Interesting post. Some 'minor' players make decent enough cars...but some also make utter junk. ACME ...I'm looking at you... As far as your choices went, the Annsman Virus isn't that brilliant a model either. Annsman make some OK cars and some less Ok ones, and unless it was hte upgraded Virus 2, it wasn't going to be any better than a budget make in terms of quality. Have to ask about tyres though.. I haven't ever had any real issues with factory glued tyres. All tyres need the occasional reglue, but that's just life. I tend to stick with more mainstream brands purely becuase spares are so much easier to get. I also tend not to leave my cars anything like stock, so having access to upgrade parts makes life so much easier. It can be done...but you have to scratchbuild a lot of stuff. I bought a Carson eStormracer for my youngest, and ended up upgrading a lot of the plastic bulkheads and braces with alloy ones...but I had to make them myself as the parts couldn't just be bought and bolted on. Not an issue for me, as I found it fun to do...but it's not everyones cup of tea. My biggest gripe with 'budget' cars is the fact that they get bought by novices, and are not really geared up to suit. Things like Team Infinity built motors have a reputation for being hard to tune and temperamental. A badly set up one is a pig to start....which is not good if you are trying to cope with one as a first nitro car. They cut corners to keep prices low.....but sometimes they should just bite the bullet..add a few

Thank you kind sir The devils in the details as they say... I'm looking to do it correctly the first time, so over summer i'm posting video after video and no pictures of broken bits

its cost.... a fair amount But its totally worth it When i'm putting it into the back of my 13 year old golf... It dawns on me just how much I've spent on this toy and my sincerest apologies jon, i forget the uneducated masses dont care for any form of enlightenment I shall look for a poor bajaless person to donate it too...

Proof that sarcasm doesn't transfer across the net. Anywhoo, looks very nice Joe! Daren't think how much this all cost

Don't know who's using these engines my force as held its tune since november last year well sort of miner tweaks taking weather into acount people's idea of engines holding their tune is very different running an engine in July isn't going to run right in December that ain't holding tune that's just how it goes with nitro if people want it simple go electric or buy a train set Fatboy

going to watch this

Thanks I'll soon find out how strong it is when I take it for a spin!

i have exactly the same body coming for my hyper tt and you stole my paint idea now i have to come up with something else lol (only joking) but i still may use the orange and black idea. how orange and red for your other one

Right, I've got 3 Proline stickers, 8.5 cm long by about 1cm tall and a pair of RPM stickers (as supplied with their parts) if u have any RPM bits fitted? Traxxas ones are odds and sods left over from my stickering new rtr shells and are their usual stuff - Traxcxas, Velineon, Brushless etc. Drop me a pm with your addy and a lsit of what you'd like and I'll sort you out mate

From what I have seen its very drivable, it's not the car it's who's in control of it ... Or not lol

hopefully we will have a good summer as we are haveing all the rain now, but we are in england so I won't get my hopes up lol

Its now 4wd!

RC Tip: When looking for an area to run your car, make sure it is one with many obstacles to keep you on your toes as an area with one single obstacle just lures you to hitting it at full speed

**** the law n **** the cops!

Got to redo the rear frame mate so i can mount the rear end without the arms and driveshafts fouling on the cage, got to mount the servo, find a place for the esc and receiver, fit the brushless system and then go get it dirty

if my xr10 is finished might have to come to this for a test run on it

Cheers mate I was thinking something along those lines, just need to get some pics and stuff and get it on the for sale section. Will miss it, its awsome but need a new (larger) turbo for my Impreza and she has to come first!

Just one thing mate, try uploading a better picture, I've been put off many an auction from the fact it's got a tiny picture, and not enough detail (not saying it in this case, just mean in general in the past) so that might help your sale buddy.

Set it to lipo, then tell it the voltage you want it to activate at. Fully charged, your cells will be 4.2 volts, the lvc will cut power when they drop to the selected voltage, ideally 3.4 volts per cell or 6.8 for a 2s pack etc.

Oh yeah forgot about that, the the blitz is a rigid little truck but as said will make it brittle Are you going to race or is it just for messing about with? Or both ?

Well I think I found out the culprit to the loss of drive on the rear, one of the rear wheels has stripped its hex, got a few spares so all should be good before bedtime

You got the wrong model if you dont want wheelies?

Dunno, it "just" fell off

better than a used one

unopened condom :|

I thought Cortina estate Nice work.

Your not a mod are you so shut up hampster, no one is arguing at all.

i run mine in damp grass works a treat

I had a Blast a few years back. It was a bit floppy to say the least, the plastics seemed very rubbery, I fitted rustler rear hub carriers and larger bearings. Also swapped the poxy screws for stainless ones and had a carbon chassis made. I made a delrin tray to hold my 3s lipo It was a lot stiffer with this my next effort was trying to fit a 48 pitch spurgear but to be honest even after shimming the diffs the quality of the plastics etc made it clear that this was never going to be a good 3s basher, it was no rustler, so I sold it and built the crt .5 up instead.

Tip 1 - Don't use Byrons 25% Nitro as a barbeque lighter. Tip 2 - If you fail on tip 1, don't invite the neighbour who's fence you are about to set fire to round to said barbeque. Tip 3 - If you fail on tips 1 & 2, don't eat anything cooked on what is left of the barbeque. It will taste foul. Tip 4 - Don't ask me how I know about tips 1-3.......

looks like your using a plate for the chassis
