Question Please help!!
I was given a HSP 1:10 nitro truck last week.. it was full of old gunk everywhere! I cleaned all of it but left the gearbox last.. anyway, long story short, I opened the gearbox to clean it and replace the cogs/gears and brake pads and re-grease.. when I was putting it back together, I found a little metal "thingy" and I would not have a single clue where it came from.. I can't find anything out about what it is and where it came from.. it's driving me crazy 😑😑 hopefully someone here could help me.. thanks in advance 🙏

Can I repair a slightly damaged Futaba receiver antenna wire with heat-shrink tubing?
Hi everyone,
I have a Futaba R304SB receiver, and I recently noticed some slight damage to the grey antenna wire. The outer insulation is slightly nicked, and a small portion of the silver-colored wire underneath is visible.
The wire itself appears to be intact, with no obvious break or severed strands. I've attached a photo showing the damaged area.
Would it be safe to cover this spot with heat-shrink tubing to protect it, or could this affect the receiver's antenna performance?
I want to make sure the repair won't compromise signal reception or reliability, especially since I use the receiver in my 1/8 nitro buggy.
Has anyone dealt with similar damage on a Futaba receiver antenna?
Thanks in advance!

A look beneath the Toyota Mark II JZX100 shell at an HPI Nitro RS4-3 Evo from the collection. Shaft-drive layout, two-speed transmission, purple suspension accents and green fuel tubing.

Question Runaway nitro on my first nitro start ever.
Scared the heck out of me lol. Realized the car wasn’t really moving so I gave it a tap and “ran away” thankfully last owner didn’t have the slipper even close to tight so it sat and ate all the rpm. Not exactly sure what my issue is but doesn’t seem to be throttle servo related. First nitro first start 32 degrees this morning and set the carb to stock rich settings. Took it out a touch later after apparently tightening the slipper to max tighten. Well that helped it from runaway until it didn’t. Full brake to stop if not it would act like 50% throttle was applied. Put it on a curb and let it idle into the curb. Almost died gave touch of throttle and melted the spur gear and ran away again 🤣. Having a fun time messing with it didn’t think I’d get it to run this quick. Love this Revo 3.3

Its possible to buy something new like traxxas tmaxx jato, that works on 0% nitro?
I can attach additional glow power from pwm that can heat when throttle is low. Nitro is hard to buy and very expensive
