@tudordewolf ??

I don't know where to start, I have quite a few planes so far, on some I am working simultaneously, as the parts come in. Same as nitro cars, I try not to miss out on any good deals out there and just keep buying. Initially I wanted 90% of my planes to be electric, but its the other way around...

Man, why wouldn't you let me know you are a rookie pilot? That's such great news! So do you mean, use the stock VX18 flywheel and just get a Kyosho pilot nut in order to use the clutch shoes I just got? Which plane are you building? Maybe a new thread about this in the plane section would be...

@tudordewolf Hey bud, no one to help me with this but you! Purchased 3 piece clutch kit from our guy at Ali, only to realize its not a direct fit on VX18, which I thought it would be. Noticed that crankshaft on this engine is slotted, and the shaft nut is also too big. What do I need to do...

Thanks dude. I managed to source one locally at 5 x price. :)

@tudordewolf Hey dude, I need your help! Do you know what are the part numbers for no 12 and 13 parts on this drawing? I am having difficulties finding them. I keep breaking dog bones on my FIsh, because no 13 shaft is bent, its always been like that. I am done with wasting wasting dog bones...

Maybe I will end up converting the C link to Pivot ball version, unsure yet, will see how the car behaves on the road. As long as it goes straight, I be happy with it. Its now ready for a street race, with my older boy, lets hope they stay in one piece after it. Came with body as well, its...

Do you think a slide carb can be installed on a C link Fish? I see the servo is rotated 90 degrees compared to pivot suspension model. Gonna give it a try, throttle response is much better with a slide carb. It will be interesting to see how VX18 behaves with one.

I will get to the bottom as to why the 1st gear spur has too much play, could be the bearing, and most likely will need some shims in there as well. Will get it repaired and give it another go before new heavy weight parts comes in. I always found TRX 3.3 to be a real powerful engine, with a...

Hello I will see once its here what to do with a metal gearbox. The current gearing on this Fish is really good, car is a rocket and so much faster than any of my Kyoshos or HPI's. I cannot recommend this Force 15 engine high enough, never seen a pinch like that on a .15 engine. I will guy a...

@tudordewolf Hey Mate, 2 speed gearbox in my Fish has finally given up the ghost. I think that Force 15 engine really made it work hard. That engine is still so tight with over a gallon of fuel trough it, I think its still breaking in. I have just ordered the fully metal version, hopefully it...

Sorry, I told you wrong again, its a Force 18 engine.... on my hsp on road. Try and pair that GS18 with at GXR18 carb and see what you think.

Sorry, my bad I was talking about SH15. Incredible engine! Thats a cool wheelie bar, is that HSP made?

I am sure its something to do with the fuel supply, I was thinking of either replacing a fuel tank, maybe raising it, and changing the exhaust. I am determined to get to the bottom of this, just haven't had the time. Other than that, car is a rocket, beats any of my Kyoshos or HPI's in terms of...

You didn't have to heat up the crankcase to insert the bearing in? Man I have been having this one issue with my FFish that followed me trough all my builds and I never managed to figure out what it is. Even with the old VX engine. When the fuel tank gets about about 1/4 I start getting...

Man, you made it a science to start and store the car. I just don't have the patience for such due diligence. You having issues to start trx 3.3 is to do with a tune. Even though I trash Traxxas engines every now and then, due to poor carb quality, personally have never had a single issue with...

Pretty sure this has to do with you not running the engine out of fuel, as you said before, you are worried it will go to lean. Personally never had an issue. Let it run out of fuel, a few drops of ARO if store more than 6 months and you are good. Its good that you managed to sort it out...

Again, I always wondering, stock traxxas bearings. Front, does it only have seal in the front, or both sides? I believe on rear bearing, there are no seals on either side?

The beauty of nitro, 5 mins drive, 6 months repair. Let me know which bearings you go for, always wanted a few spares. I think front and back are the same dimension wise, except back has no seals?

Hi It runs so well! Well done mate! Just idles a tad high, but as said, I myself cannot get it much lower than that, it seems to be the feature of 3.3, even 11k does not help there. In fact the ONLY way to make 3.3 idle well is to make the LSN too rich, but then take off is affected. I have...
