30.5cc 2 speed Version 2.
Does anyone out there own this exact model from Heat Hobby?
Im really excited! cant wait till it gets here! if anyone has any advice please let me know!

Now my questions.

Where can I fin a good fail safe?
Whats the Best Pipe that will give me lots of High end with this size motor?
an also I live on a military base, so i cant exactly store gasoline in my room.
How much fuel will i be able to pump into the container it comes with? will the gas stations allow me to pump gas into the small container? an will i also be able to mix with it?

OK I look forward to everyone's advice!
 
I have 2 answers to ONE of your questions!!
1. FAILSAFE - you can find loads on Ebay, or any 'LHS' (local hobby store).
2. Failsafe relies on having battery power, and if/when the radio connection is cut, it will default to a preset throttle/brake servo position - normally >50% brakes BUT will NOT cut the engine.
Also if your battery is blown, broken, or simply flat, then it can do stuff all!!
YOU ALSO NEED A REMOTE KILL SWITCH. This will cut the ignition if there is no power, or no radio connection.
This is the way to go.
There are several options of kill switches, but the best / easiest way is with a Killer Bee, unless you're well up on electronics.

Hope this starts to help you - and definitely ENJOY the hobby - it's great fun!!

Al.
