  1. Oh, is there still much there? TBH, since the cinema opened up, I assumed that was all closed off? Years back, my mate used to fly his RC plane around there (Yes, I am showing my age a bit!)
  2. Oh, that's actually not a bad hop up then, for under
  3. Cool - Let me know when; hopefully I'll have a free weekend coming up soon... and at least one car back in working order!
  4. Hi All, Before I bite the bullet and order a new ESC, I'm after a bit of advise! My Blackfoot, fitted with a Tamiya TEU-104BK seems to be stuck in reverse mode since its last outing. Forward is fine, steering is fine, and it brakes.. but it will not reverse any more! I've tried all I can think of... - Recalibrated everything - Checked batteries, 2nd battery and freshly charged - Swapped the input ports, so the steering controls the throttle - still nothing - Tried to reconfigure by holding the button down and releasing at various points (Light on / light off), tried this at least 20 times.. But no, it wont let me reverse! After releasing the button on the ESC with light on OR off, it always flashes twice (To tell me reverse is disabled and battery cut off is on - cant change either. The button DOES work, as it lets me re calibrate etc. Now the only thing I can think of, it that it was a little rainy when I last used it... but its been left to dry for a week almost! Any thoughts? Is there a 'factory reset' option? Alternatively, any recommendations on a cheap replacement ESC... and I guess I should upgrade the motor then too! Cheers!
  5. Cool - Hopefully I'll be along for the next one.... Once the replacement parts have arrived*, and I've had chance to repair the weekends damage!! I'd forgotten the joys of RC ownership, and the amount of time I should prepare for repairs vs time on the road... Although as an Alfa owner, I should be used to this! *Snapped the chassis / frame on my Stampede following a VERY bad landing on its nose... New bits on order, including a new bumper / skidplate as well... and Driveshaft, managed to bend that and snap the gear into the driveshaft.... Did I mention it was a bad landing? ** And maybe fried the ESC on my Big Foot - Tamiya 104BK constantly flashing ***-***-***-*** since Sunday - Diddnt get 'bashed' but it did start to rain, I think I've been VERY unlucky and maybe got some water in the ESC... will try and reconfigure it when I get a moment, could do without shelling out on a new ESC too!!!
  6. And.... I clearly diddnt know how to use that search function. Like an Idiot. Having now figured out how to use my keyboard, think I'll be off to Wick (BMX Track) later this avo!
  7. Hi All, Quite new to the RC scene, or rather, back into it after a 20 year break! Looking for advice on any good locations that people use, preferably south Bristol, for bashing and messing about?? Ideally something a little 'off road'? Cheers, Hoggins
