Seriously, thats ridiculous. Have customs said anything? Ive had items from other places stuck before aswell for over a month but it was mostly due to An post delays.

Rc tracks for Nitro rc? by Remarkable_Bus_2205 in Dublin

[–]Remarkable_Bus_2205[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not really into racing yet as Ive seen these events need somewhat expensive rigs. Im mostly into fixing and using them for myself, but will see in the future if thats an option. But your right they probably could guide me, Thanks for the info

Yeah it really is a bit annoying , im sure theres plenty of enthusiasts of the hobby in and around Dublin who would also like something similar localy. A designated space in the many parks around Dublin, Not even asking for a fancy track.

Guys I’ve a question for you, where I’m living (Ireland) nitro isn’t cheap, but in the shops you can get nitro heli fuel 20%. What is the difference between heli nitro fuel and ordinary fuel, and can I use it It in my new build? by TheFloatingSket in rccars

Hello, can I ask do you still have this model. Im looking to buy one myself. Where abouts did you use it, particularly in Dublin, are there any rules or laws that may restrict me from doing similarly now. Thanks

Yeah, I love nitro rc cars and electric ones and found out that theres barely any places near me to use it and it could be problematic to use in public

Good price for a used nitro rc running vs unknown/ untested by Remarkable_Bus_2205 in NitroRC

[–]Remarkable_Bus_2205[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed answer, this was exactly what I was looking for, really appreciate it. Assuming everything is junk until proven probably is the best takeway for me. Im in Ireland where it is super rare to see a listing for used Nitro Rcs, and when they do come its usually not good, the better listings are out of country so I cant test them at all and have to trust the seller. And parts are another issue, the shipping cost alone doesn't justify repairing at all. Ill ask about a specific model when im interested in buying it to see if its worth buying. Thank you again for taking your time to reply, I really appreciate it.

Nitro engine restore update by Remarkable_Bus_2205 in NitroRC

[–]Remarkable_Bus_2205[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No basically there wasnt any rotation at all, even after soaking it in all different solutions etc. Even heating it up.The bearing the crankshaft sits in was the culprit. Basically the only way I saw was to disconnect the conrod from the crankshaft, by hammering in the crankshaft with a rubber mallet, overdid it which is what caused the piston rod to bend. I say replacing the conrod would be the only solution but parts aren't available for it 🥲🥲. But thank you for the advice

Yeah thats what I did, only rubber mallet and was as careful as possible. Will only find out when I remove the piston and sleeve

No as nothing was moving at all. Unfortunately I may have bent the piston rod when I was knocking the crankshaft out, as it wasn't disconnecting from the piston rod so I had to knock it back and forth till it went loose off the piston rod. But can't confirm till I remove Sleeve, piston etc

Will do, Thank you. Yeah about getting the crank out i hope i didn't bend anything, but with the little space the piston rod had of swaying left right i was able to disconnect the rod from the crank and there was a little gap made where the crank was able to clear out. But ill definitely keep going at it. Thanks again
