Just got an FG Monster Beetle!

[Gamefan]

So I have not had any time to put into getting the car running. Lots of business trips. I am hoping next month I can get back to this and finally get it running right.

You'll get there matey, as said before they're a simple RC and to be fair, not much to go wrong on them. Upload a video of what's going on (that'll really help!), and/or take pix of the chassis without the engine in (if it's already out the car), all sorts of angles looking at the rear end too, and the bottom of the engine so we can see what mounts there are.

Can anyone please point me to where I can purchase shockwears for the Beetle?

 

[DougStar]

maybe just a guess try DDM?

 

[Gamefan]

Hi Dougstar,

I emailed Steve and he said he does not have any for FG. So thought I would ask here where to get them.

Thank you!

 

[DougStar]

ah i see why not get hold of outerwears direct

 

[DougStar]

Will upload photos once done.

So I am fitting my new tunes pipe. There seems to be not enough clearance for the tip.

It is pushing the pipe downward instead of being straight.

Any ideas? The pipe I am using is FG asteel-Power Pipe part number FG06299.

 

[DougStar]

post pics so we can see what the issue is maybe we can help you?

 

[Gamefan]

Hi Dougstar!

Got it sorted. Just had to twist the pipe a little so it would not hit the shocks tower brace.

Thank you!

 

[DougStar]

any pics available?

 

[Gamefan]

Sure, give me a few minutes and I will post up some pics of where I am so far.

 

[Gamefan]

Here is where I am so far in getting it all together again.

Thank you!

It’s current state. Can someone help me get the braking dialed in? Seems to be getting caught when I pull the throttle.

Thank you!

Thank you!

What do you mean by getting caught when you pull the throttle ? Do you mean the brakes are activated instead of the throttle. Reverse the servo in the radio for channel 2 awesuming channel 2 is throttle/brakes.
