Thanks Marc!! The 2 Alfa shells, the TL-01 and 3 of the sets of wheels are my bday pressie of my mum and dad!!

Matt

who makes that alfa shell any ideas mate?

I think, but I'm not 100% sure, it's a Tamiya Lightweight racing shell. Will there be any marking inside to give any hints??

Matt
P.S. I can ask the previous owner if you want?

yeah if you don't mind mate looks a quality shell

This looks like the beast Matt

(SSSSHHHH, its not normal!!!LOL!! :joker: :joker: )

:clap: :thumbs_up:

purpletimbo, the siver shell is defo Tamiya, but the purple shell does have a different shape around the window on the front doors. It's also made from a different material to my Silver 155 and Focus!!

Matt

First purchase for a few months, and I don't even know what it is!! Here's the ebay link:

Matt

Me and Matt were watching it, so it was a cracking deal, and Mugen Seiki are tops :thumbs_up:

The Corolla arrived today :D quick question, what bodies will fit the chassis?

Matt

should be a 200mm shell i think so any 200mm touring shell should do the trick :thumbs_up:

just make sure by measuring from the rear left to the rear right wheelarch lips it will be either 190 or 200mm (or as close to either) nitro is usually 200mm though

Here's the car



Matt

nice car, i bet it wont stay clean for long. i dont think you will be flipping this one off pavements. :cool2: :cool2:

Haha I hope not lol!!

Matt

very nice, cool car mate, very shiny,lol :clap:

happy building :thumbs_up:

Another question lol :P ermm when a nitro car is up and running, how do I turn it off?

Matt

Block the exhaust or squeeze the fuel line! :clap: :clap: :clap:

:thumbs_up:

Thanks for the ULTRA fast reply jedi master!! Ermm i don't think my car has an exhaust?!?!

Matt

It's that big round thing attached to the side of the engine!! :joker:

:thumbs_up:

HAHA thanks!! Can you tell I'm a complete newbie when It comes to Nitro cars :P? I was expecting the exhaust to look more like the big long silver one on this lol!!


Matt

You are forgiven, but only this once!!! :joker: :joker: :joker:

:thumbs_up:

Yours has a standard exhaust, the long silver one is a tuned pipe, a considerable upgrade in sound and performance :thumbs_up:

Hi matt, :thumbs_up:

Sorry mate i had to giggle at the last few post's :joker: :joker:
We was all new at one time though :D
Yeh lukes right, just Block the exhaust or squeeze the fuel line to shut down the engine, the best way really is to squeeze the fuel line as it stops the fuel, putting your finger over the exhaust blocks the system up with pressure then the engine stops, squeezing the fuel line is a cleaner way of stopping the engine :thumbs_up:

HAPPY RC-ING.. :rc_car: :cheers: :thumbs_up:

cool at least someone off here had it :clap:

Another few newbie questions :P for running the car in, do I just start the car and leave it? How many full tanks before it's run in? How long do you heat the glow plug for? How do you know pocket booster is working?

Matt

Dude, have you read the manufacturers instructions? Follow their break-in rules and you can't go wrong!! :thumbs_up:

I've read the instructions, but they say that it doesn't need running in? I thought that all cars that run on fuel need to be ran in?

Matt

As far as I'm aware they do!!! Matt has done a post on here with a good general guide, have a fish around and see if you can find it. Or PM him directly!!!

It will definately need running in!!!

:thumbs_up:

hi luke is spot on there, if no instructions to follow then just follow the basic run in guide for nitro engines, i did make a nice post on here it should be in tech help section somewhere. basically though... idle 2 tanks, then on 3rd tank begin driving the car in oval acelerating for 2 seconds then easing off and so on till tank is empty (let it cool after each tank) then start 4th tank this time increasing it to half throttle for 2-3 second intervals, 5th tank 4 second intervals and also increasing to 3/4 throttle , 6th tank this time the same but going up to full throttle briefly. 7th tank you can start tuning the engine.

as for the glow starter if it doesn't have a meter on the only way of knowing if its working and glow plug is good is to whip the plug out and press it in glow starter to test it, it should glow nice and bright all the way through the wire. just try for 1second or so as it gets very hot quickly and you can/will be burned if not careful, use pliars if you havent done this before.

A few new shells
