e-mail address is SALES@HEMINGFORDRCCENTRE.CO.UK
His new website is under construction at present but look for him in the e-bay shops and you will find him.
I have done business with him on e-bay and have been very happy with his service, he does have a proper shop tel number on there too.
Regards.....Mark

ebay is the best for most model scale parts

Is anyone else halfway through their collection and has stopped being sent them?

I haven't had any for about 2 months now.

Yeah im exactly the same as you mate.
I contacted deagostini the other day and the only response i got was that 'they are out of stock and they dont know when the stock will come in'.
So i said can they keep sending me the issues they have and send me the out of stock ones later on.Answer no.
So i then asked when(more likely if)they come in stock will they send them more frequently so i can keep up to date.Answer no.
they didnt want to know and if you look at the deagostini website the link to the nitro racer site has gone.
I think its going to have to be ebay from now on,which is a bit crap as i didnt want to start building until i had all the parts.

cheers jason

Well ive spoke to diagostini again and ive found out that the only issues out of stock are numbers 45 and 49.
Every other issue is in stock.
So i was told to cancel my subscription and order as many as i want by credit card and get the out of stock ones when they come in.
Just means building cant start until all the issues have been obtained.

Or just go to ebay.

There are plenty of parts for this car still available on e-bay, I have mentioned one link above and he has new parts on for this car on there every week so worth a look, he is reliable too and very prompt with delivery...There are other shop dealers on there too with the parts...all brand new as well.

I just got the whole Manifold and tuned pipe assembly on e-bay on Sunday night, it arrived yesterday morning (Tuesday)

Mark.

Also shops will still now be getting parts for kyosho cars as the french distributors for kyosho parts from japan have decided to start a company over here to bring parts from there to send to model shops,the french distributor is called FDL but can't remember what they called the company over here but is run by a world champion buggy racer and some french guy.

We done the electric one before the nitro (Glow) pricey but my son said he learned more this way than building his schumarcher chassis the "mission" and "mi2" now he has a reference to turn to in the form of these magazines.

I'm building the monster truck one from hachette as it's the only way i can get one as my money is always needed for something and buying it weekly is a way of getting it,but does cost more this way but who cares as i don't.

Hi all,
I'm also collecting the nitro racer and was wandering were there any general tips that could improve performance becuase ive read several reviews on the engine and some have said there is a low top speed and the suspension cant handle bumps even though it comes with the adjustable suspension, where as on the otherhand people have said yes its a good engine so what do tou people think. Also ive seen on an early post that there are suspension upgrades coming as there is goin to 75 issues now so what are they? Sorry about all the questions im new to racing and only 13 so all the help counts lol. thanks
