Take your hub caps off before running. Mine were all on tightly and I lost all four on my first run. There is no indication in the manual to remove these and they are even shown on when setting the idle in the instruction photos. Angry

I am trying to get some more for display purposes.

I'm sorry to hear that you lost your wheel hubs Kenjara. Have you gone back to look for them where you took your first run? Chances are you will find them waiting there for you. It will take a bit of looking for though.

As for it not being in the manual, I would suggest that this situation probably didn't happen with the master model, and therefore it couldn't have been envisaged. Cool

Paper-thin double sided tape might help.

Yes I was thinking of that or something like blu tak. I didn't get an opportunity to go out again and look for them by the time I realised unfortunately.

The thing is they were sturdy in there and impossible to get out without a flat headed screw driver or something.

Thank you. Building and painting the body was one of my favourite parts of the build. If I get a chance to run it this weekend it will be going full throttle! :)
