Grogg Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Had my very first shot at thrashing around a petrol RC, and put the damn thing in the local river no less, and lost it. Thankfully it wasn't my RC, so I didn't lose a lot of money as the bloody thing sank. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RC4WD fan Posted July 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2023 Not much fully fixed the stampede and the body posts arrived for the cc-02 Range Rover build so now it’s finally sitting on the chassis the front might need to come back a couple of millimetres but I’m going to wait until I’ve decided on whether to get different axles or use wide offset wheels 🤔 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 The silicone and scrim shell is fitted, looks a dog's dinner, but it should take a few hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried a master grade or perfect grade yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie1 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Well i do have a canvas trolley with 4 wheels for carrying our tent and stuff that we used for going to music festivals i could probably use that 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCake Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Got out early with it which was nice as it has been quite a few weeks since I did any RC. Local woodland has a few jumps which I assume are thanks to some keen mountain bikers. I am still not great at air control but it came back with 0 breakages so a success in my book. Oh I can only jump left to right as well for some reason and right to left jumps are a big nope 🤣 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kpowell911 Posted July 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) Looked at the Tamiya's. Sold a few so this is the current line up. Just added the 992 GT3 mind. Edited July 22, 2023 by Kpowell911 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistonhead Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Started looking at getting into bashing again with a Hyper SSTe, only to randomly order a Tamiya Scania 770s instead lol. Been wanting one of these trucks ever since i first saw one around 15 years back. It’s going to be a good while before I start the build as i still need to gather everything together, already got my eyes on a set of wheels, i’ve got a good idea of what electronics i want for it, but will do a bit more research for the light/sound unit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having wanted one so badly for so long, i’m going to be doing the most in-depth research i’ve ever done for an rc project, this will be done right and exactly as I’ve envisaged - apart from the paint - that seems to be changing every few minutes lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
