aaargg! Newbie rant. -
02-24-2007, 06:04 PM
So here I am at practice at LH trying to get my POS TTR running. The effin thing will run all day on the bench but as soon as I get it on the track, it will die on me. The longest I was able to keep it running on the track today was a single lap. Please remember, I am a newbie to nitro and have no clue when it comes to tuning nitro engines. I had some help on it but since this is only a 2 needle carb they were having a tough time getting it set right.
So anyway my final run ended in disaster. I made it all the way to the back straight and then it decided to die out dead center. ALong comes a MT going full speed and blasts my poor old decrepid TTR right in the ass-end. Busted wing, busted rod end, bust wing extension. Ouch! And now not one of the parts I need are available or the part #'s have changed. The only two places that have parts listed for this car have part#'s that do not match my part # list. Nor do they show pictures of the parts. How the hell am I supposed to know which parts to order? Talk about screwed. So the car is busted up and I can't keep the motor running on the track. F me! I am gonna make a run to Als tomorrow and see if they have anything that might be compatible. So now I am considering going with a RTR Kyosho Inferno.. A-Main has a killer deal on them right now. Does anyone have experience with them? Whats the difference between this and the mp777 Inferno? Quote:

Is this a buggy or truggy? There are a few TTR owners here who can help you thru the parts ID issues.

Its a realllly old TTR...
Gforce- I know that any rtr kyosho shares little with the 777 line. There are a million differnces . Id save the money and buy a little higher up the food chain bud. I think an rtr inferno would be nothing more than a latteral step. --Then follow the rules! haha!-- -Tune

Just a tip-when you die on the back straight, walk off the stand briskly, but make sure to SCREAM AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS "WATCH THE BACK STRAIGHT, DEAD ON THE BACKSTRAIGHT" Just so that everybody knows to actually watch out. I ended up breaking a front arm on a kyosho truggy when I smacked into him on thursday.
Of course the 8ight was fine  Went up to the guy later to apologise though.

If it is running ont he bench and not on the track, it might be the clutch hanging up or something. Does it die right away or does it struggle a little bit and then sputter then die?
ALL RC STUFF FOR SALE. PM FOR DETAILS.

Thats just it it doesn't stuggle at all. Hell, The time I actually got around the track, I goosed it over the small jumps and damn near landed in the back straight. She's got power.
Never right away. Hard to tell if it sputters or not. Its usually too far away from me when it happens. Quote:

Ok, is it when ;
You are idling for a short time (no gas at all) but the wheels are on the ground that it dies? Or is it when it's on the ground and you tap the gas and it dies? Or is it when you hit the brakes? Or is it when you're on the gas and it bogs down or leans out (either alot of smoke or none at all)?

If I can find the parts for the TTR, I think I will fix it and then throw it back up on ebay and let some other schlub deal with it. Quote:

Thats isnt the best but it is basically a copy of the kyosho k2 which still has a strong following .
I raced an lsp for 2 years so HB isnt all that bad --Then follow the rules! haha!-- -Tune
