blackrain; all those bodies are 535 wb but the mercedes is a wide body and very low on the front bulkhead,also check out the newer opel astra two door body, better looking and more detail, I have both but only old one painted.

 

[Super654]

Well i was looking at getting a new body so far these are my top picks

Fk Honda Accord
Fg Alfa Romero
Opel coup and Mercedes clk but im not shore these will fit the long chassie

What do you guys think and if anyone of you guys are running one of these body's would you post a picture of it please thanks.

Hi mate, I run a BMW e90 body, out of the ones you posted I like the Alfa....

Savox is a good servo as Al said.

Here's a pic of mine and my mates BMW's...

What are you guys using for a throttle brake servo. I was thinking of trying a Hitec 5645 168 oz of torque since it a little cheaper, but I'm not shore if it will be able to handle front and rear cable brakes. That's one thing about buying used you just don't know when somethings going to fail.

i use a hitec 7955tg on my 1/5 (but it is an hpi baja )

And probably easier/cheaper to get in the states.

what makes you say that?

Because I have never heard nor could find the one listed above at any of the places I buy from. But I can get hitecs anytime from the local hobby shop, but its not fair since I get a very good discount since I have been buying from him for almost 25 years

yep so can i roughly 3 days from ddm to me , only problem now is out of cash and still need some stuff from DDM :lol::lol:

 

[blackrain]

well i installed a new throttle servo and started car up today but its keeping a high idle and engaging clutch, the clutch is new . I tried riching it up and turned the idle screw and i noticed when i turn my idle screw the idle doesn't change at all. I think something must be wrong with my idle screw what do you think and how can i fix

 

[blackrain]

well looks like the head is loose i have a air leak now how do i fix it

 

[atom3624]

If it's only just happened, try tightening it and see how it is.
If that doesn't work, it'll have to be removed, and a new gasket is required. If you're going that far, you may as well change the piston ring.

[blackrain]

well i torched down the 2 bolts but they still came back loose should i use lock tight on it

 

[atom3624]

If you're saying the bolts are loose in their threads, most like to replace 'important' bolts with new ones where possible. It may be that the bolt thread is loose. Do the bolts look 'worn'?

YES, many will use threadlock, but this is heat sensitive (heat's often used to 'break' threadlock), and may not work that well on a cylinder head.

Al.

 

[blackrain]

I torqued them down with some thread lock, but i will follow your advice and get some new bolts. I think i am going to switch back to the chin yang clutch shoes instead of these hpi red ones. I think there part of my problem i snapped my pull start cord from fighting with this thing all day

 

[blackrain]

since i was last here i ended up putting all new gaskets on motor due to air leaks and know i need a new primer bulb wich has a pin hole leak. Its bin a ruff few months with lots issues but i have learned a lot threw it all. I cant wait to get this thing running again so i can start buying some upgraded parts

 

[blackrain]

Well i finally got it running again, problem was a bad fuel filter in gas tank wich clogged up the fuel line and carb with lots of gunk. I need some new tires had a hard time keeping it going straight on take off. Is it the softer the compound the better the traction i live in south florida so its always pretty hot. I'm running on asphalt just bashing and i also ordered the bmw m3 alms body cant wait till it gets here.

 

[blackrain]

finally got my new body thought i would share some pic. I still need a few more decals like the light decal set but here it is so far

 

[atom3624]

That's looking very nice!
The extra lights, front and side grille decals will make a big difference.
Let's see it when it's finished mate.
Al.
