CDI- Sensor Issues

CRRCpro changed the way they configured the plug and socket between the CDi unit and the sensor some years ago when the engines that used them were discontinued, and since then this has caused us and our customers some problems as it is not possible to pair up the current types with an existing unit on the older engines without the customer changing the plug or socket themselves to align with the CDi or sensor they are trying to couple together.

 

Most customers have reported back that this was a simple task and once aware of the changes that have be made they have changed either the plug or the socket to allow them to do this – others have made up a small adaptor lead to couple them together. Some that are not so good at soldering or checking the polarity have reported asking a friend or fellow club member to do it for them, but have resolved it for themselves rather than not running the engine or by buying a new matching pair of senor/CDi unit as used on the current engines.

 

For the older engines we are not able to buy any sensors or CDi units that are wired in the previous way with female sockets on the sensors and male plugs on the CDi units. This change only affects the obsolete GF26i and GF45i engines that have not been available from the factory for some considerable time.

 

All new engines now have a standard connection with covered male plugs on the sensors and female sockets on the CDI unit, but the problems with the older and obsolete engines will continue until all the previous types of CDi units and sensors are replaced with a matching PAIR of the newer types as used on the current engines.

Just Back IN Stock - Pterodactyl 36 Rear Induction Aero Engines

Pterodactyl 36 Rear Induction £249.98 RRP Inc VAT - This is the all new 36cc rear induction reed valve engine from Pterodactyl - a high quality engine from a new manufacturer for the UK market to enjoy. As can be seen from the finish this is a well engineered engine with good quality throughout including a hard chromed cylinder, genuine Japanese made Walborough carburettor and Japanese bearings with reed valves from Italy and is supplied with an Iridium spark plug. This is not a budget quality engine, but a full specification model at a very realistic price of just £249.99 including 20% vat. The 36cc size is really useful and can probably be used to upgrade existing 26cc powered aircraft in some cases, or provide a good alternative to specify right from the start. This is the only engine currently made by Pterodactyl as their first successful  50cc rear induction engine is now discontinued, but a new 72cc horizontally opposed twin cylinder engine will join it at the end of the year.

This engine will join the range of engines we already distribute from Zenoah and CRRCpro as an interesting alternative at a size and price we do not already have.

We also have a full range of spares for these engines available and will be listed on the wesite just as soon as we photograph them... Was magazine reccomended for YT International's available 88" 1/4Scale TigerMoth kit see below ... [PTE36]

 

KCR Spanner Set for MCD [KCR129]

[KCR129] Over the years we have often been asked if we can supply suitable sized spanners to fit MCD cars, and for years the answer has always had to be “no”as we had no tool supplier - but now we have sourced and made up our own set of spanners that should be very useful when working on any MCD car from the very first of the early Bluelines to the very latest V4 and X4 models.

These spanners are all the sizes that we have used when working on this huge variety of MCD types, and so they should be perfect for any type that you own now or in the future. The spanners all all good quality with one open end and one ring end for each size to fit all applications.

We also include a Zenoah plug spanner/screwdriver tool as this is another item that is often lost or not in the tool box when it is needed. This superb little combination set sells for just £21.99 including 20% vat. If you are a V4 or X4 driver, the only other spanner you will need is one to fit the large 23mm hex wheel nuts. We already have a superb little tool for this that will complete your spanner set nicely. Note:- Blueline, Blackline, Evo 2 and Evo 3 drivers do not need this wheel spanner as it is only for the MCD V4 and X4 models – but can also be used on the HPI Baja 5B wheel nuts too!

Also available are these matching Philips Driver PH2 x 100mm [KCR131] & PH1 x 75mm -Turbo-Twist [KCR130] * Chrome Vanadium hardened & tempered blade * Slip-Not handle * Blacked Tip * Guaranteed at just ... each.

Europchamps Warm-Up Meeting at Nene

Victory for the new MCD V4 Race Runner Team cars last weekend (April 8th) at the Europchamps Warm-Up Meeting held at Nene which was also round 2 of the BRCA Large Scale off-road championships.


1st  – Dirk Kellerman (Germany) - MCD V4 Race Runner.
2nd - Marc Kreisig (Germany) - MCD V4 Race Runner.
3rd – Richard Stiles (Great Britain) - MCD V4 Race Runner.

All three cars finished convincingly – even though Richards Futaba radio kept “locking-up” and causing him to stop and wait for it to “re-boot” on several occasions during the final – time for a new radio Richard! – a “must” before the Eurochamps

Also, victory in the Short Course Truck class:-
Steve Backland ( Great Britain).    MCD W5 Short Course Truck.

Congratulations to all the MCD drivers who took part in the Eurochamps Warm-Up Race Meeting – you are driving the best large scale 4WD car available.

MCD NEW - NOW INSTOCK - W5- SCT - £799 Offer

The new W5 Short Course Truck from MCD is a real stunner to look at, and will have the same competition winning performance as its V4 Race Runner stablemate. The new larger beadlock wheels and tyres look superb and complement the excellent small detail touches like the mud flaps, front and rear bumpers, rear spoiler, eight roof and front mounted spotlights and the "leashed" body pins. [009300V4]

The "peel-off" decals include the printed windows, so it is only necessary to spray the inside of the body with your favourite colour to get a real professional finish ( no masking required!). The outside of the body is also protected against paint splashes by the peel-off white plastic protection film, so this really makes the body simple to colour - too easy to call real painting!
This is looking like THE truck to beat in the new BRCA Outlaw Class, and we are quietly confident that the only thing that will beat it is another W5!
Competitively priced at £831.60, and even better priced for our 2012  Special at just £799.99.

CRRCpro Engine Warranty

All new CRRCpro engines sold by us will have a unique serial number recorded on our data base so we can identify the age of the engine and the original dealer or customer at any time in the future.
This will also help to identify the grey imported engines that have no form of warranty or factory support.

Initially we will engrave these code numbers ourselves, but the factory will add them to all new engines in the future so they too can identify where the grey imported engines come from and who is selling them. It will also identify the fake and copy engines that customers have told us they have bought from mail order sources

Due to the large number of non-genuine engines that have been sold in the UK, we will no longer offer any form of warranty to any engine unless it is returned to us with the original sales receipt that has been issued at the time of purchase from an authorised UK dealer that has been supplied with the engine by King Cobra.

Spare Parts. We will supply spare parts and service for all CRRCpro engines – irrespective of where they were bought. We are pleased to support the CRRCpro engines and provide the spare parts when needed.

NEW - Jofer Multi Wrench

King Cobra is now the sole UK distributor for the entire Joffer USA range of products and we will be adding more product lines to our inventory over the following weeks, so keep checking here to see the new items as they arrive.

This new Wheel Wrench Multi-tool is made for us by Joffer USA to fit the popular HPI Baja 5B and 5T large scale buggy wheel nuts and the MCD Race Runner V4 wheel nuts.

The design has been modified for King Cobra to also include a spark plug wrench, so it is not only one of the best looking high quality tools in your pit box but also one of the most useful too.

If you have a tight wheel nut the handle can be moved across the tool to give more leverage by loosening the chromed dome headed nut that secures it, slide the handle across the tool to your chosen position and re-tighten it to give a secure grip.

A highly polished finish is complemented by a superb anodised and lacquered dressing to give this Multi-tool a jewel like finish.

[KCR150] is the part number for this Wheel Wrench Multi-tool and it will be available from any good UK model shop priced £39.99 including 20% vat.
