  1. As much as I hate to do this.... Solid club racer. Owned since new, lots of upgrades. Just needs new tyres, a radio and battery. It's a TA05 (version 1), with 3racing carbon chassis, Tamiya alloy steering rack, Tamiya front universal joints, and carbon front hubs. Shell is a Dodge Stratus, electronics are a Bluebird high speed servo and EZrun/Speedpassion 120A ESC with Speedpassion 10.5t sensored motor. The Good: Not terribly well used, probably had a dozen club meetings on it? Moved on to more expensive things before I ever got particularly good at racing. While the car's only been raced outside, the chassis was only raced outside once after fitting. Built like a tank. Anyone who's owned one of these will vouch for how sturdy they are. Goes like s**t off a shovel. Even with the obnoxiously large pinion gear (outlined below) I'd still break traction when pulling away, even with nicely warmed Sorex 28 race tyres. The Bad: Bit dusty, needs a good spray down with a can of compressed air. Obnoxiously large pinion gear (27t). I raced at Kemble airfield so geared for that massive long straightaway. A few glue marks on the chassis from transponder/weight mounting. Paint job's a bit messy. (Someone told me to use sharpie to outline the stripes. It ran). Soldering's also a bit messy. I was 15 with a cheap iron and did the best I could. The Ugly: Couple of stripped screws. Will come out, but will need replacing. Pictures: As you can probably see, I've listed it as honestly as possible. I'm a little (very) out of touch, so (politely) let me know if I'm way off the mark here, but I was thinking
  2. Just FYI, if you're planning on using that 28-105 for low light stuff with that body without a flash, you're going to run into some big trouble with noise. My body has similar noise performance, and I shoot with an f2.5 lens as a minimum when shooting available light. Hence why I prefer to use a flash. Also, I'd recommend against a filter - they give weird flare when you shoot into the light. Some of mine: And this one I took on film:
  3. Assuming she's in the UK, 192.com is good. I've traced a few people using just their name and approximate location.
  4. Upgraded my (currently shelf queen) TA05 to carbon years ago and just found the plastic chassis. Overall good condition, some minor marks on the bottom but otherwise OK.
  5. Hey all, long time no see! A couple of years back I had a lipo explode in my E-firestorm, and never got round to fixing it. Damage is mostly to the battery tray and the servo area (as I booted it as hard as I could into a pile of wet leaves the moment I saw smoke). Looks like it'll need a new chassis, servo saver and some miscellaneous steering gubbins. It's also pretty rusty as it was put away wet a few times, but all the bearings spin well (I put new bearings in the hubs just before it exploded) and the gearbox is in good nick. Rear tyres are shot, as are the rims. Front are fine. No shell, as the lipo burned a hole right through it. I know these things are indestructible, so it's probably not as bad as it looks As you can see it's not worth much, so
  6. Been ages since I've been around here O.o I have here for sale a Vapextech 7 cell 3700mah ni-mh battery, bought in error by a friend. Brand new, never used. Comes with a mini-tamiya plug, but I can solder on a deans connector if required.
  7. Damn, not been here in months...

      you aint missed much fella

  8. Is there anyone in Plymouth with a female deans connector I can borrow? Going airsofting tomorrow, and need to solder up my spare battery.

  9. I bought a TV for a fiver, but no remote with it. If I get a universal remote control, do I have to program it to the TV, or does it 'just work'?

    1. KYOSHOKEV

      you have to program it first there should be a list of tv`s on the package as to wich code you have to put in

      Just go on ebay and see if you can get the same remote for your tv you will prob get one for a couple of quid

      The correct remote is a £11, a universal one is £2. If it's just a code to punch in that's fine, I was having visions of having to point a remote at it and press buttons XD

  10. That's actually not a terrible price, I can't see one in similar condition going for much less on ebay.
