My new MJX Hyper go 14209 1/14th rock racer, this looks a lot of fun, maybe the truck i should of got instead of the Kyosho Tacoma, i have been considering this MJX for over a year and a special on Banggood swayed me i Paid £98 posted for this 2S/3S brushless beast, of course it came with all the usual bits like a full set of extra wheels an tyres plus a full set of spare suspension arms, cant argue with that

Typhon grom from modelsport

Soaking wet Sunday so started putting the electric stuff in the new RC 🙂. Blew the dust of the heater and got me and Captain Mog all warm 😄. He's in his little den under the bench , it's got all my foam and spare covers shoved into so its mega soft.

Did a little bit more on my Turbo Scorpion, only LEDs, paint the drivers head and glue the tyres left

Got my IR60 build running.

We seem to be having a lot of new members joining posting links from viagra to time shares and a bottomless pit of just the right rc bits thats been advertised as wanted….. Please may i ask that if any of you come across such a post or member, please hit the report button, that way we can deal with it asap. thank you guys and gals

After taking a little break from RC iv fallen down the RC tank rabbit hole, just a 1/16 scale heng long tiger 1 I'm shocked at how big they are in person...

Finally got rid of the last of the Reedy electrics in the Element Gatekeeper now got a HW 18080 esc and an injora 5slot 19t motor, very smooth and speed is about just right

Watched my son fix his mjx. Alloy wing replaced with brand new stock one as it was weak and showed signs of stress. Also swapped out the front and rear shock towers for Alloy ones. Well happy with him as I didn't have to help him at all 😊

I've finally completed painting my first shell. I am absolutely in love with it, while it was super complicated at times it was still a very fun experience. Now its just to add the stickers and he'll finally be completed. Now time to paint my other two bodyshells and everything will be complete. Thank you @SimplyChunk for all your help these past few weeks with the entire building and painting process. I don't think I could've done this without you ❤️

Soo...We got fed up with waiting for the weather and took people advice on building a spray booth 😄 It worked really well so thank you all for that. Mine is just stickers away now 😄 @Skyesgaming one is getting there. She's opted for a much more complicated 3 colour paint scheme so it'll still take a little time. Luckily she has someone experienced behind her to help 🙂

Driving it in the kitchen 🤟. The light is terrible in the kitchen but the stone floors are great for sliding the little grom.

And a new 2mm MIP hex driver . I seem to have worn my old one out took over a year but seems they are not bullet proof every thing wears down eventually I suppose. I am a bugger for double checking screws and tightening a little bit too much 😆.

New motor and esc combo for the incoming kagama and bits n bobs for the TRX 4 get the shocks all like new with a few rebuild kits. New bumper mount for the Maxx truck plus over priced suspension limiting strap's for the UDR getting sick of the rubber ones snapping 😄, kept telling myself I'll make some but never got around it.

Took the crawlers out around a local spot, seems the big trucks been about having fun so loads of places drive in with the tiny trucks 😄

Took a break from the the hobby for a year. Decided to make a return by embracing the micro life.

This should be a cracking build!

A bit of 1972 out of a collectors loft! I’m drawn to the smell of an old RC car

This is an entirely 3d printed buggy from a company called Cactus Craft https://cactuscraft.info/?gi=368a7e512c895b43200c976f94839bcf41dd8bc0 similar scale to the Orlandoo Hunter models. Will be running twin 35amp ESC’s with twin 2450kv drone motors (one in each rear wheel) pretty much built now, just need to trim and solder the motor wires to the esc and cram it all into the chassis .

I glued my first set of tyres today and didn't stick anything I shouldn't have!

Iv received some taigen metal upgrades for it too.

These ickle groms look well fun 😊. Plus they don't take up much room ... must resist pressing buy on model sport basket as I got one in it but already spent my pocket money this mouth. Daz needs to eat 😆

Got a few more goodie from my fav place aliexpress... Alloy shock towers and stock spoiler for my sons hyper go. 4 more recievers for my dumborc ddf-350 and 2 lipo bags

Fitted new gearing to the savage xs and a new servo while I had it stripped down. Also a new front arm to the hyper vse

Tried out a new spot today with a few others and I'll defo be going back Gave my mate a go as he thinking of getting one. 2 mins later 😭

The badgers are all over the rock crawl section at night. The squirrels seem to like the bridge...

Waited a month for this

Done a bit more. Due to welfare concerns over some of my rc rigs from forum members @Andy-Roo😂. I have added a guard rail. It's a big drop down a steep hill at that point of the crawler course so I thought best not be daft.

I've been adding to the north shore section. I had to calm this section down a little. You wouldn't think so looking at it. Very steep again with a nasty turn. Still lots to do. I've given it a test, it's very technical. I need to get another post or two in and bring it back down. I'm definitely going to build more it's really good fun to drive on.

Took the crawlers Riverside RC. My Dad got to drive my bronco as the new tyres on his Coyote couldn't get grip, I think being a light truck and stiff tyres not a good combo 😅

More what did you do FOR your models today.. When I moved in to this flat in December I found myself in possession of this wonderfully large cupboard complete with 13amp socket and light 🙂 So I decided to turn it in to a little workshop for all my cars and computer maintenance 🙂 I built the workbench for it today. it's just made up of scrap MDF from desks and things from my old flat and it's on 6, 1100mm breakfast bar legs so it's comfortable to work on while standing (I used to have a standing height desk in my old place for soldering and such) I think it'll be a good place to store and work on my cars and computers as well as somewhere to put all my tools 😄

Spent the day being all turbo nerd 🤓 scale driving the UDR around the local country park and getting to fuss dogs who come up for a nosey 😄. Noticed a terrible wobble on the front off side wheel on last pack , the inner wheel bearing had shat its self and little ball bearing shall forever be in the sand of park hall country park 😆. You know them little jobs you keep saying I'll do it next time, we'll I knew the bearings are on the way out but that's for another day I kept saying 🙈 good job for spares.

Hobby plus CR-18 pro axle housing, this should allow me to flip the rear diff and hook up to the reverse transmission output shaft and eliminate a lot of torque twist, also som e AAA batteries for the small TX`s, as last lot i got were naff, wont be fitting this just yet as i have ordered metal drive shafts so may as well do all in one

Postman brough @Skyesgaming and I a pair of cheap flush cutters each today 🙂 (Hopefully that means I can get my 20 quid imported Xurons back in my soldering box 😄 ) Have a screen shot cause they've been put away in the tool boxes now 🤣 Also not postman but... Took Skye to see it. Good film. Totally unnecessary sequel but better than I'm anticipating the Edward Scissorhands 'Dance Number' to be at the end of the month 🙂

Evening folks, Just popping in a placeholder thread for my upcoming build now that "The Bandit" has found a new home. Another scale on road build but this time a van instead. I've had the body printed and it should be arriving tomorrow. Another RCeveryday chassis is also inbound too. I've already finalised wheel and tyre choice. Sticking with the tamiya semi racing tyres but this time opting for some proline 5 lug 1.55 slot mag wheels. Here's a couple of starter images to tease you all, otherwise keep an eye on the thread for updates throughout the build.

A couple of roof racks for my lcg rigs.

Nothing, that is no damage 😄 , spent all day at the local RC club, used 3 rock crawlers and raced the typhon, didn't break one of them, Result 👍👍

yehh its about the same addiction wise mate as for sitting it depends what type of fishing your doing spinning and fly fishing your standing and moving about float fishing or sea fishing yes you are mostly sitting but you also see a lot of wildlife like on Wednesday fishing for trout a Heron was on the casting platform less than 8 feet away from us and was cool to watch

I love the sound of that drive train 😄 Little test fit of 'Sid' while Skye builds her TT-02 🙂 Think i'm gonna obscure the top screw with the spot lights that came with the buggy rider pack 😄

Not had a lot of free time but have had time mulling over light bar or not... Few years ago I dismantled a cheap LED key ring and hooked it up on a rig, one spare in the drawer so "be rude not to!!" Printed a plate and surround, extended the wires and put the electrics under the spare wheel

Yesterday rather than today. Finished building this and maiden run.

Went out for a little shake down session and glad I did as so many things didn't go to plan but all will be sorted before I go to bed as I won't sleep unless it all done

Eventually got round to putting some batteries in my Kyosho Mini Z…. Bought more for show than using. Well couldn’t not really considering this is my daily. Then went a little retro re-fitting an LRP v7.1 ESC and modified motor to my old racing Losi. Then this evening decided to go a little more retro… Also took the Mad Bull out earlier. Which went well until the servo horn snapped. All fixed now and decided to swap the motor over too.

@Andy-Roo LMAO reading that mate 🤣 I've got a injora hard body wrangler with action figures, I've got to get a video of that going over. I thought about driving my Mojave grom over, do some donuts on the shed roof and back down 😂

Quite modest by comparison but finished my first course yesterday literally minutes before my MN82 arrived.

This bit is ready for testing. Quite a gnarly section. I'll be able to make more routes off in different directions. I saw one of the squirrels walking over it earlier. It was heading across the big bridge to the shed roof 😂

Here's a few pictures of the rc crawler north shore section Not 100% finished but it's driveable I took the element for a test run

I’m off work this week. So inevitably paid a visit to my lhs. Walked out with a trx4 defender in blue. My boy has taken a shining the 4m I have so I obviously needed another crawler! Then to top it off, I got home to find my latest hobbycomps win has arrived 😀

desert lizard shocks for the rock buggy, 25spline servo saver for the typhon, thread lock,and shock oil, will keep me busy for a bit
