It will get used properly. Just getting all my mods done so I can have one fleeting moment where it’s all shiny and new. i didn’t get out yesterday as it started raining and i decided to swap out the rx box with one from my rustler so I don’t have to make an extension for the motor.

Brought brand new followed instructions on how to start and nothing. Noticed on back of engine at the bottom there is a bolt missing. Could this be my problem. Can someone help me

Too Nice to chuck about on the gravel mate.

Thanks , spent over 2 years getting all the parts together to build it , got a box full of marked parts that I am going to build into a runner to abuse.

Wow Nice ! I am guessing you won't be ragging it round your local BMX track.

Used rcmodelz allot and the service is very good , delivery is also super quick .

reposted pic with info removed

when it arrives i will let you know if i had to pay or not but ive just realised theres personal info on it so gonna delete pic

So if I got one from China does the courier collect relevant taxes ?

Hmm this says that vat has been included but guess find out when it arrives

@Lone-wolf @Stormbringer please bare in mind your advice is only true for orders under £135. I dont believe Aliexpress are allowed to collect VAT on orders above £135 If you look at the Rovan 5B on AliExpress, for me anyway, its £410 shipped. Add it to your basket, the price drops to £341, but youre then liable for the VAT/Customs/handling charge. In this case Id budget £80ish. I say ish. Ill upload a screenshot in the next post.

Bump Run the Rc yesterday evening as I had a spare servo laying around and wanted to check everything run spot on which it did. The Rc is ridiculously fast from a pick up point of view and top end is good for a 4s motor set up. Handles spot on and tears up the tarmac. Only thing I would consider is gearing it down a tooth or two on the pinion as there was some heat in the system but as is run perfectly fine, maybe it just needs settings adjusting on esc but runs great as is, I would just be looking for optimal settings if I decided to keep it. Unfortunately servo didn’t last long as it was under powered and plastic geared 😂 but did manage to run the lipo’s down a full cycle approximately 8-10 mins before the servo gave up. So overall everything runs spot on, just needs treating to a quality servo and someone will own a great RC. cheers.

On Ali express you pay 20% at point of sale, you can add it to cart, go to check out and see what the total is and you should not pay any further charges

Postie brought a new Mobile phone................................and something rc, a clear Element Zuul body to put on my Gatekeeper chassis, and tomorrow another rc item sould arrive, a new pinion for the element as its so slow with the motor i fitted

Thanks for the advice all, it literally took brand new batteries in all the controllers and they're working fine, even though 1 of them worked OK with older batteries yesterday! I'd never have thought it would be something so simple, thanks again!!

Interesting, thanks.

not sure but i thought any taxes are included in the price for most sellers on ali express

Has anyone done this ? Only I fancy a Rovan Baja but I’ve only found them on Aliexpress. What taxes will I have to pay ? cheers

quite a range of vehicles
