N4-Tec in Sweden

[SweViking]

First i'm from sweden and my english isn't the best, but im trying.
After a couple of years driving FG 1:5/Serpent 1:8 Excel and Kyosho PureTen I was interested in trying something else, so I went to my local hobbydealer to see what's he got. I found a Traxxas N4-Tec that he had have for two years and he told me that it's very difficut to sell Traxxas in Sweden, everybody wants Kyosho (I just don't know why). The price was 2.800 sek (about 250$) but when we have discuss for a while I bought it for 2.000 sek (I think he was glad to get rid of it, and I was very happy to get a good deal). I found out that the Scandinavian version did not have ProLine tyres and the rims was the same as the electric version, no big deal because I have lots of tyres and rims left from my PureTen racing period. I also notice that the width was 190mm (not 200mm as the spec told) it can depend on the offset of the wheels i mounted but i was very glad becase then my HPI Audi A4 Avant body will fit. So i'm looking forward to test the car on our local track when the weather is better, right now it's snowing here.
I've been read that some have problem with the oneway bearing in the ez start and pull start system. I have never had any problem with that, i just drop a little drop of thin oil in the bearing once and a while and the problem NEVER show up.

The one way bearing was quite a bother before I switched engines. THe traxxas engine puts quite alot of castor oil into the backplate. An O.S engine really doesn't that's why the bearings go out the oil is too heavy. to keep it working properly the bearing should be blasted out with denatured alchohol and reoiled periodically


ps your english is fine. and yes 190s fit on the car with stock wheels the fenders would be cut off though.

His English is fine, now its time to work on yours. Lets see, you forgot a couple commas, a lot is two words, and a couple periods missing. I only said this bcause we have someone here who needs to see good English since he is fairly new to the language. Anyway back to RC. You should be able to beat Kyosho in races there, it just depends on your skill.
