  @spurs4life08 yep thats the problem when companies stop producing some models Its the same with engines, I struggle to find parts for the NB16 engine cause nitrotek are nearly always out of stock on them parts

  the annoying thing is that i recently spent £8on a new cog then new pins for the wheel hubs and then another £20 on top quality wheels. the rims welded and fel of the brake and throttle linkage broke, exhaust fell of and now i have almost repaired it i just need to find screws for the exhaust. because it is a thundertiger uno and discontinued the parts are bloody hard to find

  @Hangar18Hobbies Well for action vids I use my HD Camcorder, but for tutorials I use Sony Cybershot DSC-W55 and then convert it to 30fps before making vids

  Hi there

  Nice tutorial. Now i can tune my nb16 better. I not always have the full speed. I saw that you have the alumilium tuned pipe. Is this one better in performance and sound than the standart one? Are there other wheels to get for it?

  Pleace can you PM me?
  Thanks

  Cheers from Holland

  Well if there is alot of smoke, then its running too rich on the High end needle. So lean it out a bit Or if there is not alot or no smoke, then its too lean, so richen out the high end a bit
