I bought a Nitro R/C buggy just a couple of weeks ago - a Kyosho Inferno TR-15 with a .15 sized Nitro engine - ran the car in in 5% Nitro fuel and it ran really well and smooth. I broke so much stuff on it though, parts, driveshafts you name it. I even snapped the starter cord on the car, the flywheel came loose etc.

Simple things, but I got it running really good the other day, it was absolutely FLYING, after about 3-4 seconds of full throt, the car was peaking like a F1 car no joke- hitting a good 70-80 km/h at least! I upgraded the exhaust and put in OS glow plug.

Took it out in 35 degree weather, ran 16 % nitro and I got greeedy for more power, So I kept leaning it out until it was running like a devil , the thing was hitting powerband and spinning all 4 wheels!! Then it died. This is the result!

First pic is of the engine, note the new "tuned" extractor I got for it and tuned exhaust pipe!

This is when Mr Conrod decided to say Hi to the world.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
