Are you check your battery power?

Battery is one of part you need to check before run your car, not enough battery power will damage your car. Why? This thing already happen to me last year when i playing my nitro car kyosho v one rr evo, during playing im lost control due to battery weak and make my car totally damage when hit the wall brick. huuhuu...so sad chasis broken, servo crack, fuel tank crack.. and upper carbon plate also broke.

From that experiance every time before play im will check the battery and make sure full charge. One more thing my fault is not using the fail safe, if im using it maybe this thing will not happen. Make sure your battery power for transmitter and receiver is full charge and dont forget buy fail safe for your lovely car.

How to clean your buggy

Cleaning is very important. After run long hours your buggy must be dirty and need to cleaning, before cleaning you must dismantling all electronic equipment like, servo for trottle, servo for carburator, receiver and battery. After that you can wash it by water(pressure jet) for remove the mud or what ever thing, when it done ,better way you should use air pressure to dry it.

Each movement and rotation parts must be checked the free , if have little bit stuck you need to check it may be have small stone or sand. When this problem happend you need to dismantling it to remove that particular. Lubricate if necessery(lingkage, bearing) .

Using others engine

This buggy ho-bao are using double disc brake, but the old engine compression is too less. I replace it by using engine Thunder tiger but i have problem the sliding carburater touch the pad brake. The easy way solution i done is remove one of disc brake complete with pad brake. After remove screw for pad brake must be change also by using the short screw. If not no meaning...the sliding carburator still stuck cannot moving
