Are you in the industry Guns? Na, not in the trade im a Trading Deputy Store Manager for Sainsburys lol. But you can get a return flight from Manchester for £26 (Ryanair so plus fee's Im guessing) to Nuremberg, stay there for a few days drinking German Beer and eating Bratwursts whilst looking at toys would be pretty cool!

Basher 46 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Not unless my Mrs will accept us not going the Maldives this year ? Im in the dog house for leaving the order form for a new 1:1 car out without talking to her first. Imagine she came home to another big truck! Regarding the Nuremberg Toy Fair. My best pal collects them 1:2 scale F1 helmets, we were considering going to Nuremberg Toy Fair this year hah. Left it too late mind, its in 2/3 weeks!Ah school boy error What is the new 1.1 ?Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Potentially just gonna Lease a Scirocco R. They're avaliable on a 1+23 deal lease deal, and now my mrs drives I only do about 5/6k miles a year it makes alot of sense. I currently have a 2013 model (owned not leased) and its coming upto the age/mileage where it needs work (I had all new brakes and a service last week), its going to need at least a pair of 19" Tyres within a couple of months and then theres the cambelt and MOT in April. Obviously the cheaper more sensible option is to keep mine and spend the grand or so, and not have to deal with the hassle of selling it etc. But the allure of a brand spanker with warranty, no worries etc is tempting me. I have till 28th Feb to decide and send the paperwork back to ensure a 2017 plate in March, but Ive already picked the colour, options etc. Im just backing out at the last minute each time lol.

mydoddy69 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 The Losi is a beast but why you'd want it to be brushless is beyond me keep it as it is I say I got to get me one of them this year So anyway max5 in fitted wired up and ready to go im well happy with that even if I do say so myself, could have left the cable tie off but thought nah bit of added sercurity never hurts I've put a vid together well I'm trying too but some of it didn't quite come out for some reason so if it's no good I'll post up pics from it instead . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripoffbritain Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 What I find really annoying is trying to undo the screws on the top of the chassis when removing either the front or rear section it's always full of stones stuck well in their Anyway I bought some 8mm rubber bungs to cover the hole nicely, thats my top tip for the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petrols not even good for 1:1s anymore.... Dying breed. Tesla's FTW. The Petrol part of it does nothing for me. I like my Jato been nitro but I only keep it around as its something different. Too noisy, messy and fiddly. Looks good Mydoddy. I WANT that fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Electric is history in 1:1 as well - was state-of-the-art 110 years ago ... OK, people have BL motors and make batteries out of 5,000 LiPo cells ... wasting huge resources ... Honestly don't see electric cars lasting long ... in current (!!!) format anyway. Hydrogen powered IC motors are the way forwards - emitting .... water!! Wouldn't mind having a go of a Tesla, but wouldn't buy one .... not a 'man's car'!!

Haha nice to see you over here fella and thanks for that, on the stock 1600kv I am but I will run the odd 8s end of day pack for a bit of madness, I might pick up one of those new 1275 and run 8s at some point but I'm in no rush I'll total this motor first ..

How you liking your 8s beast so far ? Loving it so far, my first 2 runs did not go so well, as I had installed the kershaw heavy duty slipper spring but unfortunately did not add enuff washers before the thrust bearings so I was essentially tightening up against the barrel of the layshaft. I have 4 runs so far on it, nothing has broke other than a nice crack in the body, I am wondering if Traxxas has tightened up the tolernce on the bulkheads, watched your vid on shimming the diffs, but I could not get it to seat into the bulkead, with it shimmed, so I pulled the shims and so far no issues. No jumping yet, just enjoying it as a ground pounder for now, I will wait for warmer temp to jump it, couple of vids.... I like the auto imbed 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
