A little kill switch story, in why it really is something you need to invest in, and its a risk you take in either damaging an investment or worst case hurting someone because you thought it's not your issue, concern, i don't need one, I'm the best most fantastical driver in the world and it will never happen to me..... There I was happily spinning around the local field with my 1/5; things start to go a little awry when it won't turn....i hear "run" in the background, "why" i say as i turn my head to see my beloved car trundling off into the distance, "run you **** idiot" i hear again as this time my 1/5 trundles it's way into the nearby forest..........at 30mph. I run.......it kills me more than my car, but having then drudged through bushes, stinging nettles (in shorts) and down an embankment, i find my car has dived onto an old railway line where several kids on bikes are looking rather puzzled.... (i had visions of them poking it with a stick as it ran on it's roof) In this instance, the most i did was pop out a lower arm, but there was nothing stopping that 15Kg car flying over the embankment and landing on some poor unsuspecting child.... Needless to say, killswitch was ordered....... I "foolishly" thought I could do without, but having a conscience means I can at least now run around with some semblence of thought for others.

FTI throwing his toys out the pram again I see.... A community board is opened for discussion, who cares if people keep asking threads about the same subject? I treat them all the same and give advice where I can, because this community is here to pass knowledge onto others who may be just starting out, aren't as experienced or just simply have a question about something, and to discuss the hobby as a whole, not to open threads detailing your frustration that people keep asking questions about largescales. If people aren't allowed to discuss a specific subject, what's the point of a community forum? Lee.

I bet shops love him more...

Heartening to see the petrol chaps turn on one another rather than having digs at the brushless folk

It's already pointless. Plus he puts his point across in his first post in a very frustrating manner. If he had taken the time to make the points with proper reasoning behind them, in a pleasant way then yes the thread would be suitable, but because the thread is titled "let's put an end to this" and he's basically thrown his toys out the pram just because he's frustrated that people keep discussing these things in my opinion the thread shouldn't have been started in the first place. Multiple threads on a similar subject honestly don't bother me, I'll either look at them or scroll right past them on the new content page.... Lee.

You cant buy the wrong car so to speak, more of what are you prepared to live with lol thing is, youll say "ill sell one and get the other" but then you dont sell it, then you buy another car anyway, then 2 becomes 3 and then 3 becomes 4 and then 4 becomes a divorce

It doesn't bother me whether people run a genuine HPI baja or a clone of any description, as long as they're happy and that it doesn't affect anyone else in a negative way. I've got a KM clone because not only couldn't I afford to spend

that is your opinion, you may want to rethink about buying things from me again, as my baja doesn't have a killswitch, so i guess that makes me a fool.

Look in the petrol section there are countless threads about KM's, more to the point very recent threads. Basic searching on the website is your best starting point.

If you live in Leeds your track is 50% better automatically

So am back on the road Here's a few pic of the diffs upgraded and my new shocks Centre Front/Rear Then here's it all back together Rear Front So took it out and put 2 2s packs through it and nothing broke but need new wheels and tyres as one is completely buckled, found better clearance from the proline shocks, so only a few more upgrades left on my list to do and some of them our cosmetic upgrades

Just rang the council in shields pretending to be interested in going to watch the brass band and asked about designated parking. No mention of gypsies green being used only the overflow carpark at the dragons fc? She even said it'll not even be that busy as there's no concert on this sunday GYPSIES GREEN HERE WE COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gaz the secret fg lover

Update: Email battle with German Customs HQ commenced.

Yer I'm feeling the cheap solutions but its all about image, if you want to be a cool cat you can't turn up with your wheels in a sandwich bag

It sounds the business The arms look like an RPM copy which looks miles better then stock. And the shell has some really cool colors and graphics, looks good Now as someone said above somewhere get it dirty

Looks great ,like the new shape arms :-)

You will really engine it dude I'm sure we all look forward to what you modify it like because you actually did a good job of upgrading that Yama I think it was? When you first got petrol

Still reckon you should consider the Caterham !!!! Al.

hay fella I should be there smiithy1 steve smith running my 1/10 firestorm

He was fed-up with the same questions. Best thing to do is not to reply.

Then the solution is very obviuosly clear- Don't answer them! No point winding yourself up about other peoples questions. Some new members will be still be finding their way around their account and probably are not sure about the search option.

Finally got started

there good.... no ...... great condition compared to my tires LOL

Rule book it's an organised event for the police common sense is what we need .. And yeah name for the drivers on the day would help guys so if your going just say and you get added to the drivers list simples .

a arms never actually broken any on my hyper but i am guessing they are the most common things to go

Delivery 5. Just about to start it!

The big stuff is deceptively fast though. They just don't look it.

no, it's the watchers on the forum for sale section that love him most......you can hear them whispering....'ey up, that Richarddenton has bought more toys, give him a fortnight and they'll be on here!!!' and back on topic, a rather natty Motorhead jacket, ebay bargain from possibly the best seller I have dealt with yet. No rc bits tho cos I just don't need any at the mo....which is nice

I did say I'd get these pics up a long time ago... Custom mud guards. Low profile savox servo

Parcel 2 has arrived! HotBodies/HPI large pit mat, hpi parts boxes, 1/10 camber gauge.

Yep outlaws the man I've just had a losi spur gear cover done like a donut

Just to help you, this is my KM, not finished 100% yet but I'm sure it will sway you

SOLD

HPI - Because you can't afford a Losi 5T.

Hope it's shield ;-) Gaz I'll sort Fg out for you :-P

Parcel one!

Defo going to go to few bashes mate. Dont know about trading parts tho lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

ShenQi is the worst thing you can buy as I have one although all parts have been replaced with the hpi, I basically had to get it to a stock hpi as all the plastics are crap I wouldnt touch it pole again the diff n gears gave way while breaking the engine in on the first tank

more than one

Ask in the forums here and elsewhere. You could try asking in the facebook page also. Fingers crossed.

HPI : Torque is cheap.

Got a delivery of a few new parts and took part in a comp. Finished on the podium for the first time. 3rd

Yeah I would go for the 19T would be a nice balance actually. I need to have a look at spur gears soon. Mine is a little wobbly. Will look forward to see how you get on.
