I used to have one, good for 40-50mph! I spent a lot of time repairing mine after crashes!

It was temperamental at best though, always had to keep the revs slightly above idle, and run it a little bit richer than usual or it would stall constantly

Just finished building the nippers battery so called indestructible car. The steering stopped working within 30 seconds grrrrr

I can hear it click slightly but nothing else.

Sounds like the servo has stripped its gears.

If its a well known make spares are available.

We bought our two rechargeable remote control helicopters designed for indoors and they are brilliant! It says for 14 years and up on the box but my two at ten and six are really good with them, managing to land them wherever they want.

we tried helicopters soon got smashed up don't try them outside we did and it just flew away had to rescue it from a neighbours garage roof

[Guest ali2992]

yeah i had one of those mini rc helicopter's, crashed it once and it sheared the pinion gear on the main rotor, couldn't find spares or equivalent gears anywhere

Some friends of mine run the best model shop in the South ('Course I'm not biased!)

What they dont have in stock they can order via any of the main distributors.

found out wot was wrong with the traxxas tmax opened up the gearbox and there were lots of little pieces I think I know wot happened when going at full chat it just did a somersault looked good but I think the lad had flicked the reverse switch by accident so have ordered new gearbox parts and conversion kit to get rid of reverse gear so it don't happen again

Just a tip I once got from an old rc man when I complained about not getting my boat to tick over told me to just add about 1% cigarette lighter fluid (petrol) to the fuel worked a treat, you might have to play about with the mixture a bit though. HTH
