James.S Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Hey, my name's James, i'm 25 and from a lovely little rural village called Finchdean, in Hampshire. About 10 miles from Portsmouth I've been into RC cars since I was about 8 years old. Got my first hobby grade car at 12, which was an HPI Rush Evo. Pretty good car to be honest. Plenty fast for me back then. 2 years later I replaced that with a Team Losi LST2. Awesome bit of kit. Haven't really been into the scene for the last 10 years, but watched some videos on Youtube (mostly Kevin Talbot) and really fancied getting back into it . I Just bought myself a WL Toys 144001 and loving it. It's excellent for the money. Only paid £65! Can't wait to get myself another 1/8 scale model. Probably some kind of truggy. Either that or attempt to get my LST up & running again and tear up my local offroad track. Anyway, that's a little bit about me. I used to be a member on this forum when I was alot younger but god knows what my account name or password was, haha. But It's nice to be back and I look forward to becoming part of this community. Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Sutherland Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I lived in Southsea for the most part. It is stunning up here, and a much slower pace of life. Luckily I've invested in some good waterproof gear🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm often working down that way, or shopping if the other half drags me down there! 😋 Yeah i bet it's lovely & chill. And you can get some decent property for the money up there too, can't you?

ManicZ Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 nope, trying to figure out a workaround for this one, there is a capacitor pack I can solder on that supposedly fixes it, if all else fails I'll do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
