Any idea if it will take the locking diffs and 2 speed box? If it does I think I’ll get one ordered. Been on the lookout for another 1/10 crawler after my boy has finally shown some real interest in the RC’s with the trx4.

It has a 2 speed gearbox, if i am understanding correctly, if the locking diffs dont fit in the axles, the axles themselves are a direct swap, i was wanting to do some testing today, but again things have gotten in the way

Something a bit different. Got this for my boy as he’s mad about military strategy games on the PC at the moment and kept eyeing this up in the model shop.

He’s already done a battery pack on it! Yes it fires bb’s. No instructions whatsoever so had to ask YouTube how to activate the shooting function. Shoots so fast that you can’t really see where the bb’s have gone. The recoil and smoke are nice touches too.

Yes though I think I might have to shave a little bit of material off of the battery tray where the wires come out, it doesn't need much removing but it would make closing the battery door a bit easier.

How are you liking the gen ace?I have two 7200mah zeees.One is good for about 15 mins but only get about 10 mins out of the other one.

No issues with it so far and I've been getting a good constant 10 mins or so each run so far :good:

All you need to do with them mate is remove the rubber seal out of them so that if things do go pear shaped the gasses can escape

Dunno not tried them yet 😆 suppose I should give them all a test tonight see if they work before the return window closes. Tell you what they do seem very premium with the metal cases and they even come with little screws and sticky back tape.

 

Running this spare big fan I got a while ago takes a beating but my god is it loud sounds like a drone is stalking my Kagama but cools it like ****

I got a knock off rocket fan last year it lasted a while but never really worked that well kept cutting off for no reason 🙄 so got these see what all the fuss is about but had to fight with my inner skint flint self ( "Daz you don't need them fix the other one our buy them cheapo none branded ones off eBay" ...."No Daz we both know they will die within minutes of seeing fresh air, go look through the scrap bin to find stuff we can use in the future....."fine but your not buying anything else for that X maxx or I will wake up at 2am and make you think about all the little RC jobs you keep putting off" )

I paid far far too much for this. 
 

Continuing my Gran Turismo Fetish, I needed this, and was extremely excited to see this been re released. However, it appeared to be a Japan only release due to the licensing for the Renown decal I believe? However as soon as it was released in Japan, they sold out and they turned up on Buyee. Buyee scares me. I dont understand it, and I dont like not knowing what the postage is. I found one on eBay and to be fair to the seller, it arrived 6 days later. I did get caught for a £65 customs charge, but DHL handle it so much better than Parcelforce. It got dispatched, I was emailed with a customs request, which I paid all whilst the product was on a plane! Compare that to Parcelforce who seem to take a week to even get the customs notification to you….

 

I guess if this had released in the UK, at a normal RRP for a Group C Chassis, I couldve bought 2 for the cost of this but hey, Ive saved a fair bit on my Avante and Egress from Tamico lately.

£65 eBay win, mustn't grumble but, the throttle delay does suck B's

 

As ugly as it is I do kinda ironically like the animé aspect of it. Of COURSE I've got retro shells from phat bodies in the post. Deffo gonna do a boomerang 'homage'
