My Blank Canvas- Any Ideas?

[RcFreak-uk]

The Samba Exhaust has been removed and stock one is back on. As far I'm aware its totally stock, I already have a 2.4ghz system with fail safe waiting. I'm going to give it a good run before buying any parts. Looks a bit battered but picked it up for £160:lol: Personally think thanks a bargain although it is a Carson model (FG Replica) What do you think guys?

Let's be honest.
It looks fine and £160 is a steal, not a bargain, if it's running well!!

Don't forget FAILSAFE is NOT the same as REMOTE KILL switch - you need both to bash around in relative safety on public land.

There aren't any enforced laws at present, but if you can prove - if necessary - that you can 'kill and stop' it within a safe distance, it'll quieten the doubters.

I've been moved on with HyperPete and Pablo, threatened with a possible ASBO.

How are:
Steering?
Brakes?
Radio gear - transmitter/receiver?
Safety - failsafe / remote kill switch?
Shocks?
Wheel squares?
Dog bones / ball drives?
Bearings?
Servos?
Wheels - wear inside where contacts with squares?
Engine / clutch?

Something to think about.

Everything is actually in decent knick not perfect but actually ok How can i check for wear on the clutch? Performance wise its not bad also what bearing are important that I should check for wear quite often? Ordering a new HT lead too.

You seem to have a good feel for things mate.
Generally the basic clutches either weaken their springs - clutch bell won't spin freely with engine off.
Delaminate - lining starts to break off the shoe - clutch bell won't spin freely with the engine off.
Lining wears down normally - may start to engage at higher revs 'than usual.
