[How Do I Get My Pumpkin To Turn?]

Hi There, my bearings arrived from Singapore today, so got the Pumpkin finished and took her out for her maiden voyage! Has surprised by the power of the 540, or maybe just how unruly it was!

So, what's the secret, how do I get this thing to turn????

Thanks

"Pumpkin Virgin?"

Embarrassingly yes...although I have often thought about just going ahead and doing it...!

Danbox & Terry.sc -Thanks!

I think I will take the oven cleaner route first...save some

Then maybe get a clear one for show...I'm thinking Jurassic Park; green and yellow with decals (!)

Thanks again,

[Where Can I Get A New Midnight Pumpkin Shell (clear)?]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I can get a new Midnight Pumpkin shell from?? I am in the UK and have a metallic one on order, but I don't like the bling!

I would rather have one that look like the picture on the original box, hoping to go v. dark blue.

Cheers

Tower hobbies and Stormer are good stores. This is the sport tuned motor.

Yes, it will work well with the stock esc.

Thanks Mad Modder!

Hi all,

I am awaiting my Midnight P kit to arrive, but I have not yet bought a radio transmitter, batteries or charger. Can you advise me on the best one to get? I don't want to spend loads, but just need something that will make the thing GO!

Also in the future I may want to run other cars using the same controller...!

I am totally out of my depth here, so any advice would be great.

Also, I have been advised to get a 540 sport tuned motor (have just bought rubber sealed bearings)...they seem to have different numbers eg 23T or 16T what should I be going for????

Thanks in advance,

28YOK

Get some:

-Oil dampers

-Sport Tuned Motor

Thanks Danbox, -what are the best brands to get and where from??? Will the stock bits be OK with a ST Motor?

Here's a link to the recommended bearings for this model. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti00...LXLWS3&P=ML

[ scroll down to the bottom and there are links and descriptions of the bearings. ]

By far the best upgrade to any model, I think. You already have an ESC so you should just have fun now.

Thanks Talisin! I am waiting for the postman today!!

Hi All. This is my 1st post so I'll introduce myself; I am 28yoKid!

Since I was 7 -21years ago I wanted a MP, and yesterday I bought a special ed metallic one which should be arriving tomorrow! I can't wait!!!!

I have been looking around the forum and have seen that -as the model is vintage- some upgrades are pretty much recommended such as metal bearings (?)

As it will arrive NIB I have the opportunity to put these items in straight away, rather than take it all apart at a later date...

SO, what upgrades would you guys recommend me to fit????

Thanks
