Hi tommo nah racing went ahead for as long as it could, we had some rain which was no problem, then we had gale force winds, then we we had sleet, and then a bit of snow to top it off lol, so thats when we decided to call it a day at about 2 lol
racing today or is the weather stopping play?
try turning the bottom end needle anticlockwise quarter of a turn and tell me if that makes any different, if not put the needle back then, do the same with the top end(main) needle
new fuel line fitted new plug and still no go
the other prob could be your needle settings, but check the others first and let me know how you get on!
Hi Keith, shanklin model shop should have crystals and fuel, but you can easily get crystals off the net, ebay, or modelsport.co.uk, bolton model mart, apex racing, etc, as for your car running probs, have you replaced the glow plug? or tried checking the fuel line for any leaks, you will need to take the line off and stretch it to check for any breaks, and if you have fuel filters then make sure they arent blocked.

Hi Nick I can Have a look at it for you. my number is 07527180325.
Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me? I bought a HBX Wildfire Nitro for my son for xmas of the internet. Been trying since then to start the thing without any success.
The best I can do is that it starts for a second then immediately stalls. We are complete novices and have never owned one before but thought they looked like great fun. Tried everthing and nothing works. Shanklin model shop unfortunately cant help and the supplier without seeing it is unable to assist.
Would anyone be willing to look at it as I have one very dissapointed boy at the moment! (Not to mention me!)
Thanks for any feedback, Nick
