I was posting on how to get them,so what?.....I've never had a problem,but like to always update my car,and see new stuff.....

you didn't like the gears,the pipe stinks,the car overheats,teh company that makes it are liars and so on..you're working to get it better...

Meanwhile,people are posting all around you that their car runs fine....

doesn't sound good for someone with all your experiance...


if you'd like,why not take a trip to Jersey over the summer...I could take a look at your car,you could see 15 Tc3's that run great,we can all help you get your car running good,it would end your hostility,and you would be able to present yourself on the forums as a happy tc3 owner rather than a small minded person that has to resort to calling a person you've never met an ass because he has an opinion thats different than yours...


heres what I should add to my sig's....


Profanity is the attempt of a weak and feeble mind to express itself forcefully.......

Why dont you get your car first, and then go to the tracks. A track will be a lot more fun with a car to run with.

To look at the bright side of things, a lot of people have dumped the car because of other peoples problems; for the Mugen or Serpent. At the end of last year all anyone had was NTC3s and the competition was getting tougher.

I still love my NTC3, Untill I get more money I will love this car even more and more.

To all the guys having overheating problems

Hopefully, we're not missing something basic here. When you install an engine in the car, are you checking the cylinder head orientation and turning the cylinder head 90 degrees to get it to cool properly if the center cooling slot is not facing front to rear? Remember, Novarossi, Picco, et.al. engines usually have a single cooling slot cut in the fins on the inside of the head to get air to the center of the head to cool the glow plug area. These engines are built to bolt right in belt drive cars like the Mugen, Reflex, etc... These engines mount sideways (crank snout points toward the right side of the car) instead of pointing in the aft/rear position like the NTC3 ( & the new Hong Nor/OFNA LD3). If the slot in the head that cools the center of the head is at a 90 degree angle to the crank & it is in a NTC3, there is no air going through the center of the head. I remember seeing earlier in this thread & in the NTC3 thread over at the radio controlled zone that the guys having overheating problems turned the head 90 degrees on the engine to get airflow though the head properly & their overheating problems were gone.

Not trying to be funny,but everytime I log on to this forum,there seems to always be a "new" problem to a proven championship car. Again, I'm not trying to step on peoples feelings, but at the track I run at,the ntc3 is the car to beat.Problems come from other problems that were not fixed. I had a situation with the tank about half full and the engine beginning to run lean. in my case, the tank had a slight leak at the inside filter. Changed the tank and it was fine.As already stated, every car has problems and no car is perfect, but the ntc3 is as close to perfect out the box as any other car out there. simply put another car=new set of poblems. If the car has been running good for a gallon or a half or for a good period of time and the weather conditions have not drastically changed, it is probably not your carb settings. change the tank,change the fuel tubing and if it stills acts up then you know it is the engine/carb. We are all in this hobby to have fun driving a car that works and we like the car and that is why we bought it.If you really want problems, try one of those other cars that slide all over everywhere,overheat,and needs $300 plus dollars to be fairly competitive.

I see you`ve updated your signature...
Let me know how the STS works .......have been looking in the same place

So perhaps it could be that cooling problem about the heat sink so im going to reverse mine and see what it does.

I think there is to many people winging about the car i was just asking how to fix the problem.

mugen_kid

maybe barry baker should get on hear to help.

Peter Busch

Thanks for the tip on the head being off 90 degrees. I never changed that, wasn't overheating but it can't hurt to turn it.

A lot of the questions and problems seen on this thread in the past few weeks seem to be the basic kind of stuff. Nitro still is not a no-brainer like electric is. You do have to use sound building techniques(like sealing engines, checking for leaks, cleaning clutch shoes, etc) and the engines still need to be tuned not only every day you run but throughout a race day. With the manufacturing problems(tank) and gear issues(new material) out of the way, I have an awful lot of confidence in this car in the coming season. Not only is it the best at the track, it's a great parking lot car, and is also the best bang for buck too and tons of parts support.

Also, I have to agree with Fast Harry
