Be gentle and keep it off the walls. The steering bellcrank is a little fragile. Good Luck with the car. Post some pics.

upon further inspection of the car i found it to be the slipper clutch on the car that had come loose, any one have any sort of recomendations of how tight i should have it ?. just as a guide, i have done it so there is a tiny amount of slip, but the tighter you go the more there is lightly to snap a belt, it has a green belt fitted to the fron end of the car.

any help would be nice.

Gary, there are good distructions in the non worlds booklet on how to maintain and adjust slipper and diffs, but basically all you need is a thin allen key (1/16") to slot into the holes covered by the little screwa on the belt covers. rotale wheels backwards to make it fit in. Once it drops to the botom of the chassis (in the front hole) hold the o/s/f/ wheel and turn the n/s/f backwards. Should be very stiff to turn. This means the front diff is o.k. Do the same for the rears with the other hole in belt covers. Then put allen key back into front hole and turn rear wheels backwards to check slipper (and the other way for front slipper) These should now turn much easier. Final check should be on the track. Losi recomend that on a full throttle launch the car should "slip" for approx 2 feet from a standing start.

edit: I dropped out of the final with bellcrank probs and darrel dropped out with his yellow tamia, so there's your 2 places!! However, your car looked real good all through qualifiying
