oops keep forgetting about the last one lol

Err i got 6 lol but glad you got yours

very nice i was tempted by that myself

could it be cost of post and packing putting it up ?

Agree the the trx4,s are overpriced but they are good

went to parkley earlier and had tons of bites and dad caught 5 trout and i caught 3 🙂 really nice day again as well, the new wee fox reel is pretty awesome, casts good and is really smooth 🙂

Nice little haul mate

In the next few weeks, I am going to buy my first RC car. It will likely be a TT-02, as I want 4WD. Specifically, I will probably get the Tamiya 58682 ('1991 Audi V8 Touring'). My plan is to put this BMW X5 body shell on it and I want some wheels similar to the ones in the included photo. Unfortunately, Modelsport (as an example of one UK website) have 690x 1:10 scale wheels alone. That is so many and I have no idea what I can filter on the left-hand side to reduce the amount. Is anyone please able to assist?

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately I can't afford anything over £400 so the trx 4 bronco is out of the question as much as it would be nice. I always thought the electrics on the crawlers hampered their water crossing abilities, because of my element senderos water resistant electrics (the element is still mostly stock, apart from the overdrive, wheels and bash plates but I want to keep it as an underdog). I have always thought about a traxxas but I think they're overpriced a bit, I will look at used as well.

New addition 😊

This was before tax, something would be only pennies when browsing, then $7 once in the basket, then taxes added!

Creality aren’t bad, they just require some tuning. My mate has two and they do very well and he’s not modded them, just spent some time tinkering with the speeds and slicer. One is a K1 max and Iltye other is some kind of Ender, he rates them but knows they need tweaking to get the best from them. Bambu is definitely better if you don’t want the tuning to do, I know a guy with the A1(maybe) and he just raves about it and was glad he didn’t have much if any tuning to do. He is probably going to order another soon I think.

Only issue with a dust protector is temps, i put 1 on 1 of mine and i melted the centre plastic diff housing

When you went to pay for them? Some state including tax, some add it on when you pay for it.

Is there a best way to get good prices? I made a basket of bits and the prices all magically went up ☹️ Do I need to set up an account, or buy each bit separately or something? I'm new to AliExpress, can you tell? 😆

Please advoid Creality printers, Bambu is years ahead of them, either the A1 or A1 mini would serve you better.

Hi Thanks for the sites to visit i have been to them and made an account with a couple.👍 I Have borrowed a printer from work its a Creality Enda 3 v2 . Just done a first print of a colmans camping stove it looks a little ruff but not bad for first go. I think i might have had the nozzle a tiny bit to high it says to set up using standard a4 printer paper and the nozzle should scratch along the paper. Plus it was on standard quality might knock the quality up a notch next go. The sites you suggested where realy good and found some good free items to down load so i have a list of parts to make now lol Thanks again Regards John

Have pm'd you buddy.

Nice little haul from Injora a thin walled M5 nut driver for 1/18th wheel nuts a set of 45mm oil shocks for rock van and a set of scx24 c10 metal drive shafts to go on the mini texan plus some 1/10th wheel nuts in red but even better a Toolkitrc AC power supply for my M6 charger that was £10 used from ebay, puts out 20v 5amp so good for charging 2s 3s and 4s

Best option for a crawler is a nice used truck and replace all the bearings with bronze bushes, add plenty of light grease and run it through as much wet stuff as you like and just not worry about it

I think they should all be ok getting wet but best check see which one has water proof esc / servo most have I believe but always good double check. They all get water in them at some point if you like dunking them in the drink, I personally love taking my crawlers in every muddy puddle and creek I can find 😄. If you get some water resistant grease https://www.amazon.co.uk/Carlube-WPG500-Aquaslip-Marine-Waterproof/dp/B07XHN89WG and open up the gearbox and diff housings and apply a good slap of this stuff in and around the gears you'll be good to go 😁, just make sure you open it up from time to time see if needs cleaning up and reapplying. Cannot say anything about the ftx models you mentioned but I hear good things about them I know a few folks on here have some but I rock a beefy Traxxas trx 4 bronco and it's been bullet proof even when all water has gotten into the gears but that grease has help keep the water at bay. The trx 4 sport electronics are water proof I know that from first hand experience 😀.

Transmitter with gyro receiver will help keep it straight. I use this and you can set the gyro strength in fine increments with the little twisty knob plus the thing has loads of other features if you ever need them. Cracking bit of kit for the cash 🙂 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006143111413.html?src=google&src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=494-037-6276&isdl=y&slnk=&plac=&mtctp=&albbt=Google_7_shopping&aff_platform=google&aff_short_key=UneMJZVf&gclsrc=aw.ds&&albagn=888888&&ds_e_adid=&ds_e_matchtype=&ds_e_device=t&ds_e_network=x&ds_e_product_group_id=&ds_e_product_id=en1005006143111413&ds_e_product_merchant_id=109373297&ds_e_product_country=GB&ds_e_product_language=en&ds_e_product_channel=online&ds_e_product_store_id=&ds_url_v=2&albcp=17859500389&albag=&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwl6-3BhBWEiwApN6_khqVrKrWiqEVoqBJjrH4jCaSOp1WqRJgYsDFfdsvoXGw9jSfqOsFIhoCxoMQAvD_BwE

Well it's tickling my fancy only built two crawlers from scratch since being back into the hobby and building a modern version of a cool old school tamiya is started to look like a nice way spend the winter months in-between maintenance on the fleet. I shouldn't really be thinking of getting anything else to eat into hobby time I've already got a big ol'box of 40k orks to build and paint 😅.
