Had to put in the 7.2 mm skyline pipe in coz thats what i had as a spare, which i think only has top end. and my track is tight so you guys can imagine.......what would be the best pipe ? for My sirio 12 tup
Appreciate if someone can let me know how to setup my clutch as it is engaging really slow. is this standard with the RRR or i just need to change to the red shoe ?
the setting was done by a freind of mine who did it as per manual.

Looks like something to do with the clutch or the small needles on the engine..... which could be rich low end ?
hope this makes sense to you !

The car was sluggish in the first gear with the rdlogics aswell...
Another RRR built by the same guy has a problem where the revv is really high till the clutch engages but then its really fast only in corners when he has to rev a lot.......

In the second tank - i had to hit full gas to make the car move.........

Just found the set up problem that was holding me back
It was the clutch spring !!
I found it too late and snatchy for my liking and I had released it so much it fell off the end of the thread
I had a spare spring for the FW05 3D clutch, this felt as stiff as the RRR 4D spring but it is about 1.5mm shorter.
I now have the clutch biting that little earlier which allows me more control of the power uptake around those sweepers.
Since this change I have had to go back to the 16T gear, and also tighten up the 2nd gear clutch, and the best bit is that the motor which I thought was running lean was actually running rich by half a turn.
Now to start a race set up all over again, and to re-time the tank run again.

Does the reving sound like a "runaway nitro car" (high pitch, screeching) or an engine gargling under water? If, its a high pitched reving, then your clutch is too tight. If, it's gargling, then the needle seetings are too rich. Try the "pinch test" on the fuel line going into the carb. Run the engine for a minute then pinch the fuel line near the carb inlet. The engine should stop within 3 to 5 seconds for a good low end needle setting (stops too early - too lean / stops too late - too rich). The high end needle setting should have the engine reving high with a clean sharp increase in tone / note without hesitation or sounding like its struggling (a good running temp is usually between 220 and 280 degrees - depending on the engine).
Seems like you guys have hit the nail on the head....looks like have to check the spring and also lean/richen the low end bit by bit. The top end is tuned i am sure of that, just the low end or middle...
any link websites on this would help.....

The damaged pipe may be able to be repaired by freezing it.
Take the pipe off the car, cover the stinger, the fuel tank connection and then fill it with water,and then pop it in the freezer.
The water freezing and expanding will hopefully push the pipe back into its original shape......keep a close eye on it whilst it`s in the freezer so it doesnt go too farout of shape in the other direction.

There is a new chassis from Skyline that is a cost friendly and maintenance friendly now available. I got mine yesterday and I'm equally impressed with the machining and cost. It's made out of 7075 T6 aluminum is slightly thicker than 3mm. The best feature about this chassis is the milled out area for the clutch bell to slide out. I no longer have to loosen the engine mounts to take out the clutch bell. It has the words "7075-T6" and "Skyline" machined on the bottom of the chassis.
Afterwards, I took the chassis out for a run and although it is a little thicker I found the difference in handling to be negligible if not non existent. In other words, it handles the same just a heck of a lot cheaper than Kyosho.

I thought that pipes that are more bat-like shaped where for bottom end, always been that way for buggy. the one pictured on skylines site says mid-top end. was kind of thinking of getting that one.
