Re: Fumotec PC 490
Looking good, this is part I hate most! Trying to squeeze 8 pipes neatly in there without any kinks is a nightmare!
Did you not opt for a quick coupler?

Took me a minute to think how both ADT's were moving, then I remembered you'd done this before on the tamiya trucks :cool:
Great to see the little 450 being used, any videos of...

I had a terrible time with paint, it never really cured and could chip off with the slightest knock. So after much thought I decided to strip it and repaint it using an airbrush instead of spray...

Re: Volvo 6x6
Me too! I've had a Scania which was a 6x4 with diff locks but it was hopeless off road so for this one I've gone 6x6 with locks, grippy tyres all round and also raised the bumper/cab 13mm

Carson does look good, I was offered one for 450 euro's without the motor or mechanism. I already have a mechanism so it could be made to run easily.
Is there any others? I've seen the odd...

Re: Fumotec 490
I will look into the MFR and see what I can try. I use a graupner radio and have spaces for lots of mixes curved/linear so I don't know why i cant program it

Re: Fumotec 490
How do I change settings on the MFR just move the jumper?
I want to run mixes so the more the valve is opened the faster the pump goes but for some reason I can only get one mix to work?
