got my first issues today, well 2 x issue 2 and toolbox, I'll keep the additional issue 2 as a spare and request issue 1 again, waiting patiently until I have issues 1 to 10 before I start, going to have a blast building this.

Got issues 87-90 on Monday. They are all display body parts and I will get rid of them. OK Jors, the glow plug will heat up immediately if your glow starter/driver/battery is fully charged. My steering servo seized with a possible short and that damaged the receiver. I have received replacements. The nose of my car is in pieces until I replace the servo, but I did notice interference with the steering arms. I am not happy with this car at all. Way too much play on some of the parts and you assemble then have to dis-assemble to fit other parts. I will post photo's of the interference as soon as possible.

Happiness as I found the problem with tge steering servo the steering balance button was set on zero, so started it to run it in but battle to get the rpm down think I damaged my differential will open up later to inspect

Hi guys, been busy with other stuff. I got issues 96, 97, 98 & 98, no 95 yesterday. I phoned Jacklin this morning and they will send 95 free of charge. I am keeping the extra issue 98 because the struts will break. I am going away this weekend, but when I return I will sort out the new radio and re-assemble all the parts that I had to take off. I will be running the motor in as the car is, and then take it totally apart to fix all the sloppy parts and fit the 2 speed gearbox.
MsTR_B, where are you in SA? Why do you need the gaskets? Maybe I can help out here.

Ok Ms Tr_B, I will send you some shim stock via the postal service. I am not going to cut it out for you, you can do that yourself. Measure the broken shims and send me the thickness. I am not pulling my motor apart to measure the shims. Have a look at the build site where I showed how to do the fitting of the shims. I might take pity on you and do some measuring

Andre Thanks will have a look when I get a chance, being really hectic at work... Currently have 4 shutdowns to run so yeah.

Hi All

Perhaps some advice if you don't mind. This is my first model build ever and I have managed to even make this RB7 look quite similar to the pictures. I still have to do the racing body and the decals but I have managed to finish it.... I think

2 Things

In what booklet do you actually fire up the engine ? What fuel does one use and do I need a glowplug igniter?

My rear driveshaft confused me, i couldn't find where to connect it which i suppose means that I'm going to have to just about take everything apart to try and fit it ...grrrr

i've enjoyed this but it has tried my patience.

thanks

sasha

Thanks very much Alan
I hope to get better and better at this

Andre I came right with the gaskets, somer back ordered the copy with them. Waited 1 week for CNA to receive it.

Hi MsTR_B, I am glad that you came right with the gaskets. I was quite willing to post you some shim stock that I have in my possession. My motor started right out the box because it should all be factory pre-set. I will check my needle sttings and post them here.
F1sasha, welcome to the build. You will need a glow plug ignitor and 20% nitro fuel. Issue 91 gives you the starting procedure and the motor should be pre-set.
I myself have not done much building after replacing the faulty rx, too many other things to play with
