I was going to get one from germany but they added about £100 to the price. I think they see the UK price and decided to be greedy lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumadoken Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I am looking to get one of these ! IS the only way to get one at decent price is shipping from US and get slammed with customs import tax afterwards? Which probably will work out similar to the price in modelsport http://www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?product_id=387857&gclid=Cj0KEQjw9tW5BRDk29KDnqWu4fMBEiQAKj7sp9k2MG3lBu9R8db7WfYHS7GIM3d8kzSR2YwmmMEZKaMaAhAd8P8HAQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetoR Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Unfortunately, you won't be able to get it cheap, anywhere. However, having just finished building it, you can see where all the cost lies. Ok, I might have spent all today and most of last night building it... but I couldn't help it! This is, quite simply, the best kit I've ever built. The quality of the plastics is simply second to none. There are lots of nice, clever touches, and I love how everything is both oversized and heavy-duty, yet flexible, to take massive hits. And there is zero... none... nada... nein... sweet F.A. slop throughout the steering and suspension! I am seriously impressed! Still need to pick up a servo, paint the shell and tidy the wiring (no idea why the castle motor has such long cables), but she's already looking like a good 'un. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Love mine that much I bought another one minus wheels and shocks as spares, but seriously considering building it up as a short course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 It'll be a short, short course....the SC/Buggy chassis is a fair bit longer than the MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Damn, might just build it up as another mt then, as long as I don't break any more half shafts, used my last spare one yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 How have you managed to break so many?? Not sure I want to meet you for a bash....it feels as if it will be hard on the wallet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Haven't a clue, first one was possibly landing on one wheel from about 8 foot, yesterday's was when it got it's nose in the air and had a slight wobble. Wondering if thinner diff oil might stop so much pressure on one wheel Edited May 15, 2016 by hitman Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, the swami went in the bin, when I returned the Jumpshot to stock, for trade-in. It was bent waaaay out of shape, had many holes drilled in it and generally looked pretty horrid. Plus, the wheels were Traxxarse, and branded, as such. After the X-Maxx debacle, I don't want any of my products displaying theirs!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetoR Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Pro-Line Pro MT Vs Losi High Roller Unfortunately, I still don't have a camera that can do any of my RCs justice, but it's still very obvious which one wins!! Also, I used to think my HPI Jumpshot bodyshell looked badass! The brutal Pro-Line Sentinel simply makes it look silly! OK, I'll stop now.

Thank you 4 hours ago, alex97 said: How did you get that paint effect? It's very easy: 1- I sprayed 3 layers of tamiya translucent red. 2- Then, using a sandwich bag as a glove, repeatedly sprayed the "glove" with tamiya bright silver and randomly smeared the underside, just going mental. 3- Sprayed more layers of translucent red. Finished the can. 4- Repeated the glove and silver technique, using a fresh sandwich bag. 5- Sprayed several layers of tamiya black. The silver blocks the black from coming through, so anywhere there is silver comes through as dark metallic red. Where there is no silver, the black overwhelms the translucent red, so it comes through as black. Did that makes sense? If not, I will be uploading the video I took, over the weekend. So you can see it happening. Edited May 19, 2016 by Praet0r87 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
