ok m8 use o'donnell 10% its nice and oily for running

HOW TO RUN IN YOUR CAR

step 1: put a tank in and let it run on the spot.

step 2: let it cool down then put another tank though on the spot then let it cool down again.

step 3: now put it another tank and this time drive around but only take it to 1/4 throtle.

step 4: do the same but take it to 1/2 throtle this time.

step 5: do the same now you can take the car to full throtle but only for acouple of seconds.

you can now tune your can but dont make it run to lean or you will blow up your engine.

also m8 try to resist from going top speed for as long as you can. and now your running in is complete

If you guys are going anywhere but a circuit i wont be able to run.

I wont get enough heat in the tires on anything but a glass smooth circuit, even with traction additive!! Also my ride hights for tarmac are as follows

4.5mm front
4.75 - 5mm rear.

Like i said before though i dont expect you guys to change the venue for me

guys, I'd love to join you for this as I'm a real novice with the toy I bought a few months ago, but I pi$$ myself laughing everytime I use it, its mental.

I bought a Hellfire, so it's more geared up for gravel/off road etc. would appreciate anyone showing me the ropes as I'm just muddling along....

chrs, Malc

<I'm also on hols on 6th Aug so anything before would be great>

car was running 20% mate....thanx for the help mate...but the 3.5 can run safley on 30% which it didn't when it blew a rod........had it checked out and seems to be a manufacture fault.

thanx for the tips...done that as stated in the manual ..............

kept blowing a glow plug every time it started up....and found it to be metal in the piston loose
