Looked what turned up today 😂. Did a little costings and so far I’ve actually not done bad, I sold all the bits off and saved on buying from Germany and not getting stung import tax. So now I’ve got a fully upgraded drive train new combo and servo a pair of 3s lipos and now these for just over £40 more than a stock one 👍

A GPM diff holder for the rear of the Big Rock. Not sure if it will make a difference but have suffered 2 X broken rear input gears in less than 2 years so wondered if this might help keeping the mesh more consistent.

Landed on a lamppost.

Good luck 👍🏻

Slash 1/16 scale wheel/tyre options
dtokez replied to dtokez's topic in Buggies, Truggies & Stadiums
Hi Gaz, I think it may have been your old slash actually, I bought it off here about 3 years ago? I'm not too up to speed on what fits and what doesn't, are the hex's compatible if I found some 1/10 touring car wheels to fit? I'm hoping to find something a bit more aggressive than the stock set up 🙂 Cheers mate -

I wonder if this year will see many more people decide to make videos.

Thought I'd restart this thread, I'll be re-starting my channel very soon getting some bits together to bring some new content soon but see my old trailer from a few years back for now 😉 https://youtu.be/rM2KcrSakw8?si=pxheZMAathTu_Ksq

Useful if you race or like to play around with settings personally, I got a OTA programmer that ive installed into my buggy, which helps with tweaking as you drive
-
New to RC, built a kit and really wanting to see how it goes. Based in Greenwich, any good spots round here?

I bought aluminium spacers and steel shims off Ali express. Plastic spacers are 3.5mm, I used 3mm spacers and 0.5mm shims.
-
Never had a 1/5 scale and got an itch to get one, but probably brushless, not a gasser. What voltage are they typically 8s or 12s? Like the 30 degree north buggy but it doesnt have a centre diff.
-
So you made brass 1's to replace the plastic spacers ?
-
UNBROKEN... Quite by chance I picked up this book from an old red telephone box near me that has been turned into a mini library! I think it's been turned into a movie but its a gripping read that tells the true story of the guys who fought for us in WW2 and the cruelty of the Japanese. Really think that everyone should read this and appreciate what these people went through to give us our freedom today. Also, along the same lines, a book I read some time ago, "The forgotten Highlander"...another true story of the bravery of our ancestors.

I know what you mean, I have to do various asbestos courses because of my job, and renew them every few years. Even ciggaretts had it in their filters, and still today some do in some places. Anyway... I can tell you there is far more of it in the UK than you think, and while we're not allowed to make stuff with it the amount that comes in inside products from othet countries is quite surprising. Espacially from china.
-
Yes the spacers that slide onto the same pins as the gears. My suspicion was they melt and the gears move along the pins
-
Where were the plastic bushings? The tiny things?
-
Quite a few yes, but not many in the UK due to stricter laws than the overseas lax health laws. Basically all fine dust is bad to breath in. All asbestos can lead to cancer if breathed in. Gave up reading Facebook RC groups regarding the recent recalls. The members seem to be either young and stupid, old and stupid, or just pretending that they don't care about getting cancer in older years. Ridiculous views that they have on the matter. I left a few groups because I decided to leave them too it.
-
What state were the plastic bushings in?
-
I bet you'd be surprised how many things still contain it these days... I don't know what does but I'd be willing to bet loads of things do.
