Schumacher r12 team kit with original Rossi pixie 12 engine,

Luckily, Schumacher had all the spares I needed, treated it to new wheels and tyres.

Got a new #6 plug, and some new 25%, and went to fire it up, bearings in the pinion where seized (never checked....🤦‍♂️) and it drove itself off the end of the bench......

New bearings arrived ,fitted and now starts ,runs and drives!! 

New body arrived, so a lick of paint ,and it'll be ready to go, whenever that is possible....🙄🤷‍♂️

Got the thing painted, went for the 'Cannonball ' theme..

Do like a Fusion.  Such a quick car.

Relatively big motor ,for a 1/10 chassis, plus a 3 speed gearbox, just to make sure! 🤣

.21 in a 1/10, no one else was doing that.  The closest was a .15 and they're nothing compared to a .21.

IIRC, those XTR's were very quick too.  Dare I say a little faster than the Fusion's.

Aye, the XTR3e was a handful, maybe a bit small a scale for the speeds it could achieve off road.

I couldn't really get a decent reliable tune with the supercharger, seem to burn out plugs, no matter what # the plug, think the belt might have been slipping, but when it ran , it ran good enough to strip the 3rd gear 😁🤦‍♂️

Always wondered about those SC kits.  

1.  Was the tolerances close?

2.  Fueling.  

Thinking about it now, I suppose you could put high needle on third channel and mix with channel 2.

Not a clue.

I understand the plug heat ranges (kind of...you can essentially alter ignition timing with them too?) 

The mixture ,I went off sound and smoke, but I think I always kept it on the rich side, as I was feared of melting parts...😳

Randomly, I have an old nitro 10 kit to sell. Was just too fast for me. I’m getting rid for £120…
