Hoggins Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Hi All, Quite new to the RC scene, or rather, back into it after a 20 year break! Looking for advice on any good locations that people use, preferably south Bristol, for bashing and messing about?? Ideally something a little 'off road'? Cheers, Hoggins Edited March 1, 2015 by Hoggins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoggins Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Cool - Hopefully I'll be along for the next one.... Once the replacement parts have arrived*, and I've had chance to repair the weekends damage!! I'd forgotten the joys of RC ownership, and the amount of time I should prepare for repairs vs time on the road... Although as an Alfa owner, I should be used to this! *Snapped the chassis / frame on my Stampede following a VERY bad landing on its nose... New bits on order, including a new bumper / skidplate as well... and Driveshaft, managed to bend that and snap the gear into the driveshaft.... Did I mention it was a bad landing? ** And maybe fried the ESC on my Big Foot - Tamiya 104BK constantly flashing ***-***-***-*** since Sunday - Diddnt get 'bashed' but it did start to rain, I think I've been VERY unlucky and maybe got some water in the ESC... will try and reconfigure it when I get a moment, could do without shelling out on a new ESC too!!!

Hoggins Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Oh, is there still much there? TBH, since the cinema opened up, I assumed that was all closed off? Years back, my mate used to fly his RC plane around there (Yes, I am showing my age a bit!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
