got a cool big ass battery powered glow plug starter and bought one of those GV electric starters for it. had enough of ripping the fuel line off everytime i start the engine xD

need to get the faceplate for the OS motor as they supplied some gay Force version but i might need to do something with the exhaust as it looks like itll get straight in the way

still need the tune out the top end but its working good. real good. might bring it to the event and gun it up talagandra

any one have any little tips for knowing when theres fuel in the carb for these engines. im so sick of trying to start it for like 5 minutes and realising the fuel tube just takes on the colour of the fuel

but its working now, all good

i was going to get a starter box but when i go to the track i just borrow the cousins. a bit big to have around here considering the amount of crap that i have now lol.

finally got it tuned on the big road near the dumpsters. goes kinda alright. needs a .18 motor and 2 speed gearbox XD more powah.

it stopped doing it after i tuned it but what does it mean when it runs fine but when you go from full power to full brakes the engine cuts out?

ahh good stuff, turns out i had the low end wound out so much it was closing the carb totally all fixed. ripped out the engine to put the new starter plate on. gawd dammit its the wrong one again

but i did clean the thing up as there was this black powdery crap all through everything and after seeing a new model at the store realised how savagely bent my baseplate is ... time for a new one

do they make CF ones for the bv-1 nick

will take the entire engine down tommorow and see what they can do for me. failing that ill just stick it back in and race jeffs to be traxxas revo for the record that thing is a monster.

CF = carbon fiber ????

....I don't think they ever made a carbon fiber main chassis for the BV series of cars.

..there was (about 18 months ago) a limited edition BV race edition. Honestly not sure if it is still available. The car came less radio gear and without bodyshell as well.
Retailed for approx. $850 (back when the normal BV was $600+ ready to run). Didn't sell well so we didn't bother ordering many.
Thing is though - the radio tray was carbon fiber, the rest of the car was CNC machined alloy (with a nice gold finish), came fully kitted with 2 speed tranny, sway bars (with a selection of sway bars) and a O.S. CVR race engine. VERY light car with a race donk not bad..... not sure how quick one of them went - never got to see one running after being run-in.

...for the $$'s they weren't bad.

....as a comparison - my last on-road race car (touring - not drag racing) was a Mugen Seiki MTX2 - pro spec. The car came as a kit (chassis and drive train in millions of parts in a box) for approx. $850, still required radio gear, wheels & tyres, bodyshell, clutch, exhaust and engine.
...I think it ended up comming to approx. $1250 to start tuning to race.

RC cars have never been as cheap as they are now.

hmm just having a look on the model engines site, you can get the pro chassis which is 7075 instead of 6061, and the carbon fibre rear plate and electronic plate. hmmm i think i will be requiring those (i may be stupid buti cant see any place to actually buy those parts? there just listed on the site... i guess they dont do retail ) any chance of you guys getting those in

if one was to ponder the use of a more "ample" engine what would be the biggest and baddest you could possibly fit into this thing?

Worst case Jeff, you sell it on Ebay and use the return cash to build a bot
