Re: tamiya nitro ford focus
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.

Re: tamiya nitro ford focus
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.

Re: tamiya nitro ford focus
alrite then mate no probs ill have a bid in a bit i think lol. first i need to work out how to open a paypal account dont i. shouldnt be a prob.
good job you said that then cos i was thinkin 70mph is class. but too good to be true lol. the chap recons he has spent a thosand quid doin it up which i think is a tad far fetched too.
