Do anybashers/off-roaders/Maxxers live in Bristol, England?

**RangerWRC** · 08-30-2003 09:46 AM

Hi mate
Am about 30 mins from bristol havent been on here for ages due to no engine in me maxx LOL

**getinasmaxxsoon** · 09-01-2003 06:07 AM

Wat happened 2 ur engine? u blow it up?

I wanna find where bashers an off-roaders go, cuz im getin a smaxx at the beginning of Dec an i wanna bash an probably crash!

**RangerWRC** · 09-01-2003 11:21 AM

Lack of compresstion i think when it was warm it would cut out all of the time and would't tick over in the end i made myself a keyring LOL
i use to take mine selsey common in stroud or minchampton common both good places but michampton is a common/golfcourse and you get a few golfers up in the week
been over tywballum with the wales bashers a few time good lads and places
am gonna be getting my engine soon been missing me WRC maxx ill let yea now when i do

**getinasmaxxsoon** · 09-01-2003 02:27 PM

Did u try replacing the piston sleeve, iv heard that wen they go the pressor goes. Did u send the engine into Traxxas they replace/fix pretty much anythin (as long as its stil under warranty). How long did u have the engine before it went dodgy?

**RangerWRC** · 09-01-2003 03:11 PM

Had mine since last Dec done about 9 gallon i think of flat out bashing she had a hard life but was great fun
looked into getting a replacement from traxxas but it was cheaper to get a new engine so am going for the .18 sirio 8 port
my TRX2.5 piston is just a keyring now

**getinasmaxxsoon** · 09-01-2003 03:17 PM

Sounds like u were lucky the engine didn't fall 2 pieces

I'd b careful wit the Sirio if i were u, loads of people have complained that if anythin goes rong wit it then ur on ur own (Sirio wont even replie 2 u if u try getin in contact wit them), but if u do get it workin fine then ur in 4 a real good time!!!

I've heard that u can make a smaxx do a backflip from the floor an land it no probs!

**RangerWRC** · 09-01-2003 03:21 PM

Deffo gonna look after my engine a lot more

I've heard that u can make a smaxx do a backflip from the floor an land it no probs

**getinasmaxxsoon** · 09-01-2003 03:23 PM

On ur last engine wat maintenance did u do? Did u even clean the air filter every hour? I bet u didn't do everythin that Traxxas says 2 do (maintenance)!

**RangerWRC** · 09-01-2003 04:00 PM

NO NO
I always done the maintenace with out fail cleaning air filter/lubieing engine etc letting it cool down between tanks etc
i mean driveing it use to thrash the engine all the time i was suprised it lasted as long as it did TBH

**getinasmaxxsoon** · 09-01-2003 04:03 PM

Did u ever push or pull (tug of war) anythin heavy, cuz the engine can be damaged quite badly if u run the engine wit loadsa extra weight. Did u do jumpin or just bashin?

**RangerWRC** · 09-02-2003 02:50 PM

No pulling just donuts smokeing the tyres till the motor stopped holding flat out to long bashing and jumping

you saveing up for a maxx at the mo or chrissy pressie

i got a traxxas nitro sport se pretty standard at the moment, bought it second hand a few months ago so i'm a bit new to all this and wanted to give it a bit of a thrashing.
