as long as you put after run oil in after every use and drain the fuel off you should be ok, my rush evo fkin flies, i've got a vid of the evo on my phone, i was racing cars up and down the road (and pissing over them) with it. if anyone knows how to convert a 3gp file to mpg i'll upload it to youtube.will get the focus out the weekend and try and video it.

i think the fuel may have gone off in the pipes and carb which is why its not starting and running 100% so may strip it the weekend and clean it. the more i look at it the more i'm thinking of taking it off ebay.

i don't think so mate. might be a scale of 70mph so if the cars 1/10th scale the car will do 7mph
and i was expecting to get about £75 for it at least judging by what others have been going for recently, got 17 watchers at the mo and had 3 offers but i'm letting the auction run.
