some of the sealant could squeeze...

Can you call DDM and ask for Steve in the tech department? Im not having any luck but Ill ask the guy at the hobby shop by my house. Or perhaps if there is a lawnmower shop near you they might be able to sell you a gasket kit that would work.. Here in Dallas,Texas there are multiple lawnmower...

Me personally I love the fact that I can concoct my own little drink for my 2 stroke Rovan During my break in I used 4 stroke 92 octane tru fuel with some green bottle generic brand 2 stroke non synthetic oil for my break in procedure. Now that Im out of the break in period I have been using...

Hey Tell me what cc the motor is and any details you can tell me on the motor and Ill take a quick look on the net and see what I can find for you

Thanks Buzzsaw for the tip. Very cool. Just got back from one of the Hobby Shops and picked up a Savox SW-0231MG for $40 bucks. It looks a tad bit taller and is waterproof. The specs are about the same as the Rovan RS-1015. Rovan RS-1015 is 15kg and Operating Speed: 0.24sec / 60degree (6.0V...

Servo is Hosed. Last night I plugged another servo from another rc car into my Rovan just to check that the control trigger was working and to see if the servo slot was getting a signal, everything checked out so it appears the throttle servo is shot. Ive been considering adding front disc...

Not sure what happened to my current throttle / brake servo, The throttle servo began acting erratic and then just stopped working. Anyone have any advice or tips? The servo actually has gone to full brakes applied. Im wondering if my transmitter battery is getting tired and defaulting to the...

Hehehehehehe It does not even snow here in the Dallas,Texas area but I always thought that snowplows looked cool on the old squarebody trucks. This snow plow rig was one of my daily drivers up until about 6 weeks ago. Thats when the rear end blew up. Luckily I was close to my mothers house and...

Just sold this supercharger the other day. It came off of a 1973 Inline 6 or I6 Detroit Diesel 2 stroke motor. I bought the motor only to tinker on and occasionally start. If you have ever heard a two stroke screamin Jimmy you know it is an amazing sound. Used to run the motor every weekend...

Dang aftermarket muffler kept falling off. Turned the welder down as low as I could and just hit it with multiple spot welds. Cleaned it up a little with the grinders and sprayed it with some 1300 degree clear engine paint on to keep the area from rusting.

Cool I think it can be resolved. Maybe try to find out what carb is on the motor and reset it to factory settings. The carb could have build up inside of it if it sat for a extended period without any kind of fuel stabilizer. The fuel in the United States has ethanol in it and from what I...

Ive been looking at the RB innovations supercharger and have actually reached out to them a couple of times via email and never heard back from them, Thats kind of a red flag. If they wont even respond to someone inquiring about possibly buying their product then there is a pretty good chance...

Rovan Sucks The motors suck Everything seems to suck about Rovan. This has been the song in my head anytime I have ever mentioned Rovan or my new Rovan. The only Person that has ever said any different is a guy I know who works at a large chain Hobby store here in the Dallas,Texas area. He...

Why do they suck? Other than people popping in and just saying they suck really is not solid argument. I have a Rovan 36cc motor and it has been run nearly everyday for a month straight with zero issues. What else can I do to truly see that the Rovan "sucks"? I unlike most people, read the...

In the past 2 months I have hit up several of the large chain Hobby shops here in the Dallas,Texas U.S. area and not one of them sell HPI products at all. All of the shops I went into were telling me that they no longer carry any HPI products. Same story each time, Product was to expensive and...

Good Morning Umm considering your lengthy detailed description you posted , Im guessing you did not read or follow any of the break in procedures or read the manual for that matter. Did you sit down and go over the entire truck checking and tightening nutts and bolts?

Sold this about 2 days ago. Was my Dads, He gave it to me many years ago and I sold it just last week. 1978 Team Associated RC100 Gas powered.
