Well, I have now increased my helicopter collection, mcx, mcx2, extra msrx. I blame @Nitroholic and @Stormbringer 😜😜 think that’s more or less the indoor helicopter that take the same battery sorted…🤪 maybe I better start to actually try and fly these…lol

Wow, that’s handy. Do materials etc cost a lot to 3d print?

I do like the look of that chassis and there is a lot of body options in that link, thats very interesting

Don’t think it was, just like the Roller version of the RTR

To be fair it does look magnificent I just wondered if they had randomly gone on an Amazon offer like the Arrma Infractions a while back. Was this TLR LMT not available in the UK or did I just make that up?

Too much 🤣🤣🤣 About £600 all in, I sold a expensive air pistol I wasn’t using much to lighten the damage 😂

What ever fits, there’s no hard and fast rules about what’s goes on a Monster Truck really 👍 https://jconcepts.net/monster-truck-bodies

That looks amazing mate, typical classic AJ build! How much did this work out at for the kit?

What kind of body goes with this as looking online the kit doesnt appear to come with 1?

It is seriously strong. Great for RC's 👍

A proper tuned exhaust pipe is the answer to more power

This reminds me of the hpi wheely king

Is it just me but does the dumbo and the absima have different colourings on the screen?

So the Dumbo does look like a really nice one for the money. The Absima semi re-branding/stickers probably adds a tenner, then shipping and warranty hassles and give the shop a profit. £30 isn’t likely too bad. I’ve seen things like that add more on other items. I think I’m likely to go for the Radiomaster MT12. The Spektrum just isn’t worth the difference in money as everyone has pointed out. My thinking is that with the MT12 I can use my current Rx that are in my models and for any new Rx I can buy new ones with telemetry for about £20. In all fairness I’m not sure I need the telemetry but it’ll be interesting to play with. The response times are good for the cost as well. I’m sure it’ll show me how slow my cheap servos are😂

when did hobbywing start putting their esc's in tamiya boxes with a black coloured heat sink in stead of the purpley pink hobbywing heat sink 1060? before i opened the wild one box i took a spare brand new hobbywing 1060 out its box and linked up all the eletronics i was gonna use, so i was super surprised when i opened the wild one box to see a 1060 with a black heat sink, is that standard for tamiya now? 1060 esc's in the box 🙂

Thanks for all the help, I've just got one last question, how do i make more power? should i use a different fuel like shell vpower? maybe get a high flow intake or a better exhaust? im planning to sell a nitro buggy so i can put a bit of money on improving the jama for around (£50-70)

No idea what it was but after stripping and rebuilding is working again 🤷‍♂️

they haven't changed a lot for the extra 30 quid have they?

VHB is good stuff

making good progress on the wild one 🙂

try a new glow plug see if it works if it doesnt you could try renewing all the fuel tubing as it may have a pinhole in it somewhere or loose on the nipples but renew it all

Some 3m dual lock tape. Didn't realise how serious this stuff is 👌

Yes it does have bubbles in the fuel like by the carb and the fuel lid is shut tight I will try a new glow plug tomorrow

Grab some acetone put In a locking container but don't put the rims/tyres directly in the acetone

Hoping i might have solved the issue where the steel droop screws on the arms gouge out the aluminium chassis. Ordered a couple of nylon tipped grub screws, not sure if they will work or if they are strong enough to last, only time will tell.
