Advice PLEASE PLEASE

I think its standard - its a decent plug anyway!! There is also the NGK CMR6H which is listed in the FG catalogue and they say it gives less sooting if you drive more at a lower rpm. No chance of that here I cant tell you what the gap is but it should be easy enough to find out if no-one on here knows off hand.

NGK CMR7H electrode gap = 0.635mm or 0.03"

Being an FG I assume its a Zenoah engine. Here is the manual for the G230 & G260. Maybe of use to you!

Ok first outing today and i must say a bit dissapointed to say the least.

Seemed to go out of range... 150 yards on 40 megs?
Brakes were crap. and everytime it turned one of the rear wheels would spin and smoke.....
Oh why did i start this lol

o dear mate!!

with that jetpro you should be popping the front end!!

sounds like you need to adjust engine settings mate,theres loads of threads on here about engine settings.

if you got cable brakes with metal discs it should pull endos!!

stick with it dude

It will all be worth it when you have fettled it & are stood there for hours with big grin on yer face

For starters,get shut of the 40 meg and get a 2.4Ghz.You may have a faulty battery or reciever.Brakes take seconds to adjust (have you used the small bit of pipe on the end?) Your rear wheel is spinning because your diff action is working properly,but an adjustable with 90% adjustment.......solved!

alrite matey,

well theres a few options,you could go for hydraulic setup like your front setup but the hydro version,or cable setup same as your front.

Ive got the the same as you on the front and there awsome,and my rear brake i have upgraded to a large disc the same as you use on the front!but ive got alloy gear holder and brake and have fiddled alot to get it right!!!thats my advice but im sure the other guys on here will give you there opinion mate.
Was that hummer shell the one on ebay?looks good mate

How easy is it to fit a bigger rear brake disc mate?

Dude just a thought,if your running discs on the front your running 3servos yeah?if you are u won't be able to put a kill switch to the engine cos your using all 3 channels?unless there's a way round it.....
