Recommended Posts

well, stormbringer made it home this time without a sore leg, almost a sore head thoughrofl.gif and i made it with just a burnt fingerlaugh.gif damn wheel bearingslaugh.gif

ive got my car all fixed up and ready to fight again, ended up grinding down some M8 washers to fit behind the wheel squares to space them out from the bearings, so no more toasty fingers and melted wheels hopefully. i would be lost without my bench grinder, i can bodge anything on itlaugh.gif almost.

sy100 - that guy that was with you was a bit insanelaugh.gif he was doing like 50ft jumps and didnt even break anything??cool.gif

another good day, albeit a little shorter than last time. when are we meeting again then?biggrin.gif

lol ouchey smile.gif

ive still not worked out what was up with the radio gear on the dbx i might just get some 2.4ghz gear for it if it keeps acting up smile.gif

when i done the model boats a few years ago, i found that a couple of my servos would twitch sometimes. turned out that it was cheapy servos causing it. i wonder if it could be a similar problem? do you have another set of xtals you could try?

im also thinking about the 2.4ghz system, a spektrum can be had for what? about £85? and atleast if i did get one i can get a remote killswitch for my engine lol

rofl.gif owned lol

indeed, why women should stay awaylaugh.giftongue.gif

quality. i was a member of the 'lang toun model boat club' we used the beveridge park in kirkcaldy. i even won the 2005 scottish steering and docking thingylaugh.gif

between me and my dad we had a harbour work boat, a huge big tug that was scratch built by my dad and also a big warship type thing. the warship could shift, twin 800 or 850 motors i cant remember which but it could lift the front end out the water and made a fair amount of wake.

i was better at steering the boats than the cars but you might have already guessed thatrofl.gif

i recently switched the receiver out of my dbx for the one in my brushless stinger that had some cheapo 2.4ghz stuff to test it and now the problem is gone :)

im guessing something in the car was resonating at 27mhz and causing interference since the same thing happened at the quarry we go to as well, since putting in the stingers 2.4 receiver the dbx has been running like it should be so good and cheap 2.4 upgrade there and long range :)

do any of you guys play pc games and have steam btw? my steam id is yrkoon99 if any one wants to add me and have a game at some thing (multiplayer games are always better when you can put a face to the name) :)
