btiratsoo Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Hello all Ive just registered. Looking to get back into the hobby. I used to bash 1/8th monster trucks - XTM Mammoth and attempt to race a 1/8th buggy - GS Storm. I have been out of the hobby a while and I am thinking about going large scale with either an HPI Baja 5sc or a Losi 5T. Ive read all the threads that have been posted about the two and it seems I just have to make up my mind as to which one I want! I'm down in Hampshire so hopefully I'll be able to get up to a meet or two at Clanfield. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btiratsoo Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hello Rob. Hopefully I'll be up and running with a Losi 5T soon. How is Gosport BMX track for bashing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robocog Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Not been there for years (since its been done up) Only been tinkering with a new to me Revo - and been going to the new carpark by the side of the new Toolstation/KFC to try and get it dialed in (I don't think they have got anyone in any of the units yet, so its a completely empty carpark at the mo! - plenty of room to play in) There's a small patch of loose surface on the other side of those buildings - where they haven't yet laid tarmac and a couple of mounds of earth/chippings to play on Managed to snap the clutch into several little pieces today bashing on there, I may have found out the cause why it doesn't always want to idle?? Will be investigating the BMX track as soon as I'm happy I have the Revo as good as I can get it (though weekends is possibly not going to be ideal, I do also have Thursdays off, when it /should/ be deserted during school times) Regards Rob I used to run the Maxx there, and on the field next to it years ago The bombhole by the lifeboat station field claimed many a plastic part Last year we went on the lifeboat field for a picnic and there was a couple of chaps running 1/5th Baja type buggies I /almost/ wanted to run home and see if I could dig out the long forgotten Maxx Edited March 7, 2015 by robocog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
