Hey, thanks for the sub! It’s been a nice little buggy to run.

I'm working on the same exact car . The one I have is missing the spur gear and every rush I've seen has a one speed clutch bell .This one has a clutch bell that has 2 gears on it . Any idea what spur gear I need ?

@RCadventuresUK 17 күн бұрын

Hey, I didn’t think the rush came with a 2 speed transmission- is it possible someone has tried fit the transmission that comes with the on road evo rs4?

@@RCadventuresUK It's possible . I was kinda thinking the same thing.

Seems a nicely built Cougar for a fair price. Also properly wired and soldered up and built with hex screws which is always better than the standard hardware.

As mentioned, gear mesh sounds a tad tight, for the price you got a good deal, ballraced steering aswell. Not an essential mod, but hard to find most of the time as its out of stock. And looks to have the pro transmission fitted. If its built right you will hardly need to touch it. The wheels i think are JC racing products, not j concepts ?

@RCadventuresUK Ай бұрын

Hey RLrc, thanks for the info. I think I’ve solved the gear mesh issue but great to get some ideas and support. Trying to document my ‘adventure’ in RC has been a steep learning curve and I have this insatiable appetite to take on too many different areas of the hobby at once😬

There is something wrong with your transmission.Check the space between the pinion and the spur gear.

@RCadventuresUK Ай бұрын

Thanks, interestingly I had the buggy out for a really short run on the street yesterday after calibrating the ESC and thought the same. I’ll try and do some investigating today!!

Adjusted the pinion gear today, sounds better but still not quite right. I need to spend a bit more time with it!

@theodorathanasiadis6629 Ай бұрын

@@RCadventuresUK 1)1/3 of pinion gear should engage spur,use a paper between. 2) check orizontal displacement meaning the pinion with gear should mesh in maximum surface. 3) Check if your pinion gear is worn(thinner teeth and color from teeth absent. If you check all these and there is still noise means that you have problems inside differential which is less probable.

My buddies are Sportwerks Mayhems with Mach .26 engines. Is the SWorks on your wing the same company?

@RCadventuresUK Ай бұрын

Pretty sure they are different companies. I think Sportwerks is not in business anymore. SWorkz are very much a 1/8th and 1/10th scale off road buggy racing company. The one I have in this video is about 8 years old- still going strong though!! Cheers 👍

Do you think this might fit on a .10 sized engine? not sure if it will be too loose fitting on that size head to make a difference?

@RCadventuresUK Ай бұрын

Hi, the specs say .19-.26 RC nitro engines are compatible. So maybe it would be a bit too big.

I tend to heat twice on my Hyper 21, Currently breaking in a new HPI F4.6 (.28) heat that twice and leave the heater on the head to keep the heat till it fully warms up.

@RCadventuresUK Ай бұрын

Hi, great to hear your experiences. I do think the nitro engine heater will be a great addition and by the sounds of it essential in the long run. I’ve been using a heat gun but it doesn’t provide the away from home flexibility that this does 👍

5:50 you dont know how IR thermometers take a reading. it spreads out in a cone. the rest shouldnt need to be said.

@RCadventuresUK Ай бұрын

Hey, I used to use IR thermometers in certain parts of my previous job, however that was what feels like a long time ago and yes I agree there is more to ‘how’ they work then I mention in the video. It’s very easy to think the laser is part of the measuring mechanism rather than simply a pointer, the effects of differing materials and fidelity or ‘field of view’. Looking back at the video it was probably worth mentioning that IR temp guns only measure temp at the surface. With a small nitro engine this is probably not too relevant but with a large bodied item, bigger engine for example then it maybe relevant. What I’m trying to get across was that use what you have available but try and be consistent in what you use and how you use it. 👍

Nice one, really liking your videos. One thing I'd do is add dt02 oil shocks, will sharpener up the chassis and make it less bouncey, found out the hard way with a tt02 escort I built a few years ago. Had to upgrade it with the Carson speed pack.

@RCadventuresUK 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for the feedback- I have oil filled shocks on the Holiday Buggy, but maybe they need adjusting or a different weight oil. I’m on the lookout for a tt02 - if I can find one for the right price 👍

Hey @HaggardRC, yes it’s a great place and a very friendly team that run the place. I’ve been glued to your channel as I’m looking at the Nova engines for my SWorkz- to replace the 2nd hand ones I currently have. What’s your overall verdict?

@colwyn9 2 ай бұрын

Nice run, I love the rush. It goes where you point it , I have changed mine into hybrid so to speak, the original purple chassis got bent so fitted the black evo chassis then swapped the .15fe for the evo t-15. Then I found it hard trying to find decent wheels so fitted the Firestorm front spindles to allow standard 12mm hexes, this also replaced the brass bushes for sealed bearings. As for the bidy, I have a rush evo shell. The original one cracked.

@RCadventuresUK 2 ай бұрын

Hi, sounds like yours has had plenty of attention - but to keep these older trucks in use then you need to be creative with spare parts! Interestingly since doing this video I’ve run into a few issues, I think I’m going to have to change the engine!! Cheers

@colwyn9 2 ай бұрын

@RCadventuresUK Exactly, the main problem for the .15fe is the liner, it has a nickle liner meaning the bore has a softer surface and wears away. The engine plate on the chassis can allow different engines to be fitted but its finding mounts that are to correct size. Good luck on your RC journey

Always worth talking to your local club, they might have suitable cars for sale or get down, meet some like minded people and potentially grab a bargain too.
