Berk alert!
Does the Monster beetle use the same shock set-up as the KBF?
What are these limiters, and what do they do?
Where do i get them?
Do i ask too many questions at once?
-
Thankyou for all your replies!
-
Thanks, bud.
Do you know who sells them?

Ayup,
I was wondering if anyone has an electrical schematic for 1/10 scale cars.
I want to fit 2 headlights, 2 rearlights and 4 spotlamps to my MB.
Any advice on the subject would be appreciated,
Rick

What's the enviroment compared to my Beetle!

Hi all.
On the forum i've seen that Easy Off oven cleaner is great for stripping paint off a plastic body shell.
Does Mr Muscle oven cleaner work, because i can't find any of the easy off!
Cheers,

I live in Exeter, UK.
Exeter has very few (if any) claims to fame apart from the fact that my wife and i live here!

Sorry about this, chaps...
I believe a Blackfoot body will fit my MB.
If so, what about a King Blackfoot body?
Thanks
-
Thanks, Shodog.
I got a beetle, then.
It sits funny, tho.
Never mind, eh?
-
That's weird, because mines got yellow suspenders and a bumper.
-
Is there any way of telling if the chassis is BF or MB?
I think there may of been a body swap...
-
Hey all.
Is there an easy way to lower the front end of my MB?
The body is sloping slightly back and i think it's possibly easier to lower the front than to try to change the front body mount.
Any/all ideas welcome!

Heya chaps,
Would any of you buy a NIB (tape damage to lid) scorcher for £1175?
I'm curious because there's one on Ebay...
-
Thanks, guys.
Getting money together is a lil hard for me, so i'll prolly try to resurrect the shell i've got.
Nail polish remover works okay, but it's still an *** to get the paint off.
Couldn't find any 'easy off' oven cleaner!
Gonna take me a while!

Can anyone tell me if there are Tamiya/third party bodies that will fit an MB?
The clown that painted mine used concrete, i think! [8)]
Thanks,

Thank you for all the replies.
I've decided on the 2000mah pack and delta charger.
After fitting a set of bearings i think i'll leave it be.
Some muppet has painted it, though. Some metallic muck. That should be a laugh getting it all off!
Thanks again,
Rick
-
Thanks for the replies.
I'm considering a Delta charger on ebay, along with a 2000 mah battery.
There is also a 'sport tuned' RS540 motor.
Are these any good?
Thanks!

I run a Monster Beetle with an Mtronik EC027 esc, and a standard motor.
My battery life is about 10 mins.
It is a Tamiya Ni-Cd 7.2v-1200mAh.
The charger is a standard block like a phone charger
What can i do to make it last longer?
Also, which motor would be a good replacement (for speed)?
Would i have to change the esc?
Hope you can help!
Thanks, Rick
PS. Many thanks to Stefan for his advice on previous queries!

Apparently, the 'tab' thing is a capacitor...

Hi all.
Monster Beetle:
After replacing the MSC with an Mtronik E027 ESC, i'm not sure which wire on the motor is positive and which is negative.
One is green, the other is yellow.
I think the motor (unmarked) is a standard one.
Can anyone help, please?
Also on the motor, is there supposed to be a little 'tab' thing (resistor?) attached to each terminal or should there just be one?
Thank you!
Rick

Resistor update:
Badly rusted and partially melted.
Prolly broken...
Hehehe
-
Thanks, David.
I've looked over the wiring and it all looks okay.
The first prob i had was the motor running without being switched on. I was told this can be caused by a low battery.
After charging the battery for a while, the metal thingy started smoking.
This was all after the car took a light/moderate impact to the front.
An esc sounds like a must, but any other tips or advice you can pass on will be very gratefully received.
Thank you,
Rick
-
Sounds ideal!
Where can i get one?
What sort?
Help!
Thanks!
-
Me again..
(I'm new to r/c...)
The battery for my MB is Tamiya Ni-Cd 7.2v 1200mAH
Can anyone recommend a good fast charger with auto shut off?
Thank you

Nice collection, WaG
Do you have a wiring diagram for the lights?
I'd like to run mine off a 9v battery, but i know naff all about resistors and stuff!
