The chain of Hotels I work for had this happen in a Derby Hotel. Blew the socket off the wall and a chunk of the wall with it. Thankfully guest in room when it happened, But we turn ALL charging equipment off now, as unless your there to watch it.......

Have one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321505443090 Same chassis etc. I can confirm its cheap kids stuff. Only saving grace is the lipo tbh as it gives it a decent run time and a good wee bit of oomph. Micro T absolutely beasts it on 2s tho. We had them in drag races and the T was off!!! Tho they were and still are fun to race, but im just waiting for something to break. There cheapo disposable RC fun. At

At first, i thought this was how HPI were now packaging spares. Which if it were would be great! If there selling these as accessories then sorry but F-O! Can buy about 100x resealable bags for a pittance on ebay and indeed many other places.

10mins is a massive amount of time for a fire. It would have engulfed the shed in less than a minute, the other 9 mins would have seen it almost liquify. We do a talk every year for new employees on how fast fires take hold. Theres a bit in it where we show them a group of people who were invited to a try a new ice cream. They werent, the fire alarm goes off instead. It wasnt until someone put fake smoke almost 7mins in that one person gets up to leave. Its 20mins before the rest decide to follow as a group. Fires take hold fast, so even with all that flammable stuff in there im not surprised it burned as hard as it did. And yeah 10mins is a massive amount of time when this kind of scenario is involved.

Fitted 3rd center driveshaft of summer then, had a faultless run!! All Ive had is issues this summer, was nice to just get it sorted and running.

Got mine out for a run today. Finally everything is in place and running smooth after my radio gear failing at start of summer, then all the issues I had with my 1st castle motor going thermo nuclear on me. Runs a little hot as I aint using mechanical brake and am geared 17/48, but the motors taking it np and not tripping overheat on ESC. So am happy. Out again tomoz if its dry

Where ya get the T-Bones and Wheely Bar?

Never had happen.

Run a 2200kv castle in mine on 5s and 17t pinion and I get temps of 60-70c. Ran a 2350kv Trackstar and even on a 20t pinion it took half to 3/4 of a battery before it got hotter than 85c. Even then my ESC over heat just kicks in and I wait 10mins to cool. No biggy, or wasnt when it used to happen. Castle motors run a bit cooler than most other motors, or have for me in the past.

Pure truggy ****

Good to see more D8T owners in the club tbh. Was worried that they were getting a bit out of date and out of stock in places. Tho seems a nice burst of support for them again with the Tessman and folk getting the older models i assume a little cheaper. Love mine to bits, the one RC Id NEVER give away. I know its just a shell but the look of it and the design of the front and rear arms just make me happy . Need to beg/borrow/steal me a set of Joes tho.

I would start at a 15t pinion and go up in 1 or 2 from there. Found a 20t to be too much for 5s using a 2350kv Trackstar motor. Tho currently running a Castle 2200kv and 17t pinion which hasnt topped 61c yet so think Im safe there. Tho this is all 5s, not 6s. Not the full kit as i run a D8Te Tekno conversion, but interested in new parts. May hunt them down some point as hop-ups Had mine out last week to get my Castle motor properly aligned and running, which I did before shunting it into a parked car and bending my main drive shaft for 2nd time in 2 months. So waiting on new one from U.S. at the moment. Hope its fast-ish as Im off for 2 weeks from tomoz and NEED my D8T!!!

Great Trucks, love mine!! Goes like stink on 5s!!

Mine broke after 2 uses. Simply just would not send a signal. Utter rubbish. The GTC3 is the dodgiest one. The GTB3, not so much. Id say your better of with an Abisma C.R.3.P. Based on same transmitter, but more reliable and supports the same RX that the Flysky uses.
