RE: Engine quites after running fine for 5 mins
i have had this problem with my 4.6 and i found it was running to hot and needed to lean it a little more and only use about 20% at most any more and it would start to play up after about five mins of running . A quick test to tell if its to hot is to give the primer a squeeze and listen to the carb for fuel boiling up if it is its a sure sign of it being to hot

RE: Associated mgt 4.6 clutch slipping?
Found the problem my truck was going into second gear straight away hence no acceleration so a quick quater turn adjust has sorted the problem [:D]

RE: Robbe PT 15 Patrol boat review
i belive the motor is a power 800 motor but it came as a fitting kit with the gearbox prop tube and screw the combination makes for ample power and speed and duration

RE: Model Slipways Trent Lifeboat Full biuld up and review
Hi there im now running the graup's with two esc and two 9.6v 3000mha batteries and its now running even faster with about 30-40 mins run time the superstructure is held on by the side pieces of the deck around the center openings i have left nearly an inch for this purpose with its own weight and it dosent seem to move but do make sure the bottom of your super structure is heavier than the top . On other kits i have use cabinet door magnets bonded to the hull and the superstructure to get a good lock down . you may also find as i have in rougher water the boat will try to keep upright as much as it can as the hull follows its full size brother wich is self righting . hope this helps
