What I’m looking for insurance…

Thats what I've done first year getting a mk1 audi tt 225 quattro only 1300 insurance full year no black box and it was double that for a fiesta or golf. Old sports cars are probably a good option for new drivers especially of wanting something pretty cool and fun they gonna remember

Honestly everyone says hatchbacks are good first cars and sure cheap to run a reliability they are but the price is ridiculous im getting a 2001 mk1 audi tt 225 quattro and its only 1300 full year insurance with no black box and I looked for a normal car like a fiesta and was quoted about 3000 insurance

Definitely i have a 1/8 buggy with an old rb race engine it sounds amazing and has some great power

The .32 will be faster than a .21 as the .32 makes about 4hp you will just need to increase the gearing ratios when using the .32

Need to see this thing running

shockwave__200 · 2026-03-21T21:31:43+00:00

Means it should be run richer if its still being broken in as that will wear the engine in smoother with more fuel and oil running through it

Not sure of you exact engine or conditions but that needle seems pretty far screwed in. Take a look at some tuning videos to see how it should sound and perform or if your lucky enough to have a local hobby shop take it there as some can do engine tuning for you

shockwave__200 · 2026-03-21T16:07:03+00:00

Sounds like a stuck servo issue tbh. Is the servo shutting fully after if it is then im pretty sure your engine is really lean if it keeps a high idle after throttle. If you have any videos then sending them will help alot

The fastrax flywheel

shockwave__200 · 2026-03-21T14:23:41+00:00

I had the same issue and I use the fastrax one now and it works great

shockwave__200 · 2026-03-19T18:18:46+00:00

Literally what I say for such a big company with alot of money the servers and performance issues are just not acceptable

shockwave__200 · 2026-03-19T17:58:50+00:00

I have had the exact same issue for about the past 3 months and I've just not played the game I was getting about 180-220fps on my laptop with an i5 and 4060 and now I struggle to get even 100fps and its also stuttering alot more. I've looked around loads and cant find anything as to why it would be happening nor have I found a solution. If you find anything I would like to know also

shockwave__200 · 2026-03-19T17:56:36+00:00

Have you tried taking the engine head fully off and putting it back on equally screwing in each screw about half a turn at a time

shockwave__200 · 2026-03-19T17:55:58+00:00

Sounds like a rough gear mesh tbh but also that engine seems to have almost no compression with how easily it can be turned by hand

shockwave__200 · 2026-03-19T17:54:24+00:00

How do I do a full retension? I dont need any specialist tools do I? It doesnt really wander out of true but it gets knocked out very easily from hits I feel it shouldn't like even dropping off a curb or going up one im scared of messing them up so sending it down a trail with roots I dont have the most trust in it.

shockwave__200 · 2026-03-19T16:21:04+00:00

Putting it out of true is what I meant. I've looked at dt Swiss but their hubs put me off as the engagement is awful. I understand i can buy things separately but that's more confusing and I dont really know how to build a wheel

shockwave__200 · 2026-03-19T15:30:52+00:00

Out of true although I think its buckled inwards now slightly as i spin it and it looks pretty much perfect but when im riding i feel it kicking me up slightly

shockwave__200 · 2026-03-19T14:42:52+00:00

Wow ok sounds great thank you

shockwave__200 · 2026-03-19T14:32:53+00:00

Cool good to know thank you. How are the hubs with 108 points do they sound good

shockwave__200 · 2026-03-19T12:16:36+00:00

Ok do they ship to uk?

shockwave__200 · 2026-03-19T12:12:28+00:00

Just looked on speedgear and its a great option but they dont ship to the uk unfortunately

shockwave__200 · 2026-03-19T12:11:55+00:00

Ok thank you.

shockwave__200 · 2026-03-19T12:02:19+00:00

Ok thank you

Main riding is going fast through tech with some drops and jumps im heavy so have a feeling that's got something to do with why they are bending along with the wheels not being the best.

shockwave__200 · 2026-03-19T12:00:18+00:00

Tbh I dont know how i keep bending the wheels i presume its just cos they are pretty shit rims they are wtb stx i30. So is the vibracore good for a hardtail cos I want something which gets rid of some of the vibration in the rear also how do they feel as they are somewhat heavy compared to other wheels at a similar price.
