details there squizzmo? where do you buy it and how does one 'hot' them up?

Upgrade your speed controller, battery packs and get a lower turn motor.

I have a Tamiya TB-04 with upgraded diffs aswell as the above.

hmm so i can get one of those off the shelf tamiya kits for $400 or whatever, then just pimp it up and be happy? how much do the extra goodies cost if i wanted something that could pull skids on pavers

Get an off-the-shelf, shaft-driven awd and you can go down to around a 19turn motor on the stock speed controller. Get some 3600mAh battery packs and change to a quicker ratio drive sprocket. If you buy a kit I can assemble it for you. Give me an excuse to re-tune mine. I have a drift/road setup and an off-road truck, and the missus has a an off-road race buggy that shits on both of them... but I'll have the last laugh...

same same, it's sitting in the garden from where i crashed it last time and couldn't be bothered going over to pick it up.. what a wasate of $300

hahaha, when i bought my petrol rc car. i ran it in then went through like 4-8 litres in about a week. then put in away and havent touched it since lol

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
